In gimp I have imported an image. I then duplicate the image four times (I am trying to make four different crops of the same image). But every time I crop one corner of the image, it automatically crops ALL OF THE OTHER DUPLICATES TOO!!!! I have tried just importing the same image four times as individual layers, but that doesn't work either! Why does one layer affect all of them?!
When Rotating or Resizing an image I have recently run into an issue. This is new behavior so I think I either have something set incorrectly, or it came in with a recent re-install.
When Rotating or Resizing, and setting Clipping to Adjust, it always Crops the image.
In other words: If I were to attempt to stretch an image bigger than 1000x1000 to say 1500x1500 it appears to do all the correct calculations, and does stretch the image, but anything outside the original 1000x1000 disappears.
Likewise if I were to attempt to rotate an image that were say, 1000x1500, 90°, I would end up with a rotated image 1000x1000 in size, and transparent/background for the balance of the original 1000x1500 sized image.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling (it remembered all my settings, so I don't know how much good this might have done), setting the Clipping option to Clip, then Crop and back to Adjust again (also with no result).
When I create a document on CD x6, I make it look just like I want it (some background showing around edges, under main content), but when I export it to an image file, it always crops it to the smallest possible size. Why is this, and how can I fix it?
See images below... 1st is what it looks like in CD, and 2nd is the exported image
In LR 4, I have created a virtual copy for the purpose of cropping, but when I crop it in Develop, the original image is getting cropped as well. Have I misunderstood something?
I have made- 1 image with a black line on white background saved as xcf- 1 image with a black letter "A" on white background saved as xcfBoth images are rectangulars. I scaled the height of both images to the same value.
Output should be 1 image - with white background:
- one rectangular consisting of the old 2 rectangulars- area is the sum of the area of the 2 old rectangulars- on left side the "line" image - on right side the "A" image - new image can be saved as xcf
Looking for answer in simply consecutive row of commands like:
GIMP > file > open file: image with line > right click on image > image > scale image > ...GIMP > file > open file: image with letter > ...
How do I make an image match the colors of a cloud, like in this attachment?
Right before putting the image in a normal cloud picture, what's the easiest way to select the part of the image I want in the cloud and have it fade out all around the image like it does in this example? Is there a much better way than the Fuzzy Select Tool option?
I wanted to create transparent icon.i created it and i can see black&ash rectangles around the image, this confirm that as a transparent image.But after exporting it to jpg or png White color background is coming when i see it in photo viewer.
How to avoid that white background, am i doing a correct method?
I have gimp 2.8 and am taking a class on gimp. I need to use an image to make text and it doesn't work.
I have followed steps from Google searched tutorials and I can do all the steps but the end result is I still paste a black font. (I tried opening gimp tutorials and it took me to a page to link to the tuts but wouldn't open? So i went to Google.
I have followed a variety of step lessons - some that are easy and some that go on forever. None work. The easiest steps were .. open an image / select tool font / click on image / type text / resize to how I want it to look / move it to where i want text to be over image / click on text layer / right click / drop menu choose "alpha to selection" = text letters become selected (at this stage I can fill with a pattern etc and that works so I know I have a selection) Edit/ copy / open new file / edit / paste / and the text should be written with the image as the letters BUT I just get the text in black.
What am i doing wrong or does this feature not work in 2.8.
Many years ago I made a transparent 3D logo in PSP, I do not have PSP anymore I have gimp, and I want to do the same thing. But I want to make a logo that I can put on any image, a stand-alone png.
I was wondering if there was a fairly simple and straightforward way to make an image's background transparent (for example, a transparent .gif) without using layers. Similar to some apps that have an eyedropper tool used to create transparencies.
I have a single image which I want to print 6 to a sheet. Basically 3 rows and 2 columns. I was told in one step how to do this and have forgotten. All i had to do was enter the percentage 200 x 300. Just don't remember which function did this.
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 do not mean "how do i use the scale tool?!" I have an xcf file that is 925X250 and it needs to be 925X450. If cropping removes specified parts of an image, how to I make it bigger, like in paint where you can just drag the edges out or go to image properties.
Referring to the image attached, this is my question: I want to make all the blue and red in the image of one plain shade. You can see that in the image there are couple of patches of red and blue color separated by while lines. Now inside one of these colored patches (which is isolated form another patch by a combination of above mentioned white lines and the boundary of the image itself), the color is either red or blue. This color does not look uniform because this image is a scan of a painting. Hence, although the entire patch is red/blue, not every pixel in that patch is of the same shade. If I wanted to change everything inside one such region to a plain red or blue color, how can I do that? If such is the case then I will try to articulate it better. Find attached, the image.
New to GIMP! How to make an image ready for like a bucket or fill function. I am making a coloring book app so, I needed to make my images transparent PNG's so that the fill and drawing function are usable on them. I have made it transparent and added an alpha channel so I am able to draw on it, but fill it not so much.
I am trying to make my image fade to black on one side. I have read the blend tool tutorial in the user manual but all I can get to hap pen is a black and white gradient completely covering my image. I have tried adding a transparent layer over the image and applying the gradient to it but for some reason when one side of the image (using the linear mode) starts to get darker, the other side gets lighter, creating a severely distorted contrast with the image, plus the fade covers an entire half of the image.
If I the image map I use for my website.....could have copyable text.
For instance.... here is a link to a page on my website...the whole body of the webpage is a png image that I made using gimp and the image map option. The problem is that the text is not copyable...since it is part of the image. Is there a way to keep the format as it is, but make the test copyable as if it were a website made by the regular, HTML programming way?
I want to join 2 images together to make a bigger image, the easiest way to explain it is, say 1 image is 10cm x 5cm and the other is 18cm X 7cm and I want to put both together to make a new image 14cm X 10cm. They need resizing too.
