When I was running GIMP 2+ under Win XP all icons of *.xcf displayed the image in the icon.
Under Win 7, only the GIMP icon is displaed. Is there a CODEC or other method to have the *.xcf image to display properly as an icon?
I've got a white UI button with 3D shading and transparency. The white button looks great. I want a red button, so I turned off the green and blue channels (and left on the red and alpha channels). The red button looks great.
A red button is being displayed under GIMP. When I save the red button as a PNG, the button saves as white rather than red. How to save/export to file using GIMP 2.6?

However, after exporting as an ico the image is very recognizable but shorter and fatter. I use to use photoshop so with gimpshop I look for something that said retain aspect ratio but as of now I haven't found it. It seems to adjust both width and height when I scale it but something happens during the export.

I fully understand the difference between dpi and ppi.My question is: From where is this information coming from?

I successfully wrote a script that add an outline to my picture, but the wierd thing is that this outline only appear when i actually click in the window (i select move, and click once).
Is there something to prevent this and display it right away?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed Photoshop CS4 x64 on Windows 7 x64 (RC) and when I open an image (any image file), it is not displayed in Photoshop. This is on a fresh install on a new PC. I see the tab (and the window) that photoshop displays for an image, but there is no image data in it. The only way I can see the image is if I drag the tab (converting it into a window), once I drop the window, the image data is again not visible. I am getting the same issue with Photoshop CS4 (x86). Has anyone else seen this before? I have updated my video card drivers, and I installed the drivers for my monitors (even though I don't believe in monitor drivers!).

I am now seeing more and more of this effect and would like to know if there is a guide how to achieve similar results.
The effect I am talking about is the following:
The icon seems to be pressed in the background, like having depth. Not sure what this effect is called.
I was wondering is it possible to apply this effect to any image/icon? example the other icon I attached ...

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've opened a gif file (web icon) which has shades of green. I want to use this on another site of ours which is similar but has shades of orange.
I use the dropper to select the color from a gif on the orange site - so the color is there in the color section box.
When I try to draw / fill on the green gif it ignores the orange color selected and uses a green from green gif. A lighter orange gives a lighter green.
On this one particular gif I'm trying to change the background to b1b1b1 for icon use. Somehow whenever I choose that color and use the bucket tool to fill in the background I instead have the background become doe8a0 (the things that look like o's are zeros). I have no clue why it gives me such a different color.
Here's the gif I'm trying to change the background to b1b1b1.
I've installed GIMP-2.6.10-p1-Snow-Leopard on my Mac OS X 10.6.3 .
When I start to paint , I found that the tool icon can not follow up with the mouse.
How to change the color of an icon (ex: from black to grey). My problem is that the end result is sometimes an icon that is partially transparent.
Here is what I am doing:
1) I open the image of which I want to change the color (black icon over transparent background)
2) Create a new layer and color this in white.
3) Merge the two layers
4) Create a new layer and color this with the color I want for my icon
5) Go to Colors -> Color to Alpha
6) Select the current color of the icon
7) Click Ok - Now icon color is the wanted color over a white background
8) Create a new layer and leave this transparent
9) Go to Colors -> Color to Alpha
10) Select the white color (current background color).
11) Click Ok - Now icon background is transparent, but icon color is also partially transparent.
Is there a way how I can change the color of an icon without getting the icon color transparent.
I created a email icon:
layer 5 stamp text
layer 4 rectangle (stamp)
layer 3 text
layer 2 rectangle (envelope)
layer 1 background
When I tried to work on the background layer, I realized I couldn't paint/draw on any of the layers except layer 4, but changes only appear inside the stamp's rectangular area.
I haven't don't anything clever here, I simply made a layer, drew a simple shape, stroked path, and added a new layer until I was done.
How do I undo this layer fixation?

I am on SUSE 12.2 kde, gimp-2.8.0
The icon spacing in the toolbox randomly changes its inter iconspacing, see [URL] .........
The only way I can get it back to normal seems to be to close gimp downand restart it
Maybe it has been corrected in 2.8.4 but SUSE haven't offered this intheir repositories.
Is there another setting that I can tweak to restore the inter iconspacing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI found out how to do this recently so I decided that I wanted to make a tut for those who don't know how to make an icon image. This icon image is for the libraries tab on your computer. Under the libraries tab there is Music, Pictures, Documents, and PhotosÂ
Â
First you will need the ICO (Icon image format) Format extension for Photoshop which can be downloaded here: Â
Â
[URL].........Â
Â
The download link and tutorial on how to install it is all in the link above. Once you have that all set you can now launch Photoshop to create your icon image. Once you have launched it, create a new document with the size as in the image below. Â
Â
[URL]..........Â
Â
Create the image you want. I used a simple one by using the custom shape tool by pressing "U" on your keyboard and with the basic blending options.Â
Â
[URL].........Â
Â
The reason why the image is pixelated is because it is an icon image. Since the image is only 256x256 pixels when you zoom in on it that will get you the pixely result. The reason why I zoomed in is so you can see it. But don't worry this is no the end result. Just continue reading and you will see. Â
Â
So once you have created the icon go ahead and press
file>save as>(under format choose the ICO)>and choose the name that you want to name it. And save it in your C: drive. You will see why to save it in your C: drive in a sec.Â
Â
[URL]..........Â
Â
So now that you have created the icon and saved it now you can create the new library.Â
Â
[URL].........
Â
Name the library whatever you want I named it "Sample" for tutorial purposes. Notice how it gives you a default boring icon image for your library.Â
Â
[URL].........
Â
So now once you have created and named your library now it is time to get the icon image into place. Go to computer/c: Drive/users/YOU/ And now once you have reached this area you will need to access a hidden folder named "appdata" to do so press "Alt" then a menu bar will show. Click tools>folder options>and view. Find the option to view hidden folders then press apply then ok. Now we shall continue so AppData>Roaming>Microsoft>Windows>Libraries Â
Â
Now you should see all the libraries including the one you just created.Â
Â
[URL].........
Â
[URL]..........Â
Â
Once you have reached your destination then open a new text document with notepad and drag the library you just created in notepad. The result should look like this:Â
Â
[URL].........Â
Â
once you have reached this point click at the end of the second to last line down then press enter and enter in this information
<iconReference>c:"NAME OF ICO FILE YOU CREATED IN PS".ico</iconReference>
Example:
[URL]...........Â
Â
Once you have entered that information go to file>save and the icon image should appear on the library you created.Â
Â
[URL]............Â
Â
Now you are officially finished. Go and spread the news and joy.
