I bought a Pepin press book & cd, of wallpaper patterns. They are not in the rgb mode, but the (what is it? ) CYBK? mode. When I load them onto gimp the colors are way off.
Apparently gimp converts them to rgb mode, but the colors are glaring & clashing.
I have been having a problem with Gimp. I am currently working on a Gif banner for a webpage. The banner itself is 728x90 pixels. It has 186 different layes as well, some of which are inside of folders. The xcf itself is complete, but the only other stage I need to complete is converting it to Indexed colors so I can export it as a gif; however, whenever i access the Image>Mode tab, the "Indexed" button isn't highlighted, and I am unable to click on it, even with the keyboard commands. I haven't been able to find a solution so far. Here's a picture of the problem.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have 32bit TGA images files and want to convert them into 32bit BMP, preserving the alpha channel (very important).
I have about 2000 files I need to convert. Doing it manually using gimp, I just open the image, save as and change the extension to bmp. I leave every other setting to default.
I've been using corel draw since version 4, and I love it. Now on x5 I cannot figure this out. I use eps files for printing large format with contour lines for cutting. My setup uses a spot color defined as "CutContour" for cutting. It seems x5 renames these colors or converts them to something else. I opened the same file in 12 and had to Reclick the same color for the cutter to see it and it worked fine. Any setting to change this?

I know it's the color profile that Raw is assigning. My question... is there a way to disable the color profile conversion coming from Camera Raw?
I've always had great results without using profiles and now this alters my color. I've even tried to go in and force the image to use a different color profile but at this point the damage has been done by the camera raw plugin.
I need to convert from bitmap images to PNGs with the command line. I've tried looking into script-fu, but lisp is one of those languages I could never figure out.
I've tried using imagemagick, but it did not properly convert the images. The images are apparently 32bit Windows Bitmap V3 files with an alpha channel; according to a page I found on google, imagemagick will not preserve the alpha channel in this particular case. I don't know for certain if that's the actual reason why imagemagick isn't working, but it definitely isn't working. It does, however, work if done manually in gimp.
This is going to be part of a python script, so I need it to convert a specific bitmap file rather than all the ones in a directory.
We would like to use Gimp for a small set of image conversion experiments. Unfortunately, the system where we want to install and run Gimp belongs to a US Govt agency, the environment is secure and their data is extremely sensitive. So we need to get their approval before we can install Gimp. To get it, we need to provide information on whether Gimp is "US-based" or "foreign-origin". We don't have a strict definition of what either of these terms means, but I am wondering if you have encountered these questions before. Can you tell me what the geographic origin of the tool is? Do you know of any specific instances of your tool being installed at any US Govt locations with sensitive environments?

For some time we have problems with the colors.
As standard pallette we use Pantone Coated, but after I export a .cdr to .eps some colors are replaced with a new color with the same name, when I open it in Coreldraw again afterwards. The colors are placed in a new user pallette and have different CMYK values.
How knows how to keep my PMS coated pallete?
Is there a way to have Corel Draw X4 automatically convert all RGB colors into CYMK? I've a very complicated clipart and all colors are RGB; I don't want to convert the clipart into a bitmap to change the color mode.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen a mixed RGB/CMYK PDF is opened in Illustrator CS6, Illustrator forces a conversion to one color space or the other. See this screenshot: [URL]
I assume this is a limitation of Illustrator and there's no way to keep both color spaces. Under that assumption, Is it possible to choose the profiles used for the conversion from RGB to CMYK? Can Illustrator be made to use the RGB and CMYK profiles defined in its Color Settings to make this conversion?
I have a text layer with width given at its creation. When I later open text editor and enter some wider text, it is wrapped to second line. So I would like to enhance the width of the layer to prevent this. When I add width to the layer using "Layer Boundary Size" menu item, text layer gets converted into standard bitmap layer . I don't understand the logic why a text layer isn't preserved on change of its size .
Is there a way how I can adjust size of text layer without its conversion to a bitmap?
Whenever I open a photo with my Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, I get the following message:

What do I need to do?

I've read elsewhere in the forum that there should be two rectangles somewhere on the screen that show foreground and background color, but I don't see them anywhere.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am a texture designer as a hobby for an online game called Eternal Lands.
Ususally I just make my own textures, but I wanted to edit an existing texture this time. The texture is for armor called Red Dragon Armor, it has red scales on it.
I want to replace these red scales (without taking away the details such as the streaking and the scratches) with gold. I tried using "Color select" then "colorify" but it didn't come out quite right.
What is the usual method for changing the color of a section of an image if there are details and you don't want to use the "bucket fill" option?
I have a dark gray triangle alongside a pure white triangle in a square GIF image. I want to convert the white triangle to alpha and leave the dark gray triangle completely opaque. When I use Color --> Color to Alpha, however, I see the checkerboard pattern extend over the gray in addition to the white.
1. Does this mean that the gray is being made translucent?
2. If so, how do I set only one the white to alpha (at 0% opacity) and leave the gray at 100% opacity?
I have a layer that is all white with text and some shapes (with heavy anti-aliasing, so the alpha channel variations of white, too) and I am trying to convert it to a specific other color (just a cream color that I have the HTML code for).
So, when a layer is all one color (not counting variation in alpha values), is there a technique to change that to a specific other color, rather than just toggling the "Color Balance" to get an approximation?
I am using the Color Exchange feature in Gimp 2. I am trying to change a red background to black. The Color Exchange feature allows me to do that, however, it comes out with only part of the color changed and it all very blotchy.

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?

Could I have a description of how to match the skin color of the head to the boxer's skin color?
I have a simple silhouette design that I spent a long time creating and cropping out. I made it one solid color so after I saved it I could use it as a layer and change the color with the bucket fill tool. When I saved it, then opened it up again it appears one color until you zoom in, where it shows it is actually a number of different shades of that one color which makes it very hard to change the color of the image. How to do this so I can save this layer and change the color of it easily? It is going to be part of a logo I am doing and do not yet know the color scheme.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an image, and there's a part of it that's red that I want to turn into a different shade of red (or a different color altogether)--but I want the rest of the image to remain unchanged.
How do I do that? (This is seriously the first time I've ever used a graphic art computer program of any sort, so I am a complete square-one newb.)
It seems like such an insanely simple thing to do, yet I've searched and searched the internet, and it seems like all the tutorials I've found don't work or leave out some sort of important step that I don't get, and I just can't get it right. The best I've done so far is to convert *most* of the red stuff to a different color, all except the outer edges, making it look pixelated and gross.
