I want to generate a transparent embossed text watermark .png file that can be batch-applied in Lightroom. I get how to apply a bump map to an image inside GIMP, but I haven't figured a good way to get an otherwise transparent .png with just the watermark.
Ideally, this would be totally transparent except for lit areas (white, at varying degrees of opacity) and shaded areas (black, with varying degrees of opacity). In GIMP, I can apply a bump map to anything opaque -- lightening and darkening the color, I guess -- but I can't apply it to a transparent layer.
If there's no straightforward way to do that, I imagine I could bump map onto gray, turn the resulting light grays into a mask for a white layer and the dark grays into a mask for a black layer. The content of the watermark will change, so it would be outstanding if there's a simpler way to do this.
I would like to add a hidden watermark to my photos, but not sure how to do so. I did find a tutorial of how to make the watermark in GIMP, but it was written using an old version of GIMP. I have the current 2.8 version.
I add a watermark to all the photos I post to the web. I've (for years) used a transparent .png file and it's worked fine. Since starting to shoot with Canon Raw, I'm now doing the editing in CS5 for Windoze. (W7 pro 640 bit)
Since I've been unable to find a visible watermark feature in CS5, I've been dragging, then dropping the .png file on the edited image, placing it, then adjusting the opacity to a value of 5 or 6. That works out ok.
But when I drop the .png onto the edited file, its size is inconsistent. Well, it's consistent in that it's about 150 percent of what it should be. Both the edited file and the watermark image are 800 pixels wide. However, at what seems random frequency, the dropped image is about 1200 pixels wide, necessitating alignment and resizing before placing.
First, have I overlooked a visible watermark function?I know that's a loaded question, but if it's a method that should work, why is the dropped image inconsistent in its size? Next, is it reasonable to create an action to overlay the edited image with the watermark? I always use the same file, so it would seem like a reasonable thing.
I want to make a watermark to include in all my images. I would like to create some text which is semi transparent one side then fading to completely transparent the other side. I have CS5.
Is there a way to select a portion of an image, and create patterns/textures that fill the selection?
If yes, is there the option of using my own images as the pattern/texture to be used? And is there the option to fill the selection either randomly or pattern-like? 'Noise' is not what I'm looking for.
I see nothing on these pages about Watermarks. Is there a way in GIMP to embed a watermark? OR, if there is no way to do that would a second, TOP layer, suffice for embedding something before flattening that would bar people from using photos for stock items?
When I change the opacity on my text layer, the text does not fade. It disolves instead. The resolution was terrible, became worse and then the text suddenly dissapered.
I don't think it was the disolve type either when it is set in that mode. However,I tried changing the mode anyway
I changed the mode to normal, divide,. overlay, burn, soft light, subtract. Whatever I tried it made no difference.
I jsut got gimp, and I am using it to make wallpapers for myself and my family. I have a few pictures of my favorite baseball player and I would like to make myself a wall with them, but they all have a watermark on them. I would generally try and find pics without the watermark, but I can't find anything because he is not a big name. How to remove the watermark from the images.
That's the gif. In the upper right is the white corner I need to get rid of. It shows in every frame of the gif
I don't know where to begin. I've tried selecting it, and making it transparent, but that doesn't seem to have any affect, so I think it might be deep-set into the image in some way. It's not just white paint on top of the layer.
I tried to get into the IRC to ask this question but I kept getting a 404 message. My question is....is "filling with transparent" the same as "tinting"? (explanation: In the image editor that Photobucket used to have I could change the color of something in a picture without losing the original shading, etc. They no longer have that image editor so I am looking for an Open Source program that is easy to use and has that feature.)
I have followed about a dozen tutorials on how to make a background transparent and it seems as though I am doing everything right but... When I go to import my new image to PrintMaster it gives me a warning that the transparency may turn black. It does darken the transparency and has a noticable rectangle around the image that should have a transparent background. I have tried exporting the image in every form possible and nothing seems to work.
I created a transparent digital signature png from a scanned original handwritten signature. It works fine for adding a signature to pdf documents with a white background.
For those times when the background is other shading/pattern, say a 'grayscale' looking shading/pattern...I want to 'adapt' the background of the signature.png to that of the pdf.
So in practice open the pdf, select an area that has different shading/pattern up to the clipboard, and make the background of the signature the same as that in clipboard; with hopes the background will 'blend' into the pdf.
I have seen several instructions on how to fade a picture to transparent. How I can fade a picture to the exact color of the background, i.e. the edge of the picture disappears and smoothly transitions into the background color? All fading I have tried sofar still leaves an edge of the picture visible, contrasting with the background.
I have spent some time trying, in PaintShop Pro 7, to create an image with a transparent background to use as a layer over an underlying jpg.
I have now done it in Gimp, and tried it over another image in Gimp - it works. But when I export the image either as a GIF or as a JPG there is no transparency when I paste it over another image in PaintShop Pro.
Perhaps it would be easier to do the whole thing in Gimp, but it would be convenient to be able to do it in PSP too.
i have been trying to import an image (png) with a transparent background into blender as a plane. all gos well until i unselect the plane then there is a blackish gradded border around the image. the image works fine in all other applications just not with blender. i have fooled with all the settings i can with gimp but i'm stuck.
I have scanned in some red coloured Chinese characters. They were on white paper. Now I want to make the 'white' disappear, because it ist not quite white, and when I print I get a shadowy block around the characters. If I save a .png, can I tell it to make white invisible, transparent?
I wanted to create transparent icon.i created it and i can see black&ash rectangles around the image, this confirm that as a transparent image.But after exporting it to jpg or png White color background is coming when i see it in photo viewer.
How to avoid that white background, am i doing a correct method?
i want to be able to use the fussy select tool to remove the Background of a picture so i can paste it over another picture, but whenever i delete the background it doesent become transparent, only into the colour ive recently used
I have an image that I want to paste a question mark over. I found this clipart question mark. I would like to fill in the regions of the symbol with grey translucent color.
I have an image I want to cut the white space out of and make it transparent. I can use the magic wand tool to highlight everything I want to remove, but when I hit delete on my keyboard nothing happens.
It's originally a JPG image with a white background that I am pasting into GIMP.
I attempted to magic wand what I wanted to keep and then to copy/paste it to a new document, but the image is too intense to highlight it, it is much easier to just highlight the whitespace surrounding it.
I need to make the background transparent, so as usual, I used the fuzzy tool and then, tried to cut the background out, but it actually cuts out more parts then I need it to(it cuts out other parts with similar colours), so is there a way that I can pick a colour specifically and then cut the part with that colour out?
