View 3 RepliesHow do I quickly separate an image's channels into grayscale layers? I'll need to do this frequently, so is there an automated way? If there isn't, can it be done with python scripting? Would it take me a long time to learn how to write such a script assuming I know a bit of Python (as used in Blender), but haven't done any scripting with GIMP?

I finally closed everything and started over. Same results.
Now what?
I've created a New image and selected Open Layer to bring another image in, however the 'other' Open layer image' appears in the center of the newly opened image space. How can I move the Open layered image around?

For example my sprite is 120x120, so I need to place the 5th animated frame at EXACTLY 120x5=600 pixels from zero or at 600, 0. I can't seem to find a way of doing this in GIMP, it shows me a mouse delta position from where I first clicked?
making this animation make the words move without leaving the old image there.. [URL]....

View 2 Replies View RelatedI make a text logo from a gimp theme, but cannot move it to another seperate gimp file/ image that is open. For example, I have a webdesign template in progress in gimp, but then open a new gimp window/file, get a logo, put the text in. Then, I cant get this image out of the gimp, even if I want to put it in the other window onto the template. Also, I cant get the image out of gimp program, and onto the desktop.

I thought it must be something to do with GIMP accepting input but its not going as of yet.
there's nothing in that dropdown menu for you to select your source image/layer in the Move Path plugin.I am using an XCF (Gimp) file, with many layers. I selected a particular layer, then I opened the Move Path plugin.

I need to save some images with transparency that are in .BMP format, but said images seem to have what's called an alpha channel, which covers all of the image's background and not the transparency that I need. I've tried to use the "Convert color to alpha" option, but it appears that that only works in the image that I want and not in the alpha channel itself (yeah, I didn´t know what alpha channel was until then).
I leave an example of one of the various .BMP files that I want converted to .PNG with transparency.
is there a way to view the RGB channels luminosity only? It seems I have to shut off two channels just to view one, and that one will be colored (red, green, or blue). How can I just view the channel in grayscale? Is this possible? Do I always have to shut two channels off to view one?
Also, I take it there are no adjustment layers in GIMP, correct?
Is there anything that can be done using an alpha channel, that can'tbe done using masks and layers, or vice versa? Context of question: I've worked extensively with masks and layers.I've never worked with alpha channels.For example:
Using an alpha channel:
1. Open two single layer images, A and B, neither one of which has analpha channel.
2. Drag the image B over to A and close B.3. Now image A has two layers, A and B. Put layer A on top, selectlayer A, set the blend mode to Normal, and add an alpha channel.4. Erase part of layer A, where-ever you want layer B to show through.At this point, layer A has an alpha channel with white where you wantlayer A to show, and black where you want layer B to show, but it doesnot have a mask.
OR
Using a layer mask:
1. Open two single layer images, A and B, neither one of which has analpha channel.
2. Drag image B over to A and close B.3. Now image A has two layers, A and B. Put layer A on top, selectlayer A, and set the blend mode to Normal (don't add an alphachannel).
4. Create a solid white mask for layer A. Paint black on the maskwhere you want layer B to show through.At this point, layer A has a mask with white where you want layer A toshow, and black where you want layer B to show., but it does not havean alpha channel.
In both cases, using a mask or using an alpha channel, the net resultis the same.So again, is there anything that can be done using an alpha channel,that can't be done using masks and layers, or vice versa?
I cannot bring up Layers, Channels, or Paths. Running Gimp 2.6.10 on a Windows 7 machine. Selecting Windows...Dockable Dialogs...Layers or Channels or Paths does not bring up a new dialog window. Also there is nothing in Windows...Recently Closed Docs
This occurs regardless of image file opened. Not sure how long this has been the situation as I have not been using gimp on the computer where this problem is occurring for a couple months. Am not an advanced user though have used it occasionally for years. All other Selecting Windows...Dockable Dialogs... actions bring up window boxes normally. Tab does toggle display for the Toolbox etc. Just Layers, Channels, or Paths have an issue and I suspect it may have occurred because they were sharing the same window box. I did reset Preferences.
I am able to readily create layers on top of a base image but without the dialog box, only have access to the last one created. Also can merge down the last new layer or flatten the image. My suspicion is gimp may be displaying the dialog box at XY coordinates beyond my monitor screen displayable coordinates. There is a configuration file that saves the last used settings that I can simply delete?
How do you get the 'Layers, Chanells and Paths' tool bar to appear. I am running Xubuntu 12.04, Gimp 2.6.12 and it does not appear. Can not upgrade to 2.8 because Ubuntu Software Center does not have it. I need this sub-window to wotk with test-along path.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have three different pictures in separate files, and I want to overlay them as red, green and blue channels in a new file. (the images represent the different color channels obtained from fluorescence microscopy, and I just want them back in one picture).
I guess it´s pretty easy, but I don´t manage to get all 3 pictures into 1 as 3 separate channels.
Basically, I am trying to use an alpha layer/channel to export a picture that is transparent except for a grass clump that is colored green over the alpha layer. So the picture looks like a solid green rectangle, but is actually a green blade of grass.
Problem is, I cannot get the alpha layer to work. I can't follow the tutorial as it is in photoshop, and random videos on-line haven't worked.

Is there a preference in GIMP to display color channels in grayscale? Rather I should ask, has this issue been resolved because I know at one time it was a big difference between PS and the GIMP. And yes, I know that I can decompose and recompose...

I use photoshop cs3 extended.
I am using png and tga image formats
When using an alpha channel, you can set the alpha to absolutely transparent. However, when you do and save the image it removes the other channel information on the rgb channels. This is problematic because I have to use a 1 transparency value to retain my rgb channels. This causes issues as I need the full alpha but also the texture information.
This is for texture work on a game and the engine uses the alpha channel for a team color overlay on top of the rgb image. So I need all 4 channels rgb for texture, and the alpha is a team color overlay.
The Layers, Channels, Paths Dialog Window doesn't appear on my screen. Have tried everything I can think of.

I’ve posted one of the pictures here, including a screen shot of the Info pallet while the cursor is over an area of the image. As you can see, there isn’t any info for the yellow or black channels.
My question is – is there any hope for restoring the proper color to these images? I‘ve played around a bit with Curves, Hue & saturation, etc. - but getting natural color has eluded me. [URL]
I've croppsed and resized an image
I try to put text over it and then move that text
I just can't move the text
Instead the image layer moves
What are they used for? I have been using PS for around 3 years primarly for web design and I have never used channels outside of loading a selection. I searched for more info; I mostly got tutorials that use alpha channels, but no real explanation as to what they primarly do.
