I made a triangle with the path tool, but then when I fill it with bucket fill the pixels either get filled or not filled. I want the original triangle, which doesn't lie on pixel edges but between edges ([0,16],[8.5,0],[17,16]), to be painted in such a way that if a pixel is partially in the triangle it gets partially painted. I'm working on a 17x16 size image.
View 2 RepliesMy friend recently bought a mac and is running CS6, the brush preview doesnt seem to be smooth as usual, as you can see the hardness is 50% and should have a soft edged preview display,
but thats not occuring, and the brush also draws with hard edges in the preview window, this was the default soft edged brush selected first.
I create my layers with the pen-tool and some of them I'd like to have a few - several wide pixel border -- and want to use the stroke effect. However, when I do, I get jagged edges on diagonals and curves.
How do I get these strokes to be anti-aliased?
How do I make curved lines in Photoshop that don't have the blocky pixelated edge?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis is what you get when you fill something you've drawn with anti alias.
There's an uncolored space between the filling and the contour.
How do I work around this problem?
Is there som setting that can fix it, or do I have to fix it manually?
I've come up with 2 manual methods for fixing this.
Either making the background a similar color to that of the contour (if you've got black contours you use a nearly black background) so that the color in the spaces blends in with the contour.
But this doesn't work if you want to use more than one contour-color...
*it seems that the smaller the text i use the worst it looks, is there anyway i can reduce the amount of anti-aliaseding as it were on text so it appears sharper? ive tryed changing the methods but its still a long way from perfect.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a set of images of complex text that has already been rasterized into pixels. My client would like the images transformed with a different background color and different foreground (text) color.
Just replacing the 2 colors of course does not preserve the antialiasing which provides the smoothness. And when I try hand-editing the aliased pixels it takes forever and always looks pretty bad.
Ideally there would be a way to transform the color schema globally so that the 2 foreground and background colors are changed as directed, and all "intermediate" antialias pixels adjust "accordingly". Does such a transformation exist -- can you specify a color transformation that adjusts 2 colors at once?
Or is there a more painstaking process of masks and such? I've tried several versions with masks, selects, feathering etc. but haven't found anything yet that gives professional antialias quality to the final recolored result.
I try to anti-alias or matte the edges of a shape in order to make a transparent gif/png of it without having pixelated 'hard edges'. The current situation is that I have a selection of some shape in GIMP. Below the layer with the shape in it, I stroke the selection of my shape with a lighter colour by using a fuzzy paintbrush. This gives me some sort of anti-alising effect, but it isn't any close to the matte option in the 'export for web' dialog of Photoshop. Because I really do like GIMP, I am curious if there is a better way to get anti-aliased shapes using Gimp?

The main thing would be that the angle between corners never change ( that means when increasing the weight, the hight also increases.. ). Already for some time trying to do that using Strech action, but nothing works out. Maybe I'm using not that action tool?

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo when I create a triangle by using the star shape tool and only giving it three points. When I have my triangle, I duplicate it and make it smaller. I center them both up on the canvas, but they don't look centered. As you can see in the picture provided, the bottom has more of a width that the others. I've tried using the alignment tool and the smart guides. I do resize the triangle using shift so it doesn't mess up the shape too.

I tried the Cage Transform: the top of the picture seems good, but it also distorts the bottom line in this case. Other tools seem not suitable at all.
I created this Gif animation with GIMP using Blender to provide the frames. The end result looks like this:

The question is: How to put anti-aliasing on the frames so it won't look as jagged?
Do the newer versions of GIMP provide PNG animation support? Is it planned?
I used gimp 2.6 for awhile just to do simple isolations for various projects.
Recently my gimp 2.6 crashes while trying to load gradients, so i upgraded to 2.8 and all of the brushes that were in 2.6 are gone and NONE of them have anti-aliasing edges so i can isolate things with fuzzy alpha edges.
how to turn this back on or create a brush that has anti-aliasing edges?
I have a selection, make "Edit -> Stroke Selection" -> 4px and Anti-Aliasing is checked, but the stroked line is NOT Anti-Aliased. When I chose an even Line Width like 6 or 8 the Line is Anti-Aliased.
Why there is no Anti-Aliasing for odd Line Widths? Is this a Bug or do I miss something?
As shown in the screen caps below, I have a simple Selection and I filled it with the Paint Bucket tool. However....now the many curved edges of the selection (it was cursive writing) are now EXTREMELY aliased and almost Tron-like in their appearance.
So, is it possible (please say yes!) to fill a selection with anti-aliasing in GIMP, and if so, how do you achieve this?
I've created a panel using the rounded rectangle method.
My panel is transparent on the background and I don't like how the edges of it are shown (too rough). I want to add semi transparent pixels after them (a kind of manual anti-aliasing)
This is my panel:

How can achieve it?
I just upgraded to version 2.8 from 2.6, but now when i try to use my brushes i had installed they look all jagged.
Apparently anti-aliasing is off for brushes now and i cant figure out where to turn it on again.
So I have this small image consisting of a sine:
and I would like to get a gradient border on it (something like two pixels would be perfect) from the green sine to black. (Partial transparancy would be nicer but since .gif doesn't support that...and yes I do need it to be a .gif XD)
Problem is...that I can't get any of the filter options to work, they are all disabled. After some tests I noticed that this is because there's an alpha layer that for some reason disables the filters.
So...how to get a gradient (green to black) border on the sine?
I want to cut a gradient with hard edges. But gimp is anti aliasing and color blending the edges with every tools. Same happens on filling the selected area, or erasing, or deleting.
See here. The upper is the original before filling with white/deleting the selected are, the lower is the result. The edges are blended, but i don't want it to be blended!
How can i disable this behavior?
I wish to impose an image on to another. a foreground image onto a background image. Hence for the foreground image I need the background (of the front image) to be transparent (alpha) which Ive done following this tutorial: [URL] .....
Note: the back colour is pure white (#FFFFFF)
However the issue arises that one of the people in the image is wearing a light blue shirt, hence when i follow the tutorial, it makes his shirt semi-transparent.
After much looking around i found this in the docs: [URL] ........
Which states: "It will attempt to preserve anti-aliasing information by using a partially intelligent routine that replaces weak color information with weak alpha information. In this way, areas that contain an element of the selected color will maintain a blended appearance with their surrounding pixels. "
However I dont want this, what i wish to happen is that anything is pure white is changed to alpha, and anything NOT pure white is left as is.
Hence it my understanding through the document quote above, the solution is to disable this ant-aliasing function as described in the quote
How can i do this?

I just want to to a simple thing...Black background...and a polygon shape with another color. What happens everytime is the edges are antialised or look like a gradient. I want crisp edges and I can't seem to do it.
It is possible extract foreground from image if I have: 1) exact image of foreground and 2) exact image - foreground + object on it ---> so that I can get object which has fine--aliased borders?
I want exact object - so I do not want use Background Eraser, it is possible somehow mathematically?
