I am building my first website for myself. I am using Elegant Themes, which uses WordPress. I am attempting to modify (reduce in size) a banner on my website, which appears within a slider on the homepage. After modifying the image in Gimp 2.8, I attempt to save/export the new image, and a window appears "The folder contents could not be displayed." How can I proceed?

I want to position the logo and the words exactly where they are right now but 'stretch' the image along with its shading gradient, right across the screen.
I'm trying to create a simple header for a website which starts off at one edge of the page with a straight line and then curves over as it reaches the other end. I want to then fill it with a gradient.
I've tried working with the pen tools and line tools in photoshop but just can't get the curve right and can't then do a gradient fill.
making an image that has only text and a transparent background. I want to use this as a banner/logo for my website and would like the "text" to sit on top of my site background.
I have tried several things that I know of in PS CC, but when I upload it to my website I get the text siting on a white background, thus my site background does not show through.
I am trying to add a scrolling banner to the homepage of my website - is this possible? If so, how is this done?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIf you could modify attached background image so it would be more suitable for a repeating background image for a website? I have been already trying to do that by myself for hours (duplicating layers, flipping them horizontally/vertically, offset...), but how to realize that well. The main problem is that gradients and textures on borders are way to rough and it is really noticeable when so small background gets repeated for many times. On top of that, corners have dark shadows which make everything even more noticeable. Please note that attached image should be resized for about 3 times, I'm just posting original image which I have to work with.

Go to File > Dialogs > Choose Layers or just hit CTRL-L. This opens up the Layers Dialog (or window).
The problem is there is no dialogue option in file. I do not know what to do.

I've been trying to make a banner for Etsy using a couple of my own photos but I can't seem to get more than one photo to cooperate.
Here's the tutorial I've been using: How to Produce an Etsy Shop Banner in GIMP
I'm able to get the first photo situated but when I try to add more, the image won't scale down correctly like the first one did. Am I doing something wrong? Can I even add multiple photos to the same banner using this method?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got several photo files I've taken for a friend, edited them to display a transparent background, to use on his website. They're saved right now as layered psd's.
They're pretty large files (40-70 MB). My challenge is that the webmaster asked for them to be sized "at least 1800 pixels @ 72 dpi longest side." I'm a bit confused at the 1800 pixels @ 72 dpi.
I'm planning to save them as .png and .tif (this is what was requested).
I'm using PS CS5 and my OS is Win 7.
I have created an animated gif using gimp. The gif loops fine when I open it in my image viewer and even if I open the image in my browser. I have created a website and want the image on the site, but when I upload it to the site, it doesn't animate / loop. I would really like the image to loop automatically when visitors view the site.

Sure, I might need someday to save Scitex CT, or Photoshop DCS, but the chances are very slim. Some people surely use PIXAR and TARGA, but I don't. What the hell is an IFF? If I ever need a Portable Bit Map (really?) file it would be great if I could find it in a user defineable option pull down. I can pretty well guarantee that the file types I need are PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PNG and once in a blue moon, GIF.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to add "frames" to some of the graphics I'm using on a website. The frame I want is really just a white border of 8 or 10 pixels on each of the four sides; the pictures will all be rectangles.
I tried doing a frame like this in Gimp 2.8 (in Windows 8) earlier today and couldn't think of a way to do this very easily. I thought about drawing a white line along the edge of each side of the rectangle but didn't know a good way to draw a straight line of the desired thickness exactly where I want it. I thought about using the eraser to turn the edges white but that seemed clumsy.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to select and modify an EXISTING rectangle (not create a new one)? I drew a rectangle with rounded corners, and now I would like to modify the radius of the corners.
I've tried using the Rectangle Select tool to reselect the existing rectangle, but Gimp only lets me create a new rectangle.
I design custom banners which include both text and images and have no problem saving my files as PSDs or PDFs as long as I stay under 96" wide.
The minute I go wider, CS4 no longer gives me all my normal options, instead it gives me TIF, PSB, Photoshop RAW, or DICOM.
I usually try to give my banner production house files that are not undersized as I don't want to have all the edges aliased and jaggy.
Especially photographic portions of the banner. Is there a size limitation with CS4 Photoshop regarding saving in "normal" file formats?
Typically I give my production house 300dpi PDFs and it works out great.
If I the image map I use for my website.....could have copyable text.
For instance.... here is a link to a page on my website...the whole body of the webpage is a png image that I made using gimp and the image map option. The problem is that the text is not copyable...since it is part of the image. Is there a way to keep the format as it is, but make the test copyable as if it were a website made by the regular, HTML programming way?
How & where to modify my ''Underlying layers'' for an image I am working on.
The overall project/design is for a t-shirt mock-up template. The whole idea is to make it as realistic looking as possible (photorealistic)
I found a great tutorial (which unfortunately was made for photoshop...) I was to follow it and pretty much apply the instruction to Gimp. However, there is part where the ''Underlying layers'' are being tweeked.

Second question. How to make a text looks "real".
I have thought : let's take a picture of a someone holding a blank paper and add a message.
[URL].....
It's not bad but it doesn't look as if I had stamped the message. So I was wondering is there any tool to do so ? Or to make the text fit the picture. As you can see, the quality is not perfect, the first thing coming in my mind is "pixels". It seems we have two different kind of "pixelisation" (I don't know if it's the correct term for what I want to say) : an "old" picture with a new text...I tried the pixel filter it's not working fine.
