I have a picture of a planet, what I want to do is put a raised icon on top of the planet picture. I want the image to be transparent, so it'd basically just raise the section of the planet corresponding with where I put the second image.
The best thing I can think of is almost like mountains or a continent whose outline based on an icon I have as a separate image.
I like the 3D Tool but is it possible to use the 3D tool to raise the nontransparent part of an imported image while leaving the transparent part flat?

What I want to do is lengthen the video and to lower the tone/pitch with it (from 25 fps PAL to 23.976 fps NTSC, pull-down style).
Is there an easy way to raise an entire site by 1.0 foot and have the grading hit the previous targeted surface? The only way I have found is to grab all the feature lines and raise them up by the required amount, but by doing that, the grading bogs down my system and it crashes, plus, I have grading attached to 3dpoly's and not necessarily all feature lines.

Goal is to create (modify) a solid and export as .STL for a 3D printer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using acad 2010. I have the ability to draw a 3d polyline on the screen with a different xyz value for each vertex using a digitizing puck. I need a lisp routine that will allow me to adjust the z value only (not the x and y values) on any 3d polyline. I just need to raise or lower the z value at any vertex and repeat if nessasary but I don't want to type it in, I want to raise/lower the z using digitizing puck (with z wheel)....example: I draw a 3d polyline which has 9 vertices with different elevations - vertex #6 is 22.6 (too high) in the z value so I need to drop it to 22.4 without typing it in. Vertex #8 is 12.2 (too low) so I need to raise the z to 12.6 without typing it in and using the z wheel on my digitizing puck. Others have tried and but this is a bit complicated and I may have not expressed it correctly.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am making a video in Nero Vision 10 and need to cut out the screen of a tv so that I can layer the TV over an image/video so it looks as though it is on the screen. I enclose a screenshot of the project. 'Transform-tools-crop' only cuts in straight lines so I wonder which device I should use which can cut out an odd bespoke shape? You can see in the uploaded image from the project how the image currently cannot fill the frame without covering it.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a PNG image with only one layer as a start point. It has a faded map on it.
I have a second PNG image with a hex grid on it. I do colour to Alpha to establish transparency on the hex grid for white filled hexes (others are not filled with white).
Now, I wish to overlay a portion of the first image with the faded map with the non-transparent part of the second image.
So I select by colour (for the hexes not filled with white) on the second image (the overlay) and I then paste to the first image (after creating a transparency layer and selecting it to receive the overlay).
I see the desired overlay section (minus any transparent stuff as expected), however it is centered over the map in the first image, not where I want it to be. It is a floating selection and must be anchored. So I select the anchor icon in the layer dialog and I think I anchor it into the transparency layer on the first image (that's what I'm trying to do anyway).
And then my problem:
I want to move the thing I just pasted in to the right place with respect to the underlying faded map. I attempt to use the move tool, but all I move is the background map (pretty much the opposite of what I want).
Nothing I do seems to let me reselect the pasted-in overlay so that I can move it.
Why I can't ever reposition the pasted in overlay? It should be in the transparency layer I created but even if I select all, I don't seem to be able to move anything other than the background image.
I'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

I have been using gimp now for about 2 months and have just upgraded my OS to Mavericks and upgraded Gimp to 2.8.8.
Upon doing this I seem to have lost the ability to copy/cut an image or part thereof from one open image into another... Example:
I have an image window open with a picture a car and I have an image window open with a race track back ground.
I want to copy the car from image 1 into image 2, but for some reason I cannot do this function anymore. When attempting it, once the item is copies to the clipboard and I then swap to the second image, when I paste as a new layer it pastes the clipboard from that image and not the image from the first window...

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe problem is that if one has defined a selected area in an image, using either selection by color or contiguous selection using the 'magic wand' facility, is possible to copy this selection to the Image Map facility of the image, so as to automatically define a set of coordinates as a polygon that can be used for link purposes? Perhaps there is some interim step that is required, or perhaps a special script is required?

how to copy image 2 into image ?
i was wondering if it would be possible to get a plugin or maybe there's a way to do this that would 'blend' the border of one image that you paste on top of another, larger image. so that the borders wont contrast - like a black dot on a white page.
if that description doesn't make sense, imagine using such a tool on a a black dot on a white page. it would make the outer part of the circle transition from black, to dark grey, to a lighter grey, and then to white...

View 2 Replies View Relatedi am trying to use it to design button badges on my new laptop. I have photoshop on my old laptop and have lots of psd files that I have been trying to use with GIMP.
I am finding that GIMP is shrinking my images when I import them to different images and when I come to print them on A4 they are smaller than they should be, and so useless to me in making my badges...
Printing the original image from GIMP gives me it in it's intended size though. How can I stop this from happening?
It happend when I import into an A4 - as I need to fit approximately 40 badge images per sheet.
I can create a signature with image and text as in attachment, (not sure even did that) "DARN"but would like to be able to type directly on a jpeg or gif etc.
View 7 Replies View Relatedso I mess up on an image and I have to undo more than once... this has happened to me on MULTIPLE occasions!!! the undo feature won't undo as far as I need to!!! Gimp takes it upon itself to use a later action as the base image forcing to to throw the whole image away and start over because I CANNOT go back any more because it says 'base image' when I have done other things prior to the so called base image in the undo history!!!
what is causing gimp to do this???

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn short, I have two images open in Gimp. I need to add one the images to the alpha channel of the other image. How do I go about doing this? I was able to add an alpha channel but beyond that I am lost.
This bit will only make sense to 3D modelers. I have 3D model that I'm importing into a the Unity 3D game engine. One of the material shaders makes use of specularity maps. Normally the specularity map would reside in the alpha channel of the RGBA diffuse image, but due to file sizes, all these are released as separate jpegs. The idea is to make some parts of the 3D model more glossy as far as I know. The only way to do this is to add this specular image to the alpha channel of the diffuse image, and then the game engine can work its magic, making the skin look realistic.
i don't know if you can understand my question, i've attached a picture for a better explanation.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to select a specific color from within the image, and change all similar colors within that image to a different color. In other words, after using the Color Picker Tool to select a color from the image, I want to take the selected color (and everything in the image that is equal to or similar in color), and change them all to a different color.
I tried using the Path's Tool to create an outline in the image, and changing colors that way, but it changes all the other colors in the selection I don't want to change. I just want to change all colors in the image/selection that are equal to or similar to the selected color. How do I do this?
I just started to use Gimp a few days ago. I am trying to duplicate an image side by side, then rotate the one image....just for learning purposes. However the new box (that should have my duplicate image) Is just a blank outline of the rectangle box. I watched a video over and over trying to get this, and I just do not see any steps I am missing, yet on the video it turns out perfect. I am normally pretty good with computers, but evidently not with Gimp.
Here is the Path:
file> open>select and open photo>rectangle tool>outline photo>copy>paste>open new layer>select new pasted layer.
Instead of the photo duplicating itself I get a "blank outlined box".
I'm in the process of creating my logo and I thought that I was doing it correctly. When it comes to the step were I am supposed to click on "Feather", it is grayed out and won't allow me to select it. I'm not trying to cut the image. I want to use the regular image which is the shape of a square/rectangle shape.Do I still have to cut around the square/rectangle shape? The truth is that now I don't need to trace around an image to separate it from the background, I don't know how to proceed. Dumb-it-down if you can. I'm no computer wizard by any means.
