I'm trying to create an iOS7-like tinted gauze png that I can use on top of other images to blur them. I have the color and transparency right where I want them, but my problem is with the gaussian effect.
I basically want to somehow embed the gaussian effect into this image (.png) so that when it is layered on top of another image outside of Gimp the underlying image will be blurred, like if you swipe up on your phone to bring up the brightness and volume menu.
I download camera RAW pictures to Adobe Bridge and then open them in Photoshop CS4, however the other day I had to re-activate my software and now everytime i try to open a picture into Photoshop, the pictures are tinted blue. How do I fix this problem???
I was using Photoshop CS5 (64-bit) fine yesterday but today each image I open shows a loss of colour, everything looks like a blue tinted grayscale.The same with RAW files opened in ACR and all files opened in Bridge.When I open a JPEG version in Microsoft Image Viewer the colour is fine.In Windows, the thumbnails look fine with full colour in the folders.The loss of colour only happens when the image files are opened in Photoshop, Bridge and ACR.
I shoot in Camera RAW on a Canon 5D2 in LR3 and I'm having colour issues; skin tones are often purple/magenta tinted and very difficult to correct. I usually set the WB to Custom and shoot a grey card and set the picture style on the camera to Neutral (why does the WB affect RAW images anyway, I thought it only operated on the jpgs?)
On import, pics often look ok then resolve into higher contrast, garish colour versions which are less pleasing - have I set a preference incorrectly or am I missing something else?
I have an app on my iPod called "Photoshop Express", and it has the simple option of 'Tint', which will tint the image the color you want (red, green, etc.). How do you do this on normal, desktop Photoshop?
No fancy "how I like it", I want just the image to be tinted red, or green, or blue, and the image have the color info, meaning if I convert it to Black and White, you could tell a difference in lightness and darkness from the original picture (you can tell it was tinted).
I took a picture with an infared camera. When i checked the pic, it was very red. Is there anything in photoshop that could filter it back to a normal colour picture?
So I looked up some tutorials on how to do this because I wanted to maybe create some grungey brushes from these photos I took but I can't seem to make a test of what the tutorials tell me to do turn up in my brush palette. I followed both of these tutorials: [URL]. Saved the files as .gbr and .gih (i think is the other one it told me to do) and neither show up with my brushes.
In a related matter, I've never been able to find an option to refresh my brushes, there's no refresh button with the rest of them down the bottom of the palette.
i like to create grip , all it gave me is to use the filter -> render -> grid plugin , now for my job all i want to do is if i have for example square image like 1530 x 1530 and i want that the grid will be 8 x 8 matrix , when the grid lines are 1 pix width.
i dont what to calculate the right spacing on each grid cell as the grid filter gives me i just what GIMP to calculate me the right spacing for this image and grip line width.

I've noticed that one can download brush sets where several brushes are contained in a single file. Is it possible to use GIMP to create one of these files, or is that strictly a Photoshop thing?
I'm trying to create a bmp file from my xcf file (Gimp OSX 2.8.4). I do this by exporting it and choosing bmp as the file extension. When I look a the new image in Mac Preview, it looks OK. The image displays properly and the file type shows "Windows bitmap image" as its kind. All seems well...
However, when I try to use this file in OpenGL, it renders in green (its an image of natural wood). So what's up? I go to the command line and type "file wood.bmp" and the response is "wood.bmp: data". It should say "wood.bmp: PC bitmap, Windows 3.x format, 128 x 128 x 12" (or something similar).
Somehow this file has not been created quite correctly.
Someone wants me to make them a logo for their website, and they want a "Backspace" keyboard key underneath their text.
Is it possible to create one of these "Backspaces Keys" of my own, or is it only possible to copy one from Google somewhere and render the image in Gimp to make it look more like a logo? How do I go about doing this in the Gimp format if it is possible?
I have difficulties managing the following: I have a disk area (A minimap) and I want to add one (or two) small borders (that look bumpy) around the disk.
I basically want to achieve something like this: [URL]..... As you can see it has an outer border ring (with a very small line in the middle) and another inner ring. The outer ring drops a little shadow onto the inner ring.
