Thanks I got Gimp 1.1.11 compiled it, had to get a few extra packages (i.e. PDL and so on) compiled it again, still got a few errors, but it installed any way (I don't know a thing about compiling and such stuff - will leave it to the guys that do - I just followed the instructions). now my "script-fu" is not working (most of them), will have to go and figure what is needed to get it to work again. but my impression so far; I am very impressed Thanks again Olof S Kylander wrote: > Hello > > You can't do it with Gimp 1.0 but you can do it with the developers > version of Gimp i.e Gimp 1.1.x . > > A work around is to calculate it your self (described in the PrePress > Chapter).
