Gimp "Save for Web" plugin 0.28.4

, , , , , , ,

A month ago Aurimas Juska has updated his nice "Save for Web" plugin for GIMP up to 0.28.4. This web export is simliar to Photoshop's "Save for Web" and allow you to export graphics into the popular image formats Gif, JPEG and PNG. The exporter dialog gives you a visual feedback and includes functions for croping and resizing.
I couldn't try it out it was just available as sources and Windows binaries. Now i found at a Ubuntu board a Ubuntu deb archive of 0.28.4 of this version which looks sweet and runs well smile
I updated my article "Pimp the Gimp for 3D" too.

Cool, good to know it runs under Hardy. I'm still using Gutsy but will update soon.

I just can't seem to press "enter" to save a file after I've typed in the file name - I have to press the Save button manually. Do you experience this too?

Hi,

now i'm uptodate with Ubuntu Hardy Heron (YEAH!) and on my system anything works fine.
"I have to press the Save button manually. Do you experience this too?" - Nope, here it runs perfect. Drop Aurimas a line about it: http://registry.gimp.org/node/33

He will always answer smile

Hi Apit,

check out the funtions at Filter > Web there is a slicing tool available. Soon i will start writing an Script called "Super slice" which will offer more options for slicing.
