| tyche_ | Yep. It would mean keeping an .xcf file, making the change there, then flattening the image and saving as jpg. | 16:59 |
| tyche_ | In .xcf format, the text can be changed simply by double clicking on it. But it's still a process. | 16:59 |
| sayakb | (if you save as jpg, you wont need to flatten the image) | 17:00 |
| sayakb | should do it automatically.. same applies for PNG and other raster formats | 17:01 |
| tyche_ | Yep. But flattened, the text becomes part of the image. That's why one uses layers and xcf. | 17:02 |
| sayakb | ofcourse | 17:02 |
| tyche_ | I've been doing this sort of stuff for years. Worse, I've been doing it in AutoCAD, then switching off and on layers depending on what I needed. | 17:03 |
| kennymc0 | ah bragging now i see | 17:03 |
| tyche_ | It's really a trip when you 3D the ground around a factory, then use layers to show the original and the developed versions of the plot plan. Even more so when you develop 3 or 4 different solutions for the developed plot plan. About 30 meg worth of drawing file. | 17:04 |
| kennymc0 | bet they apprieciated that | 17:05 |
| kennymc0 | tyche_: you seem to be beside yourself | 17:05 |
| tyche_ | I used to drive the boss crazy with the fact that I could just switch a couple of layers and show him a topological map of what the changes would look like. | 17:05 |
| kennymc0 | hee hee | 17:06 |
| sayakb | :D | 17:06 |
| tyche_ | That particular boss was in charge of the plants and grounds, so I ended up doing the same sort of thing for the batch plant (where the concrete was mixed and poured from) | 17:07 |
| kennymc0 | it seems like you enjoyed the work you did with that job | 17:07 |
| tyche_ | He could look at it from any angle, I could switch off the skin, so he could see the inside of the tower, including the mixer, fans, etc. | 17:07 |
| tyche_ | Yep. I did. It was a challenge, and definitely stretched my abilities. | 17:08 |
| kennymc0 | that's always a good thing | 17:08 |
| tyche_ | Saved his butt a few times, too, when he'd come up with an idea and I could show him, in 3D, why it wouldn't work. | 17:08 |
| kennymc0 | and it's always fun to annoy a boss by doing something better than he/she can | 17:09 |
| kennymc0 | hee hee | 17:09 |
| kennymc0 | i bet he apprieciated that | 17:09 |
| kennymc0 | :) | 17:10 |
| tyche_ | It got to the point where he'd actually start asking my opinion about how to make things work. | 17:10 |
| tyche_ | And THAT was good. | 17:10 |
| kennymc0 | usually that's a possition that would get you better pay but i bet you got paid the same | 17:10 |
| tyche_ | When I left that job I was $1 over the national "BASE" pay for that position. I got a $5 raise just coming out to Arizona | 17:11 |
| kennymc0 | well that must have been nice | 17:12 |
| tyche_ | And that was as a temp. I got another $1 raise when I went permanent. | 17:12 |
| kennymc0 | yeah i've tried a couple of temp agencies and one flat out told me not to come in because they had no possitions for me and didnt expect to get any soon | 17:13 |
