I've created my business card using gimp a few times. I usually us Vista Print to print it. The picture resolution is at 300 but when I get the printed image it has a little blur around the wording (that's the best way I can describe it). It's not a clear print. What do I need to do to have a more clear image to print? When I see the image on my computer it's crystal clear... I just wish it would print that way.

I have a photo and I would like to blur the bottom of the image while leaving the top of the image sharp, similar to limiting the depth of field by using a large f-stop. I created a gradient mask and then used Filters > Blur but it is not working. If I choose the layer that I created the mask on and choose blur, nothing happens. If I choose the layer (background) under the mask then the whole image blurs.

I would like to "trim" or "cut" around an object in an image and have a "cloud" or "blur" around the edge. I have included a link below with an example of what i am trying to accomplish from an ebay listing. If this is possible with gimp, if not with what other program?

I need to know how to blur smoothly. Whenever I try It comes out really badly and the edges of the blur area look to newbish. What I want is a blur line with a smooth edge -
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was using the Gaussian Blur around letters to contrast the background and getting a very wide radius with a very gradual but complete shift in intensity from the edge of the blur to the edge of the letters. That is to say, the blur effect would extend all the way out to the Blur radius fading to nothing and the brightest part of the blur was very near the edge of the letters and not far inside the middle of a letter. That was great!!! Exactly what I wanted!
Then I went to do it again and got the default behavior:
No matter how wide I set the radius in the Gaussian Blur it is still the same width, it is just more faded. And the range of the intensity is dramatically reduced, with the brightest part of the blur far inside the edges of the letters, no matter how much I grow the Alpha to Selection of the letters. Now I am very unhappy.
I tried Reset all Filters, but the 2nd behavior is obviously the default. So how did I do that??? How did I get the 1st behavior? How did I get the Gaussian Blur to extend out so much farther without overwhelming the background? The default behavior of a Gaussian Blur of an Alpha to Selection of letters that are substantially grown is that they completely overwhelms the background and there is hardly any gradient, it is just a uniform halo with little change in intensity.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I scale an image without the image resulting to blurry edges?
What I want to do is simply scale my image in the same way when I zoom in it. Pixelation is not a problem.
The blur tool does not seem to be working like I thought it would work. I am using version 2.8.4.
When blurring a section of a digital painting or photo, it goes to a certain point and then does not seem to blur anymore regardless of how much I keep painting over the area with the tool.
When I apply a gaussian blur filter to the entire image, I can get much more blur to occur by choosing a large blur radius.
I would think my continuous painting with the blur tool would be the same as choosing larger fill radii in the gaussian blur filter. But, as I said the tool stops blurring anymore after a few strokes over an area.
I have tried changing all the different settings - Rate=100, Opacity=100, change the size and style of brush, etc.
I have a created a workaround for the problem by doing something similar to the trick for sharpening that is mentioned in the Blur Tool documentation:
-Duplicate the image layer a few times.
-Go to the duplicate layers and apply different levels of blur.
-Choose the Clone Tool.
-Select 'Image' and 'Registered' from the Clone Tool's control window.
-Activate the Clone Tool on the layer that has the amount of blur desired.
-Switch to the original layer and begin painting the blur with Opacity set to about 60 and use brush dynamics where pressure controls opacity.
This seems to work okay. But, it is a lot of extra steps to get the blur to go further than the Blur Tool allows.
It would be nice to have a blur radius setting in the Blur Tool's control window. Could that work?
My predicament: Sharp eagle in a noisy clear blue sky. Is it possible to free select around the eagle and apply the selective gaussian blur to just the sky in one step? As it stands I am only able to blur just the sky if I select it in two less than precise sections.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had trouble creating a certain type of motion blur effect. Typically, motion blur radiates outward from one single point. However, What I would like is for a whole section of an image to be clear (for instance, a character's torso) and then have the image GRADUALLY get blurrier from there.
I cannot figure a way to do this (apart from a very long process of creating many duplicate layers and doing an independent motion blur for each one).
Attached is an example of what my attempts look like right now: an obvious line around the region that I'm trying to showcase, rather than a smooth, gradual transition into the motion blur.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some random curves (already created) and I want to blur them just from one side to have the same blur distance and effect one the whole curve.
To more precisely describe what I need, I need to create gradient with direction of normal for every "point". The best example I have found so far are borders in Civilization IV game. Here are two examples:

As you can see, there is a solid curve, which gradually blends (i.e. alpha channel is lowered) till the gradient disappears. I have the solid curve and the question is, what would be the simplest way how to do this (the number of curves is around 100) gradient.
I just got PSE CS6 and the blur too will NOT work ....blur filters work, but not BLUR in the tools panel I have tried: unintstall/reinstall, updating, using it no a picture straight after opening it, duplicate layers, selecting an area and then blurring....flattening an image, every single different setting in the the blur tools menu bar NOTHING works. And everything I find about blur is the new blur filters....

View 4 Replies View RelatedI take photographs that need the top and bottom center point pulled in to straighten out for image distortion (looks like a bow tie when I'm done). I'm aware that it will interpolate if I expand the image so I have always contracted rather than pull the four corners out beyond the canvas edges. There is a noticeable blur or softening of the image that happens. Does anyone know of a way to cure or minimize this?

I tried different functions like Refine Edge, feather, etc - all to no avail. I was working in PSD.
