GIMP :: How To Use Bevel And Emboss Layer Effect On Image Copied From Another Image
Jul 19, 2013I'm running Gimp 2.8.4 on Ubuntu 13.04 Linux (64-bit) and I'm trying touse the "Bevel and Emboss" layer effect on an image which I copied fromanother image. Here is what I've done:
1. Loaded image 'A' into Gimp
2. Selected a portion of it
3. Used "/Edit/Copy" to copy the selection
4. Used "/Edit/Paste As/New image" to create a new image from the selection
5. In the new window for the new image, "/FX-Foundry/Layer effects/Bevel and Emboss"
6. When the "Bevel and Emboss" window opens, I accept the defaults and click "Ok"
The filter starts to run and then stops with an error message. Here is the message I get:
------------ START ------------------
Bevel and Emboss Message
Error while executing script-fu-layer-effects-bevel-and-emboss:
Error: ( : 1) Procedure execution of gimp-selection-layer-alpha failed on invalid input arguments: Item 'Pasted Layer copy' (87) cannot be used because it has not been added to an image

GIMP :: Emboss Grayed Out?
Nov 11, 2012Something strange here, just working on an image idea, thought to try 'Distorts / Emboss' only to find that the function is greyed out. Haven't a clue what to do about it.
I have re-installed gimp and done a reboot with no change so I am stuck.

GIMP :: Separating Image From Background
Jun 15, 2011Tried using this tutorial: [URL].......
trying to separate non-contiguous letters from a background so as to make the background transparent. I've used various methods including the gimp tutorial referenced above, and am having problems both selecting everything I need and with the transparency.
When I use the foreground select tool as in the tutorial, I can select the first line, 1812, but not the next two. Color values off some? Anyway, after successfully selecting at least the 1812 part, I do the next steps: invert the selection, add alpha channel, del background; and end up with a transparent background and a 'kind of' transparent 1812. If I try to save it as a png and open it in any other program it's just empty or black.
GIMP :: Extending Background In Image?
Nov 11, 2011I have an image that I want to extend the background on. So basically, I am making the people smaller, but the background larger..if that makes sense? I'm trying to make a collage, and i want the background of one photo to be the background of my canvas. The background it just "grey-ish", but not solid. I know I could clone, or copy and paste a part of the image into the background, but am wondering if there's a way to "stretch" just a portion of the image maybe? Or if I could copy a small part of it, but when I paste it, change the shape or size it's being pasted into?

Jan 24, 2013Before I pass along to you my request, I'd like to point out that I have watched tutorial, after tutorial on how to remove an image from a background. Every thing goes great, "step by step", (my project compared to tutorial) right to the final procedure. Then my image either turns "white/black", or disappears (lets just say the project does not pan out compared to tutorials).But everything is "fine", right up to final phase. How to do the following....
1. Extract an image from a background (any kind) of background.
2. Instruct me how to take the extracted image, and "save" it to file, to use it in "another" project, at a later time.
3. How to take an image (for instance, a large hole in a tree) and take another image, and place it in there. Inside this hole in the tree, I want to take an image, and "blend" it into the hole in the tree. Another wards,I don't want to just place a vivid "sharp" image into the hole in the tree, I want a " halo/gradual fade out from tree, to a gradual fade in to object placed in tree. I hope you understand my description. Basically, going from a sharp vivid image, to a gradual blending of another image in hole of tree.
GIMP :: Paste Image Into Background
Dec 13, 2013What is the best way to paste an image into a background and have it blend nicely with the background to avoid jaggies.
I've been playing with the blur and smudge icon but then it depends on my eye and I lose resolution around the edges. I guess what I would want ideally is for a way to paste my image then have a slider or a way to select the amount of anti aliasing from image to background.
GIMP :: Adapting Image To New Background
Mar 21, 2013I have a set of window buttons in XPM format whose background I would like to convert to a blueish tone from their current gray. The problem I'm having is that after blending the button images to the intended blue tone they just don't look good at all.
To illustrate my point, here's the original (menu) button with gray background. Size is 12x18.
Then I took the following steps to try to apply the blue background:
- Manually edited the original XPM and removed the background (it's referenced by the '@' char.)
- Opened it in Gimp and created a new layer.
- Moved the new layer down so it acts as the background.
- Applied a fill to background layer using intended blue color (#2d6fb5).
- Set opacity of layer containing the button to 85.
- In Colours->Hue Saturation set Lightness of layer to 100 so it blends better.
This is the result of the above steps:
As you can tell the result doesn't look good at all. Is there any technique I could use to make the buttons blend in to a more visually pleasing way with the blue tone I chose?
PS: Attached original XPM.

