I want to make this same exact BG but using different colors than what is in this (my own colors) gradients won't work as the colors are not completely across the image, they are mixed up a little... doesn't look like a gradient was used in this because of the varyness off the colors that go across... I cannot think of a good way to explain the color layout in this image, but I'd like to know how to make this using colors I want.
I am working on tiny comic-strip frames that are being drawn as seperate images and when it comes to colouring, there is a time-consuming snag where I forget the exact colours of the finished frames which I need to keep checking and seeing earlier single images in order to compare and then reproduce the colours accurately in a consistent sequence.
Believe it or not, I get around this problem by taking digital still camera shots direct off the screen and consulting them afterwards! This does work, but it's hardly practical------is there an easier way to repeat the exact same colors on a separate image, without having to constantly refer to pre-existing images within GIMP? If I can reproduce the exact colours on different images automatically without having to recheck earlier images, this would save me a lot of time!
[Ideally, does every shade of colour have a code number or similar method I can enter and it will come up again accurately? This way, I could write down the shade number and repeat it exactly later on a new image where the exact same colour is required.]
The sheer number of shades of colour and tones make it very difficult to remember the exact colours accurately.
Make a current, parent image, pattern step and repeat at an exact distance from the parent.
I have a parent image 4.75"long X 2.00" high image I want the pattern repeated in the Y direction every 2.10" or with a .10" space between the images, to create a 1XN array or tiles or pattern?
I then want to print the new tiled, array image to the exact size.
Any way to change what colors make up an image. I have a palette of 400+ colors that I'd like the image to be composed of but I can't find a way to convert it to only use those colors. Changing the mode to indexed mode doesn't work since you can only index 256 max colors.
Is there any plug-ins or tools I am missing that can do this? (Basically it will change every pixel in the image to the closest matching pixel from a large [400+ color] palette.
So I am creating this website, and my customer wants a header banner similar to this:
(I don't know if it's clear enough, but there are multiple lines going through the image, with different gradient colors and so on)
Now I can't use this image, since it belongs to another website, but I want to make my own. So, I have no clue about how to make these lines in GIMP. I know GIMP's interface very well (been cropping, coloring for years), but not advanced features like this.
And it's not only the lines, but also the shadowing/coloring in between the lines that I seriously have no clue about how to make.
What is the tool called used for making this? Is there a video tutorial on how to make something similar?
I am taking photo's of jewellery on a white background which shows as anything on a color scale from light blue through to grey. How can I make all my background colors the same shade of white.
I'm a new user of GIMP 2.6.11 for OSX, and I can't figure out how to make photo colors print correctly. My printer is an Epson 2200, driver version 8.37. When I print one of my old photos from Mac Preview, colors come out the same as they did when I used this printer from Photoshop 6 on my old Windows PC. When I print the same image from GIMP on the Mac (using the Print command, not Gutenprint, and selecting photo quality and specifying the right paper, etc), the colors are too far off for a simple CY, MAG, Y level adjustment to get back to what I expect. Under image properties GIMP says the color profile of the image is sRGB IEC61966-2.1, and the image appears the same on my monitor in GIMP as it does in Preview. But it appears GIMP may be using a different color profile for printing than for display. is that possible, and if so, how can I change it?
I have a picture of text (non-latin characters) that is multicolored. Most of the text is black but certain words/letters are purple, red, blue, etc. and I want to get rid of them. The black and white tool works but the previously colored text is now a shade of gray instead of being pure black. I also played with the contrast and brightness but it the text bleeds and becomes unreadable. The background is also pure white.
I am new to AutoCAD and I want to draw something in it, I have taken screen shot of a google map and placed it in AutoCAD, Now I want this map to be scaled proper size, for example I have 880meter x 330meters but placed object is only 20' x 15'.
How can I resize it or how can I make my drawn line to be exact 880meters ? ( I will resize my picture according to my drawn line).
I'm creating a logo for a newspaper ad for an attorney. It would be very easy to create by itself, but the damn dimensions keep changing.
Whenever I try and create a new file W 2.646 " x H 2.895 " it changes W to 2.458 " which I DO NOT WANT and the image cannot be used unless the width is correct.
This is really frustrating and I was wondering if there was ANY way I can turn this dumb thing off. I want EXACT dimensions and it keeps changing it.
I need to create an image to these exact specifications:
542px x 300px at 150 dpi in the GIF format.
I have tried over and over scaling my source (a JPG at 300 dpi) to those exact specifications, but once I export to a GIF, the resulting file is at 72 dpi. I feel like a dummy. Better yet, are those specifications even possible?
I have me riding a giant bird with a transparent background, with the pixel dimensions of 3000x3373 and I have a sky picture with the EXACT same dimensions (3000x3373) that I want to use as a background by rearranging the layers, but when I paste the sky background it pasts onto the bird picture at only <10% of the size of the bird picture EVEN THOUGH both images are the EXACT same dimensions.
Is there any way I can erase the same exact point on multiple layers with one click of the eraser, rather than doing it on each layer individually (and having to line up that same point again)?
How can I find all pixels in an image with an exact, specific color? So far, I've only managed to find the pixels matching a pixel I click on; but I wish to find pixels matching a specific color value!
I have a dark gray triangle alongside a pure white triangle in a square GIF image. I want to convert the white triangle to alpha and leave the dark gray triangle completely opaque. When I use Color --> Color to Alpha, however, I see the checkerboard pattern extend over the gray in addition to the white.
1. Does this mean that the gray is being made translucent?
2. If so, how do I set only one the white to alpha (at 0% opacity) and leave the gray at 100% opacity?
I am using CS2, all I want to do is recreat this photo (or something similar) without the vines & stars.. I've tried to make the colors blend bu using the paint brush then adding blur... however it looks nothing like this when I'm done.
What I want to achieve is have a swatch of the colours/hues of an image. Of course, the number will be limited, but is offers a great starting point to use for painting etc. I remember that .aco files had something to do with it, but even Help can't teach me.
Any ideas are more than welcome!
I rememebr from my Photopaint days that in that app it was only one click on a button, but that in PS it was more complicated.
Is there any way to make multiple objects with various colors set their respective stroke color as their respective fill color and vice versa(so their fill and stroke color will be the same in result)? or do I need a special script for this?
I have many many files earlier scanned using ABBYY Fine reader in colors 300 dpi, but now using any programs I only get the images back as black and white. If I upload to one of their online processors I get it back in colors, all images are nice and colorful.
what i want to be able to do is take several colors and merge them so that it kinda looks like black fading into say blue the back to black again if you look at the background of this website you'll see what i mean [URL]......
How do I keep my GIFs the same colors as I created them? When I import the GIFs into GIMP the colors are changed on some of them. Are there different types of GIF (color resolutions)?
The attached GIF should have a gray border but in GIMP the border is yellow, other colors are changed too. The "PS" letters should be purple-pink but GIMP changes them to black, basically all the colors change.
I am trying to create an animated GIF and the GIFs are imported as layers
I've noticed the problem GIFS have a lower case file extension (.gif) whereas the OK images have an upper case file extension.GIF
It's OK I can simply open the lower case .gifs in MS Paint and then "save_as" which saves them as an UPPERCASE .GIF file extension and then GIMP doesn't change the colors. Problem solved but it is odd that it occurred in the first place. I wonder what was happening?
OH NO... it is still changing the colors. I think I will just do a screen grab and save that as a completely new GIF which stops the colors changing but it is a big hassle because I have about 9 images to change.
NO I STILL CAN'T FIX IT How can I stop GIMP changing the colors of imported GIF layers in a GIF animation?
