GIMP :: Photo Protection - Transparent Foreground (2012)
Dec 17, 2012
I have heard you can protect your photographs on the web by applying a transparent overlay to them. When someone then right clicks and saves the image, all they get is the transparent foreground and not the photo underneath. I have tried to do this using GIMP. However, the web guidance I have seen says you also have to edit the HTML code to do this. Is there a way of doing this from GIMP itself without involving HTML code?

Basically, I am working on this pause screen pic from Mass Effect 3. I am trying to turn it into a good background for my phone. I'm trying to do a number of things with it, some of which are proving easier than others. The most difficult thing I want to do is remove all the buttons from the right hand side, so there are five buttons on the left and just background on the right.
How would be best to go about this? I have tried selecting individual sections and painting over them with a gradient fill, and I've tried using an automatic resynthesizer plugin using a selected texture, but neither have yielded good results. The former becomes obvious due to its uniformity when done in large doses and the latter just comes out all wrong.

I'm just wondering if there is a way to make something in the foreground so that you can see the background whatever it may be.
How I tried to do this was created a file with a transparent background and then added a new layer with 30% opacity and then typed the text I wanted you to be able to see through, but when I save it as a png it just makes the background white and as a gif it makes the entire image transparent so the text doesn't show up at all.

how to make the foreground color transparent for the life of me. In illustrator it is as simple as clicking a premade swatch that is transparent (other than that I dont know how to set it there either.) I mainly want it because I am trying to use the pen tool but a color keeps filling in between the lines.

I was working with gradients and all was fine, then once more I attempted to use foreground to transparent it would not work.
I deleted the preference file, restarted PSE, restarted my machine - still doesn't work although foreground to background works.

I've been printing out a lot of black and white photos on photopaper on a HP Photosmart 7510e.
The printouts are very dark so I've had to boost the brightness levelsin GIMP prior to printing. The problem is that this takes extra timeand I also don't want to save these levels in the XCF file. I would say that (going by the Gamma Display Filter) the printouts are around40% of the brightness they ought to be.

In CS5 you could move an open photo window by click and hold and move the window to wherever you wanted without Photoshop being the active app in the forground. In CS6 you can no longer do this. You first have to click the photo/window which will bring Photoshop to the forground, then you have to click and hold again to be able to move the photo to wherever you want.
Is this a bug or a feature in CS6?
If it's a new feature or the way it's suppose to work, I vote to make it like it worked in CS5....this is not progress! Mac Pro running 10.7.

This tool lets you extract foreground from the active layer, using the SIOX method. To create a selection, set roughly foreground you want to extract. Select as little of the background as possible. As soon as you're finished (the selection is closed) the rest of the image goes dark. Now draw the line trough the foreground, going through all colours that will be used for extraction. Then after releasing the mouse-button, only the actual foreground is selected.

I would like to know how to change the colour of a single layered, single coloured gradient (foreground to transparent) image. There is nothing more to it than that other than I don't want to use the hue/saturation adjustment as it's hard to get a specific colour.

Recently upgraded to GIMP 2.8.6 and trying to select foreground item to use on different layer. Not working as I expected. Viewed demo on YouTube which indicated the last step or two would create a new layer and paste selected foreground on it.
When I attempt use the lasso tool, go over foreground with big brush and hit Enter, the foreground is selected but there is no new layer. I tried with no Alpha channel and tried making one before starting Foreground Selection Tool. Neither way seems to work. Am I wrong in understanding how the tool works, or am I leaving something out? Do I need to download a third-party Foreground Selection Tool? The video on YouTube is two years old but it seems to be talking about a "new" feature in GIMP.

