I want to know how to insert a customized/colorful font like the one seen in the attached picture (Darknet). How do I do this with a generic stock image using GIMP? I want to create titles for my books using fonts that are relevant to the book title.
Lets say I want to use a woman's face/body from one stock photo image and transplant it into another stock image (just the face/body even though there are other elements in the background.
Is this possible with Gimp? What I want to do is combine the two. For instance, a picture of a galaxy of stars and then paste the image of the woman onto it.
I have uploaded two images to gimp and have made minor changes to parts of each image (erased). Now I want to combine those changed parts in one image. How do I do that?
I am trying to combine these two images (I want to keep the very top of the first image but I like the second image better...there is just not enough of her hand). How would I be able to accomplish this while also getting the perspectives to match up? I can get the hand looking ok, but then the rest of the image is funky because nothing else matches.
I'm a new user of GIMP. I have scanned a line plan that I need to modify in a series of multiple scans (plan is too large to scan in one image) and I need to recombine the multiple files back into one seamless image.
I have just started working with GIMP, after years of using Photoshop, which I can't afford anymore. Most of the tools don't look that different from what I was used to in PS, but I ran into a problem right away: I don't seem to be able to cut an image and then paste the cut image as a new layer on top of another image. I creates a new layer alright, but I don't see the image I want to copy.
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.
I have been using Gimp for a lot of "tile based" images, which feature layers composed of several "tiles" pasted into those layers. However, I just recently started creating transparent tiles, and pasting them.
One of the strangest things I have run into here is that I don't seem to be able to move my selection ( Floating Layer? ) if the opacity on the source pixels is 0.25 or less. Specifically, I do not get the usual "drag box" when I hover over the transparent pixels. Instead, I get the "anchor box" ( which seems to crop the pasted area before anchoring ). I tried this on a composite image with some more transparent pixels ( 0.25 ) and some more opaque pixels ( 0.26 ), and the "drag box" appears only over the more opaque pixels.
Why this might be happening? It could be that this is just context-sensitive cursor behavior which varies on transparency, and if so, is there another way to move the pasted selection?
never knew there has a font folder in the user profile for Gimp until I wiped my user profile and moved all patterns, gradients, brushes, etc I have been putting in the program folder to the user profile folder because I read on here that it is better to keep all that stuff in the user profile folder of Gimp... my question is, what is the difference between installing your fonts into the system and placing them into the fonts folder in Gimp (besides all programs being able to use them)?? I've been installing all my fonts into the system I wanna use in Gimp... is it better to use the font folder in the Gimp user profile or to install them into the system?
how to get Gimp to only showfonts from the user/fonts file rather than the vast amount of system fonts.
I think you should read the original mail again. Hint: "system fonts not shown" is not the problem, but the desired outcome.I have accidentally read a "not" into the original mail, thus it became "to get Gimp to *not* only show fonts from the user/fonts file"
The configuration to check is the fonconfig settings then, for example the the global, system-wide fonts.conf file. It may contain references to the global font directories, for example /usr/share/fonts/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. URL....
If you comment those out, then you can (and have to) add all font directories in GIMP's settings, for example.
I want to drag a watermark onto an image and resize it and record the process as an action. I can't seem to make that work. Is it possible? Is there a tutorial somewhere that explains the process?
When I have made 5 HDR RAW pictures and want to combine them within CS6, the program Photoshop stops working. Why is this happening? What am I doing wrong? I juist follow the instructions of the book.
I am a molecular biologist trying to use either photoshop or illustrator to label data (I have both programs, 1 may be better than the other for what I need, but I am not sure). The data I want to label are essentially pictures, of varying size, with a resolution of 50pixel/cm (around 127ppi).
The best analogy of the transformations of my data would be a picture of some random object taken next to a ruler. I need to label the ruler, then remove the actual ruler and just leave the labels. I have several of these pictures, and I label them like this individually.
I'm trying to create images of pairs of cards from png images of a deck of playing cards, basically I would like to combine two cards into a single image, i.e. have the A clubs with the King clubs for AcKc (attached), I would like to do this for all starting hands if you're familiar with poker (AA,KK..72 etc)
Lastly, I would like to change the color of the diamonds and clubs suits from red to blue and black to green respectively, without affecting the black border.

I'm a PS newbie, and I've been trying to copy a selection from one image and paste it in another. This normally works perfectly, but I've been having real problems with one image. Whenever I copy something onto it (with most pics, at least; haven't tried them all) the copied selection loses all colour and texture and becomes an apparently random selection of white and black pixels.
Is there a setting somewhere that I should change? Are the images just incompatible? Please help.
Here's an example screenshot. Request any further information you want and I'll try to provide it.
Edit: In case you couldn't tell, I'm trying to copy the stick on the right onto the witch.
lets say there is this image, and I want to make a selection. That selection, I want to quicky turn into a new image. So, the way I did it was:
1. Press S. 2. Drag Selection. 3. Press CTRL+C. 4. Goto FILE > NEW 5. Create 1x1 image. 6. With new image selected, press CTRL+V to paste it into image (auto fits)
(CTRL+V would "PASTE AS NEW IMAGE") Which worked perfect. And in PSP CTRL+E would "PASTE INTO CURRENT IMAGE / SELECTION", which seems to be the current CTRL+V function for PS.
Am I taking too many steps here? Is there a way to do this more like the PSP way?
Another short example, I had text that I wanted to manually adjust the kerning. I had to:
1. Press L (for Lasso) 2. Dragg Selection 3. Instead of the Click-Holding inside this new selection to move the contents over, PS moves the SELECTION over. I tried ALT, CTRL and SHIFT variants but they don't move the selection's contents like I'd want. So I press M (for Move). 4. Move the item. 5. Goto Step 1 for each of the letters I want to move.
i have photshop cs and when i paste a picture into photoshop from my "my pictures" folder after selecting parts of the image with the magnetic lasso, it pastes fine. mind you, its in jpeg form, because its pictures i myself took with my digital camera. ok, thats not a problem. but when i go into another folder that has pictures on my computer, use the magnetic lasso to take part of the image and paste it once again on a blank new canvas---THE IMAGES PASTE LIKE 25% OF THE ORIGINAL SIZE!! it only does this with this one particular folder. i like making collages of my pics, so i open up a custom, 8x10 new blank canvas, and when i print, it always comes up super small when pasted. i try resizing the images, but they are pixelated, so it looks blurry the bigger i make it. how can i paste images in accordance with their original size and stop getting these super small midget sizes of my image?
Using guides, I can create slices of multiple rectangles intersecting each other. For a web, I may have one picture on the top and multiple items below. If I use guides, the top picture gets cut into multiple pieces. Is there a way to merge them back into one piece? I probably can create a new guide on with only the top, but it's an extra step and the HTMLs from 2 attempts are not compatible with each other.
How do you combine 2 pictures to make it appear that an item is being held in the hand/hands so that the fingers actually appear in front of the item I choose to place in said hands?
When I copy and paste an image from Word .docx files they comr in blurry. I have a client who sends me drawing images that have been scanned and pasted into word .docx files. In Word the images are of high resolution, crisp and easy to read. When I copy the images and paste them into AutoCAD 2013 they are quite blurry and almost un-readable. Any way to retain the image resolution
I have tried many so called batch plug ins and am now convinced that Gimp plugins are the new "Rick Roll" because not one has ever done anything or even been recognized by the main Gimp program.
I know there has to be a way to just select one transparent png file and paste it onto every jpg in a directory automatically. This of course assumes that all files involved are the same size and shape.