I tried the following: Made a circle (with selection tool) -> Selection -> Shrink (3px) -> Filled with grayish color. Now I have a ring and I tried to apply various filters onto this ring to create a border (mainly decor -> border filter, but they all produced weird results).
Well I made some really ghetto floorplans using MS Paint and now I tried to upgrade. URLs....So yeah, goes to show you cant really do this with MS Paint.
see all the tools like blend, sharpen etc, I know what all that does but most of this stuff is for like editing photos. Im just trying to create some floorplans and stuff. Can't even find a way to make a rectangle-box like how I could do on MS Paint.
I start with a background. Then I bring up a new image which sometimes has a picture of my background on it - it isn't a pic of the chosen image. And - I don't know when to create a new layer.I have the background as layer base, then I create a new layer, then I bring up an image to paste in the layer & on the background i.e. I copy, then paste on the background, but nothing happens, and the layer I created is empty.I'm all mixed up. What is the sequence for creating a new layer, then copying & pasting it to the background??
I have been trying to create an image using gimp, but i cannot seem to get it 100% and 'm trying to paste an image onto anothe image , but cut out certain parts etc.the image is of a woman, and i am trying to add angel wings but for her arm to be over the top of the wings not behind.
I want to create a logo to put on my web page. I want to type in 5 or 6 words then make everything but the words transparent, and save as a png (or maybe giff). Have tried in Gimp but no luck so far.
I'm trying to create the attached two logos I drew. The top is a stand alone "A" logo with a space background inside the star and a metalic A and loop.
The second also is metalic lettering except for the s which I would like to be bright yellow at the start and fade down the underline.
I've tried to create a rotating Planet for my program ( the rotation itself is fine... but it feels like the image is moving left inside a circle frame ) . I was told I need to add depth, bump so to say. I've tried to add a bit of bumpmap with gimp
But it does not feel round... I'm obviously no expert at Gimp. What should I do with the following image to make it feel more round, the center should feel like it's higher...and the corners should feel like they are going around to the back.
how to create cinders rising up (from a flame that isn't visible which is off screen), a heat haze or distortion that you see when come from jet engines and some simple smoke.
I'm sure 'variable transparency' is not the right way of putting this.
I have an image which has some text in white. However because of the aliasing the text is not 100% white against the background (black). Rather; the edges are shades of white.
I want to convert the image so that the text is transparent. If the text was 100% white it would be simple. Colors.. Colors To Alpha. However that doesn't work as it doesn't deal with the shades of white around the edges of the text.
I want the shades of white to be transparent with the same degree of opacity as they white. So the white in the image is 100% transparent and a pixel which is say light grey to be 90% transparent. (The end image is going to be used as a webkit mask; showing the background behind the masked element).
I don't know where to start with this. I know PNGs support 8 bit transparency so it should in theory be possible.
I have used gimp before with awesome results, but one thing I have not been able to find for Gimp is a tutorial on how to create an exploding effect. I am specifically looking to be able to have a picture of say a face, then being able to have the left half of the face look like it is exploding while keeping the right face fully intact. sort of like the image that I have linked.

I'd like to say something good about GIMP other than its free. I'm using GIMP 2.8.2 and Windows 7 64-bit.
How do I create a text layer?
Create new blank imageSelect the "A" text tool from the Tool Options panelClick on the imageEnter text (and select font etc.) in the popup dialogueThen wait... ?
I expected a new text layer to be created at Step 3, and as you can see in the attached screenshot my expectations are unrealistic. How do I get from the popup dialogue to an actual layer of text?
I am attempting to create curved text in GIMP. Here are the steps which I complete:
1. Create a curved path 2. Type the text 3. Click text to path
This all works fine, except that it doesn't give me all of the text along the path. For example, if the text is supposed to read "Church-wide Picnic," it will only give me "Church-wide Pi."
I have created the path all the way across the screen and made the text as small as possible, and it still does this.
I have a jpg file from which I need to crop a 128x128 section and create a bmp file from it.
I've cropped the image and copied it into a new file. But when I go to save it (as .xcf), I see my smaller image but it is centered within a gray border that is the size of my original image. I want just the 128x128 part and nothing extra.
I've attached a screen shot to show what I am dealing with.
