I have a wide background image for the top of a site I am working on, which I am attaching. Basically, the original creator of the image faded the gradient from transparent to the background color of the site. The "shape" of the gradient is where I am having trouble. I tried even using the circle selection tool, then doing an inverted selection to force an oval shape, but that is not working great for me either.
View 4 RepliesI've been using a radial gradient on a mask to create a selection, then messing with the selection with various tools, e.g. saturation, blur, contrast. All this on a duplicate of the background layer, of course.
On my most recent attempt, I noticed "rings" in a portion of the finished image. Is the sequence in which I'm using the tools the problem? Should I work on the top layer first, THEN create the selection? Here's a crop from the image:
I have got a logo that is 451 x197. It has a resolution of 72 px. I am trying to increase the resolution so that I can use the image for business cards and letterhead.
I need for the image to have a width of about 2500 pixels. If I scale the image to 2500 pixels the edges look pixelized or blurry.
My question is: Is there a way that I can make the 471 px logo stretch to 2500 px and still have sharp edges?
Is it possible to create a gradient similar to radial gradient, except that the shape is other than circular? This image would be the starting point, but I would like the white part fading to black to be another shape (say, a rectangle, a banana, etc.).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have images that are approximately 5200x2600 pixels. There is slight drop-off on the ends primarily because the lens I use is slightly wide-angle. When I use the radial gradient as an after-the-fact center filter, I can't make it big enough to allow lightening the ends. I have the scale set to 149%, which appears to be the maximum. Even with the Opacity set very low there is a very slight ring of lightness, so to speak, about halfway between the center and the and of the frame.
Is there any way to expand the gradient? Or solve my problem another way?
I have a few photos which I want to add a radial (circular) gradient to. I want them to show the middle portion of the photo (full opacity) and then have them go to zero opacity on the edges in a circular manner (basically fade to white). I have a background layer which is white.
I am sure this is fairly simple, but I can't figure it out....
Imagine a radial gradient that goes from red in the center to transparent. Then cut it in half. Then on the bottom, I need it to go from blue in the center to transparant. Also radial. How do I do this in Illustrator? I want it to look like it's all the same radial gradient... just red on top and blue on the bottom. I've mocked it up in Photoshop below. But I want to know if I can do this in Illustrator.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am using the new Creative Cloud attempt from Adobe. In 6 months, the only consistent documented behavior from photoshop around transparency gradient adjustment layers is to deselect all layers and then select just one layer to use for the failed Photoshop transparency effect.
I have not found any tutorials that I can duplicate on my machine. Either the tools will not appear 99% of time, or when they do 1% of time they do not work as described, work erratically, or do not work at all. I have got the CC Photoshop to perform a linear gradient from layer to black background. That is all CC Photoshop can do consistently for me. For multi-step tutorials, the steps are consistent, but CC Photoshop popups and resutls literally change with each gradient attempt. Freaky application failures. 100% of time CC Photoshop fails, applying the gradient from an object in foreground to a black background.
Layer foreground to black background must be the default. Anything else fails and is highly erratic. It is as if this CC Photoshop is intended as a supplement to whatever they are using in the tutorials. For example, If I had the money for a full Photoshop CS6 box, everything would work fine? CC Photoshop is a total fail on this computer. Adobe telephone support results the same failure. I am always going to get a call back "with a resolution". but the callback never comes, or it comes with the excuse "we are working on this". All I want is a Foreground to Background transparency gradient for a selected layer... ever since the CC beta trial appeared a year ago. For example, how do I create a radial transparency gradient using CC Photoshop?
The template belongs to pank - I actually made it for TP - I only uploaded it on my site until pank decides if he wants to post it on TP or not.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create 1 pixel wide borders for some web buttons. I've tried to use the GIMP path tool to do this but I can't figure out how to get it looking right. See attached image.
1 - copied from a button I found on a web-page. This is what I want - single pixel horizontal and vertical lines with feathering on the curved bits.
2 - path that I used to generate the images on the right.
3 - 'Stroke Path' with 1px brush size & no antialiasing. Corners are not smooth.
4 - 'Stroke Path' with 1px brush size & anti-aliasing. Straight lines are too fuzzy as they are 2 pixel wide rather than 1.
Is there a way to do this with the path tool or any other way with the GIMP?
What I need to do is, take an image, split it into strips about 1/4 inch wide but have them so I can put them back.the actual size of the slices can be varied but each slice has to be the same size across the whole image.

I did see a add in but it was for windows only.
I have an image that is quite small, cropped from a larger image. I want to enlarge it to 317 mm wide keeping it in proportion.
Using the scaling tool I changed to mm and increased width to 317mm this leaves me with a 'window' into the top corner of the image.
I then used 'fit canvas to layers' and the canvas increases in size ok but it is empty (little grey squares) except for the top corner showing the small window into the image!
If I click on it with the resize tool I can see the whole image enlarged but as soon as i click on the 'scale' button it vanishes again and leaves the small window again?
I was working on an image, it was quite big, 7000 px wide, 6000 tall but only 5 quite simple layers, the .xcf is 7.8MB.
All of a sudden after pasting from another .xcf file (which I had just10+ times with no similar result) I moved the pasted part, the image was pretty much finished and I went up to click file>export and everything between "open recent" and "quit" in the file menu was grey.No chance to save or export and it appears half an hour of work lost.It was as if the file menu didn't think I had a file open, but if I scrolled across to the filters menu for example, they were available for selection which they are not when you have no image open. I could edit the image and change layer visibilities and do what I wanted to the image - except save it. I had flash backs to darker days of shareware version of lesser softer titles on proprietary systems. In a moment of frustration I hit the little "x" to resign for the night and it warned me to save before closing.. I hit save as the only option was to overwrite a file I didn't really want to overwrite but I did and then wrote this.

how can I draw a circle with 285 ticks or small dashed lines along the rim U know just like the 360 degree compass.
After that I want to write text following the path of these ticks.In other words radial text so the whole thing would like like rays of text coming off that circle.

I am a new user to Gimp and have gone out and watched many videos regarding how to use the different tools. I have recently been toying with the gradient tool on some text. Everything worked perfectly at first, but recently it seems to not be responding. Here are the steps that I take:
Open a new file with transparent background
Create a text box
Type in the text and adjust the font size and style
Go under layer, transparency, and select alpha to selection
Select gradient, select colors, select Dark Only mode
Drag my line from left to right across the text
When I used this exact technique last week it worked just fine, now, it either does nothing at all or will only respond only if I change mode from Dark Only to Normal.
I have recently discovered that there is more to gradients in GIMP than I had previously thought: the different varieties of pre-sets, as well as the"off-set" tool. How to make a new gradient of your own? Any other cool stuff? (Being able to manipulate gradients would be cool.)
