GIMP :: How To Crop Heart Shape Of Face And Layer That Into White Background
Apr 16, 2012
I recently lost a pet and want to use a photo of her as a tribute. What I'd like to do is to crop a heart shape of her face and layer that into a white background. The question I have is: how on earth do you draw a perfect heart using the lasso?
when I anchor the layer face over the background face the floating selection disappears which means I cannot work on the layer face and therfore am unable to erase the layer face into the background face,this is on gimp 2.6
I've got some pictures and Corel Paintshop photo pro x3. It's a nice program but I cant figure out how to crop photos into shapes without using the "lasso". My hand isn't so great with fine shapes so any way to cut a shape by using one of the presets?
I am trying to cut out a photo in a heart shape, I have looked at other tutorials but it isn't working.
I know there are several methods, I can create a path an draw my own heart, I can find a heart shape on the internet like this one below and "invert" (didn't work)
I've tried to custom shape tool and created a heart, but the text wont go the direction I want it to... I want it to start at the bottom left and go up and finish on the bottom right.
I'm making a poster for a friend of mine, and he wants the earth to be heart shaped.
I have a picture of the earth, opened in photoshop. My question is, how do I make it heart shaped.
I tried creating another layer, and using the custom shape thing to create a heart, and then tried clone stamping the earth pic into the heart, but it didn't work. The error I got was;
"could not use clone stamp because content of layer is not directly editable"
Is there a way to make the earth into a heart shape?
If this is the wrong forum, please let me know, and direct me to the right forum.
Okay so I'm trying to take the white background off of a picture using the select a color on white, but it takes out a lot or the fur and eyes(it's a picture of a cartoon cat) How can I remove the areas of can from the selection without removing the pieces of cat too.
It's creative commons, so I guess I can post screen shots...
The cat is from [URL]...
A general idea of the selected area
What happens when I take out the selected area
So how can I take the pieces of the cat out of the selected area so when I try to delete the background I don't get an invisible cat?
I created a logo and then opened it as a layer so that I can make a website header image. It is shown here [URL] and as you can see the background is an off-white colour. It is probably unnoticeable to many, but I would prefer to get it right. How can I make the background a pure white so that it blends in with the white of the wordpress theme?
I was wondering how to outline a shape in a picture and then make the rest of the picture white.
I've included 2 pictures: This one is an example of what I want to do:
This one is the picture that I want to edit (Outline the shoes in the picture and then make the rest of the picture white): It seems like this can't be too hard but I'm really bad at Photoshop.
A friend had an image created, of a star, and cannot get hold of the person who created it. She's asked me but i have a problem, how to remove the background so you just have the star so that you can layer it on another background? I tried this a few weeks ago, changed it onto a transparent layer. Weird thing is when you put it onto another background, the transparent layer suddenly changes to a white background!
I want to engrave the text 'TEST' all the way around this clonal object. When I use the emboss tool, selecting the option 'wrap to face,' it gives me an error message that the "face selected is not tangent to the profile plane."
I am using a work plane that is offset from the XY plane. I included a screen shot and the file that I am using (Inv. 2014)
I have a picture of a camera, where I want the camera to remain the block colour that it is (grey), but somehow erase the white-filled background to the image, so that it is transparent.
I will explain I little more by use of pictures...
-looks fine, but when I change background to red;
I just need to get rid of the white in the background of the camera layer!
Created test image on a white background. Saved it as a png file. I go to Layer...Transparency....Add Alpha Channel.
I then click fuzzy select tool and click in the white area of the image then hit delete to remove the white background. When I re-save the image, I get the image on a checkered background.
Got the instructions from here: [URL] ........
Seems to work with downloaded/created by someone else images but not with images I create myself.
I have an image of a dog that I'm editing. I took the photo in a studio with a white backdrop. I want to remove a shadow that is behind the dog so the whole background is white. I do not want to lose the detail in the fur of the dog. I've tried doing a mask layer with making the background white. I've also tried the dodge tool. I've tried the selection tool but it look out?
So I'm trying to mak a .gif, however, whenever I paste something into a white background, the white background disappears which makes it really hard to position the object I want to paste correctly. It just started doing this, it wasn't like this before.
I am trying to whiten my photo background .I used the levels tool but now i want to adjust the tone on my photograph to make the picture brighter .I am using the instructions on this link URL.... but i am lost on the instructions to fix the tone.
how to make my image brighter. i am trying to change the background on .
I have a simple clothing pattern I want to make a 3d Texture from which I can do however what I would like to do is make a layer out of the white background around the template with the marked pattern areas as transparent so after I paint the main template clothing ares, I can place the white background with transparent areas back in as a layer to cover where I paint or fill over the marked template area. Is this possible, if so, how?
as an example using a earlier post "Changing a white background to transparent (.png)" I have zoomed part of the edge of the logo.It varies from white through grey then up to the logo colour.My Query how do you decide at what point in this change do you stop the transparent section? As when you put colours or pictures as a background you would I think have to reblend the edges for each type of background.
