These gradients in gimp are really hard to figure out (not saying other things seem easy to me), however I'm sure if one knows what to do, they can solve many problems.
I had that screenshot of a text list:
And I wanted to make it fade away from the highlighted line:
However, with the blend tool, this is actually impossible or really really hard, because I can't aim it so preciselly.

I used a heart fill pattern of the right 75% of the picture and the left 75% of the picture is selected overlapping the first fill in the background... I want to fill the selected background area with a flame fill pattern where it overlaps the selected portion of the heart pattern as well as the transparent area... 'overlay' looks better but Gimp is FAILING to fill the transparent areas, it ONLY fills the overlapped heart pattern portion of the selected content!!! I even tried filling the transparent area with 'white' then filling the selected area, but it STILL ONLY wants to overlay fill the heart pattern, it STILL leaves the rest alone!!! it doesn't matter if the background is white or transparent, it leaves that alone and ONLY fills the heart pattern area of selected portion of the image!!!
I am trying to use the rectangle tool to select a rather specific area. I am trying to make a 50x50 square in the bottom left corner, but I don't know how I would accomplish this.

usually, it will work when i frst open the document, but after i start making new layers/text then i try to do this, the shape i make disappears.
how i can keep the shape so i can select the paint bucket tool?
Is there a simple way to create a "filled rectangle" in GIMP - without using the Bucket Fill Tool?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've made an abstract background using a gradient fill on the background and some ellipse selections also filled with overlay gradients. This image has been saved as .xcf before closing down Gimp. When I reopen the image, I don't see any way to remove the gradient fill so that I'm just left with the selection.
Ultimately, I want to change the gradient colors .
I've selected a rectangular area of a jpeg and I want to fill it with a particular colour from another area of same image. Bucket Fill doesn't work here as it only selects from particular colours and shades in forground/background.

How can I use the bucket-fill option to fill an area surrounded by a dottedline?
The dotted line is a path; so if I use a line for the dots, the bucket-fillworks.
But how can I step back after filling to change the path's line into dotsagain?

I'm trying to create an effect on a webpage using a gradient. I'm basically looking for 4 regular linear gradients starting at each of the four sides of the page and turning transparent/white in at about 15%, I don't want the gradient to go all the way to the middle. The problem is of course the corners, I cannot figure out a way to make them look right.
 Does anyone know how to do this or have any ideas? I'm new to ps but fairly proficient. This is what I have so far but I'm looking for blended corners, like a picture frame....one of the keys that I'm looking for is the ability to change how far the gradients extend from the edge of the page.
All im tryin to do is create a rectangle with a gradient on it starting with blue and finishing with light blue. I create the canvas, then new layer, then rounded rectangle then when i try and put a gradient on it it wont let me telling "the content of the layer is not directly editable? i must be missing something dead simple?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have Photoshop CS and I am not sure how to create a rectangular box (in the corner of a photo) with a black border of about 3px, and the inside of the box should be colored in an orange-yellow gradient.
Then I want to create another rectangular box (in a different corner of the same photo), again with a black border of about 3px, and the inside of the box should be a straight white.
I have tried it using the rectangular marquee tool and then going to Edit | Stroke (3 px), but the border itself is colored orange/yellow. I click the gradient tool and that part seems OK, but I end up with an orange/yellow gradient framed by a yellow border - and not a black one.
How do I fill a rectangle with a color?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to draw a rectangle of a certain size (150 s.f.) then stretch it from a corner but have it automatically adjust to maintain the size desired. So I would start with a 10 x 15 shape, then have ability to stretch to 12.5' x ? and as I stretch say the 10' width toward 12.5' the other end of rectangle (15) reduces to 12.

Two Questions
1) How do I color the top and sides of a 3D object, made by extrusion a rectangle, with a gradient color? In what I am doing.... I don't really care about the "texture" of the 3D rectangle, I want the top and sides to match the gradient I made on the face of the rectangle. I see the in properties of the extruded material the diffuse, specular, illumination and ambient settings.....but none of these lets you pick a gradient color.
I "guess" I can make separate layers to build a 3D rectangle box, and warp/distort the visible top and side after coloring it with a gradient..........but it seems like this is the idea, or part of the idea of a 3D object.
2) Why is there no true 3D rectangle objects, only cubes (spheres, pyramids, etc.)? Can you scale the cube into a 3D rectangle, if so how?
Let's say I have a rectangle and I want to fill a table inside of it.
The below is the code snippet I wrote.....
Table tb = new Table();tb.NumColumns = 5;tb.NumRows = 40;tb.SetRowHeight(C_height / 40);tb.SetColumnWidth(C_width / 5);tb.Position = new Point3d(ext.MaxPoint.X, total_MaxPoint.Y, 0);tb.Width = C_width;tb.Height = C_height;tb.SetTextHeight(C_height / 40, (int)RowType.DataRow);tb.HorizontalCellMargin = 0;tb.VerticalCellMargin = 0;btr.AppendEntity(tb);tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(tb, true);
Where C_width and C_height are the width and height of the rectangle respectively.
Then, I got the following
The red line is the specified rectangle. It seems like SetRowHeight and SetColumnWidth are not working.
FYI, the rectangle size is around width = 3.5m height = 5m.
I just want a one point thick border rectangle with nothing filled. I tried using the rectangle marquee and stroke. Doesn't work. I tried the rectangle tool and rasterized, it disappeared.

I have placed a rectangle in my template and want to know if there's anyway to fill this rectangle with a color?
I can use another object if that's better - mainly wanting to be able to fill a pre-determined space with a back color.
I need to create a text with a rectangle background and a coloured border around this rectangle. Here is what I do:
- I create a text
- I select the text and add a fill and a stroke that I then transform into a rectangle
- I now have my "label" as I want it to be but now I need to rotate it.
Problem is I can rotate the text but fill and stroke don't follow, they remain horizontal and just adapt so that it still fits the text. As a result I have a rotated font with a big rectangle box. Can I rotate fill+stroke with the text?
I`m still using Xara X1... and am having two issues with the rectangular tool.
First, the rectangle draws on an angle, almost more like a diamond. I would like it to draw parallel to a horizon.
Second, the rectangle draw includes a linear fill. I would like to lose that parameter so that the rectangle can be a simple solid color that I can choose for myself.
I am making a graph template that I would like to be able to quickly adjust when needed. I am wondering how to constrain the rectangles so they maintain their total area while their proportions are changed?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI don't know if it is the update or not but every time I fill a rectangle with noise and create a bitmap copy and try to erase the white with Medhi eraser classic XP&GD and XDPX now stops working. I have tried this over and over with the same result, or should I say lack of a result? All I am trying to do is make a star field. This is the same basic method I used before to create animated snow..

I am trying to make a rounded corner frame, sides about an inch wide, with a black gradient fill that fades onto the inner edges of the frame. This may be a bit hard to visualize, but I can post an example, if someone will tell me how to post photos.
I can do the frame with rounded corners; just can't get the gradient to fade out onto all sides of the frame. Gradients have always given me trouble.
Is there a way to get the Area option of the rectangle command to work in square feet rather than square inches?