I can crop images, resize, and do a few other things but that is about the extent of my skills.
I am currently attempting to theme some images in an Android ROM but I'm not able to change the colors the way I want. Essentially I have a bunch of images with transparent backgrounds and white in the foreground. I simply want to swap out the white for another color (red, green, blue, whatever).
I have attached a sample image that I am working on. How on earth do I change the white to red (FF0000) for example? I tried using the select by color tool and clicking in the white area. Then I changed the foreground color to FF0000 and tried to paint into it. It doesn't seem to do anything but paint more white?
Some options were completely disabled for my image. For example, I went to Colors > Map and found that both Color Exchange and Rotate Colors are disabled. Why?
P.S. I have roughly 200 images that I need to perform this action on (and I may even do this with multiple colors -- create a blue set, a red set, etc.) so if there is some way to automate this process I would love to know. I'm a software developer and run Linux so I typically just write bash scripts for tedious tasks such as these. I know there is script-fu in gimp but I'm not familiar with it. Can I just call gimp within a bash loop and pass it some option to do this color change and save the new image for me?

I have been trying to change the background color of the photographs of jewelry I took. It is too grey, and I want to change it to white. Each time I try to do this, it changes the whole picture to white instead of just the background. How I can keep the foreground without losing it, and change the background color.

i am trying to make a blueprint out of 3 view image to be exported to 3ds max for modelling using Gimp 2.8.2.
I want the backgound colour to be a light shade of blue and the foreground colour (the black outlines of the aircraft) to be a dark shade of blue
I have separated each of the views into separate layers, then tried to add 2 new layers (one for the foreground and one for the background) but cannot seem to get the "set foreground/background" function to work. It just goes a shade of black all of the time irrespective of what colour i choose.

I seem to be getting only partial transparency when using Foreground Select Tool (as compared to Full Transparency when using Rectangular Select Tool)
I am pretty sure this was not the case the other day. I have tried resetting all Tool Options and looking through preferences for anything I may have changed but can't spot anything.

I am having a serious problem with gimp on my mackbook pro, running os x mavericks, but the problem also existed in mountain lion.
When any dialog box appears where there is a text box for keyboard input, the keystrokes go to the background gimp main window instead of the foreground dialog box. So it's impossible, for example, to type in a new file name on a save as dialog box. Another example is it's impossible to type in an image width in the scale image dialog box. This is true of all the dialog boxes I've checked.
This makes gimp practically unusable on a mac, and is therefore a serious problem. I know of a workaround that involves typing in data into the mac text editor and pasting it into gimp dialog boxes, but that's ugly and unacceptable.

Then GIMP starts its foreground and background colors aren't black and white anymore.
I would like to know how to reset them back to default values (then program starts).

The question I have is about watermarking/signing photographs. If I want to write my name accross the picture or write "PROOF" accross the picture for the purpose of emailing or showing pictures is writing on the picture with the text tool the only way to do that? What if I have 50 I want to mark? Do I have to select>copy>paste 50 times?

We have lost the use of the two transparent commands 'spe and 'sse. When I either click on the toolbar or type 'spe or '_spe in the middle of a command, they don't work like the other transparent commands. When I click on toolbar by itself, I get an error "Unknown comment "SPE". The other transparent commands say something like "PSE must be called from within another command".
Also, is the actual comment 'spe the command name or is it an alias. I was thinking that if I knew the command name, I could create another allias as a work around.
This is happening on multiple computers.

How I choose a color for any new objects I want to create. I've opened the toolbox with ctrl-b, which appears on the left side of the window. If I want to , for example, draw a red rectangle, I use the rectangular selection tool, then the bucket fill, and I don't see how to change the foreground color to red.
I've read elsewhere in the forum that there should be two rectangles somewhere on the screen that show foreground and background color, but I don't see them anywhere.

I'm a member of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) currently attempting to update a report that provides the user community with recommended symbols for cathodic protection; mainly used in the pipeline industry, but can be for all buried metallic facilities. Does the Autocad community have a generally accepted list of symbols for such?

I keep getting the error message when I try to open this one project. Everyone else is getting the same message when opening it. It doesn't matter if it is a local file or a detached central file the same message comes up and closes Revit.
This is a 2011 Revit Architecture model but also crashes 2012.
