GIMP :: Making Name Art With Photo Letters?
Dec 12, 2013
I want to make a Christmas present spelling out the last name using individual photos of letters (see below). I would like the finished image to be 16x20, and I am going to upload it and have it printed at a photo developing shop. I'm not sure how to set this up in GIMP.
When I set up my new file, how many pixels should I make the new image, if my desired size is 16x20. I'm not sure how many dpi to use when I convert the inches to pixels. I read that 300 dpi is desired.
I was thinking about making image boxes for each letter in one layer and cutting and pasting each letter into the boxes. Is this possible or do I need to make a new layer for each photo?

I want to know how to resize one of my photos to 190px wide by 147px high? When I do it becomes super blurry and I need it to be crystal clear...am I correct in assuming that it has to be a landscape picture? Are there special sharpening tools that I need to use, etc.?

Is it true that we should avoid making text in Ps cause the letters appear pixelated?What do you think about the about view?

Making early steps in Photoshop, my little sister put a lettering over a photo, worked with filters,etc, and then properly flattened image and saved it as jpg.
All looks nice but she did it on the original instead of working with a copy . As a result , the photo, which is important for the family archive, now has this lettering all over and we don't know how to clean it up.
The letters are semi transparent with no sharp edges, the photo underneath is partly visible.
I 've tried to select letters and do something with filters, but the parts of the photo visible under the letters, are with different texture and colours and and I've achieved nothing - the letters are almost impossible to select properly. Even when selected more or less properly and treated with filters/layer transparency/etc they are still clearly visible, only their colour and saturation changes...
Tried everything within my limited Photoshop skills incl, trying to find any History palette which to use to reverse all lettering done over the photo but History was not saved.
It is a digital photo,so, there is no film to scan and have a clean original...
Could someone with Photoshop skills better than mine, please, tell me how to remove this text from the photo - it is an important part of our family photo archive and I'm desperate to restore it to the original condition.
I have Photoshop 5.5

About a month ago I created a text using some font (font name is irrelevant, as this problem applies to other fonts as well) and then I saved the file, with white background, as png. Today I'm trying to do exact same thing with with exact same font, but somehow letters look different (a little bit). I'm using the same "text antialiasing" setting (hard), obviously same font size, document has same dpi. Month ago letters looked nice, for example "o" was symmetrical, now it isn't and it looks worse, but most important - different.
I haven't changed anything, haven't installed any updates etc. There's a difference, so something must have been changed, but what. I'm using Win7 64-bit and PHOTO-PAINT X6.

I would like to have a stencil out of letters, for example "sea" and then underly a picture of waves, so that the waves are only in the letters.
Do I need a special plug-in. How can I put something into its negative (black/white -> White/black)?

I am using text on a picture and for some weird reason, when I am using the tool to mark up the letters so that the look nice, only some of the letters are effected. I don' t understand it. I have done this before, and this never happened to me before.
I am on debian wheezy, with a standard install.

We bought a JaguarIV plotter for cutting clear bra, but I was thinking that we could also use it to cut vinyl graphics. I have been watching some tutorials about paths and I'm getting quite good at manipulating curves and such. But I don't know if I can output to the plotter from GIMP. I tried just sending it as a print job, which I've heard you can do from Corel and Illustrator, but it didn't work.

So how can I accomplish something like the 'Reckless' text in the picture of the hat below using Gimp?
I already know how to 'text along path' but then the letters are skewed.

In the example, the red text is along the path (dotted red line). Normally the letters would slant too, but is there a way to keep them vertically oriented while doing text-to-path?

using PS 5.0. trying to duplicate is to transform a photo to B&W and then recolor just the subject back to it's original color. I believe I used an eraser to get the color back but am at a loss. It's sort of like what you might see on a TV commercial.

I have a stock photo that I want to use that looks perfect except it is too small for what I wanted to use it for. I managed to aquire the same identicle image, only larger but the colors look totally different. Is there a quick and easy way (plugin or 3rd arty app even?) to make the second image's colors take on the exact same colors as the smaller copy? I really need to spend some time learning color correction, I know, but you'd think there'd be a one click solution for something like this.

I am new to GIMP.
I want to import a photo, trace geometric shapes over the photo like circles and lines, and then remove the photo. I have a very basic understanding of LAYERS. I have viewed a few tutorials. But I don't know how to import a photo or how to get rid of it once I have drawn the geometric shapes over it.

I've been taking and prepping photos of a client's parts. For the most part things have been going fine. I use pen tool for thought - but round or curved - objects and for other objects I have a series of auto actions that clean them up quite nicely and quickly. For example see before and after below of an object I did. Photos were taken with Nikon D70:
I've now run into a really tough one and it's foam. I told my wife to take photos of them with black background so it's more contrasty. But I just can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the black so the result looks "foamy." Evidently, the pen tool just won't work because lines there are two straight. Below is example of photo and I now have about 6 photos similar with more to come. The photo below is reduced version to keep the file size here small:

Any plug-in for making thumbnails from a folder?
I often need to take a CD of images (JPEG /TIFF / PNG etc.) for a website and I need to create thumbnails of each for a web gallery.
Typically I will see between 20 and 50 images at a time and it is very laborious to manually load into photopaint, resize, save-as with a tn_ prefix etc. and I was hoping for a way to automate this.

So let's say I want to use a picture of a coca-cola bottle from an image I found on the internet, or I take a pic of one... what is the best way to cut-it-out?
1) For instance, sometimes, the object is cut out of a white background and I want to use it on a black background... leaves a nasty outline :( - maybe its easier to take a pic of the object on a black background (which is what I usually do - but I don't feel like getting the camera out - besides, I then almost always need to touch up the photo)
and
2) how do I easily smooth the edges if a use the colour wand? before or after cutting out (Copy to clipboard)?

I am trying to make a web photo album in PS CS and am using the automatic feature that's built in. In that feature window, there is an option to add a custom text "tag" to the images to deter copying by others. I type in the text I want and complete everything there, however, when I click OK and make the album, it does not add the "tag"....when the images 'pop' up in PS as it goes through them all and creates the album, you can see that it adds the tag, but when the album is complete, NO TAG

I am using photoshop elements 11 trial version before I buy one. I'm trying the wedding photo album, but I'm having trouble fitting a picture into the picture "slots" for lack of a better term. One picture that I simply want as a full picture is 8.5 x 11, 300 dpi. Photoshop elements will not let me see the entire picture.

there are a lot of plug-ins available to "clean-up" and perfect images...does anyone know if there are any real good filters for making a photo "dirty" ie dust, scrathes, light leaks, grain, distortion,blurring, vignetting, anything like that?

I'm interested in using Photoshop Elements to tag and caption my 11000 photos with details of names and places, but can I commit the changes to the image files so that they are available outside the Elements environment? I don't want to spend a lot of effort and have tags/captions only available within Elements, I want to embed the details in my photo collection.