Apr 2, 2013how I can get rid of the bluish colour around the tree that I have removed the background from (see attachement). I first invert the image, then go to "Components", choose Monochrome, adjust the image to get the black background, and finally go to "Levels" to increase the dark background. However, when I had the mask and do the rest of the sequence, I keep getting the blue tinge of the sky around the object I have cut out.

Jan 28, 2013Below are listed the "step by step" procedure I'm going through, to isolate an image, "free" of any background. Each and every time, after removing the images original back ground, I'm left with a white back ground. List "process" by process..step by step, to "totally" isolate an image by itself (without any background) "whatsoever"!
I have now removed the background on (2) images. This is the process I go through in "order", and each time, I'm left with a white box in the background of my image.
"First" I load image.
Second I go to "layer"..
"Third" I go to "Transparency"
"Fourth", I click around image I desire to save...clicking on the "starting" point, till the ants start marching.
"Fifth", I click "select", scroll down and click "To Path"
"Sixth" I click on "Select", scroll down and click "Invert"!
Photoshop :: Bevel And Emboss Effect Not Visible In Flattened Image?
Jun 19, 2013I created a file in .psd, with several text layers to which I applied effects (fx) such as stroke, bevel & emboss, outer glow. When I flatten the image, the outer glow and stroke remain, but the bevel & emboss effect is gone. Type is a single color without the 3 dimensional effect.
I am also not able to preserve the bevel & emboss look when saving as a jpeg or a flattened .tif or .pdf. A saved .tif or .pdf with layers shows the effect just fine, but if the pdf is opened with Acrobat instead of Photoshop, the effect is not visible.
This must be a new problem, because I found a file that I created several years ago that is a flattened .tif with the bevel & emboss effect preserved.
I tried rasterizing the layer, and the type. Tried converting to 16 bit changing mode to CMYK, and multi-channel. Everything that involved merging layers lost the bevel & emboss effect.
GIMP :: How To Continue Removing Background On The Image
Feb 21, 2013I am removing the background on a detailed object(s). I removed the initial part..the ants started marching. Then I pushed "control click", and started on another section..the ants started marching on that piece. Then I moved to my 3rd section doing the same. But when you click your final at your beginning on your 3rd section, the ants start marching there also..but you lose the sections you did previously. So I went to "undo", clicked that, and got my previous sections "back".
But my question is..how can I continue taking out the background in this picture...there are a lot of openings between arms and bodies etc., where I need to remove the background. I've tried removing the background on a detailed image one time before, and the same thing happened. Gimp will only allow you to remove so much, and if you try to remove more, it cancels out what you previously tried to remove...how can I continue removing the background on his image, being the image already has an alpha channel over it. If you try to continue after saving the present image to path/invert...you will lose the image your trying to save in the second process.
GIMP :: Continuous Motion GIF From One Background Image
Oct 11, 2013The concept is easy, you have a picture of a supercell thunderstorm, and the goal is to get the supercell to rotate in the animation and make it look like its continuous motion. Something that doesn't restart from the beginning. It basically looks like the storm is rotating and continuing to rotate without restarting.
I have an example, not sure who the author is, so I haven't been able to contact him/her. I am hoping this is something you can do with a script or at least have a step by step instructions to replicate.

Jun 2, 2011I have a stock photo of a white and yellow flower isolated on black and when I add an alpha channel and use 'color to alpha' to remove the black background it creates some transparency in the image too.
I understand that this is because it is taking the black out of the flower too but I thought the point of isolating an image was so that the background can be removed.....which leads me to believe that there must be another way of doing this?
