I need to crop the edge (non-map) area from an old map that I scanned for use in QGIS. How do I remove the edge and not have it replaced with white. I need for the new edge to truly be the new edge. I also need to save it as a Tiff. Is it possible to crop and make the outside or background transparent and still save it as a Tiff? I need to georeference my result without any kind of edge beyond the map data.

When I open a rectangular photographic image (JPG) and rotate it 90 degrees, the canvas remains the same and the ends of the photo are cropped. I there a way to rotate the whole shebang so this cropping doesn't happen?
Telling the canvas to resize to the picture doesn't seem to work for me.

I have an animated GIF whose edges I'd like to trim off. Some forums say you can only do this by breaking down animated GIFs to individual frames, cropping each, then recreating the single GIF. This would be a lot of work for 93 frames. Is there a better easier way to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been taking a series of pictures of a church over the seasons and would like to make a slide show from them showing the changes. The problem is I have taken them by hand and so the images do not completely overlay.
Is there a way I can select part of the image, for example the top of the church door beam and then align each other image to the same position. This may require some of the images to rotate themselves slightly. I would then like to be able to crop each image to a defined area, the same in all cases, and then save the images. I was planning to produce a slide show in powerpoint with the images to show how the church has changed over the seasons but if there is an option to do this with better results I would like to consider it.
And the issue I am having, isthat I created a Magazine cover using my son's football pic.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I'm trying to make a modified loading screen for a game (Homeworld 2 to be exact) but I'm not sure how to do this. You see the loading screen has a black background with a blue line in the shape of a hud, with the actual picture inside of it (Example, the loading bar is rendered dynamically and not part of the image). What I was thinking of doing, is erasing the inside, then copy & pasting the picture I want as a new layer over it, then cropping out the area outside the blue "hud" to give a black background with a internal picture. I was wondering if there would be a way to do that without overwriting the blue outline and having to do it manually.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do you copy a strip of the edge of an image and re-apply that strip to the outside of the image?
Now that I have a pentagon crop, I want to print it on canvas. To do this the image can't be further cropped because I did that already. So I have to select a strip of the image at the edges and "flip " that outside of the edge so that the canvas wraps around the stretcher frame (don't want to have a white canvas side on the stretcher).
It's just supposed to be a plain black logo, which I've extracted from an image and smoothed/sharpened the edges (they were very rough even before the extraction process). But somehow I've introduced this faint ghost line about 1mm in from the edges of the logo, and I can't get rid of them even if I draw over the entire logo with jet black.
The ghost line becomes most apparent when I anchor the transparency to a white background. Here is zoomed segment of the logo demonstrating the issue:
There is none of this effect on my original full size transparency. It must happen during during the smooth process. Process I used:
- Alpha to selection
- Shrink by a few mm
- invert
- gaussian blur
- colour->curves-> and resharpen smoothed/blurred edges using the 'alpha' graph
Say you have a irregular object that is in shades of red and you want to shade one one edge to from red to purple to indigo. You select specific red pixels and replace them with blues. You brush in the amount, area, and shape that you want to change without changing and other colours. You then select another shade of red pixel and used a darker shade of blue and brush over part of the area that you have already done to darken it. You repeat as necessary to get the effect you want.
I have tried masking and color select but the edges are too defined and not giving the effect that I want. Most of my less powerful graphics programs have this tool but unfortunately they can no longer handle the graphics I am working with.
when I try to cut out a freeform selection, it blurs the edges around the remaining image. Since I want to be able to piece together the images later, I want to avoid this. How?

I can crop and feather a selection of an image, but what i wanted to do was apply a feathered edge to an entire image so that i could drop it into a word doc and it would look a bit smarter.
I've been trying to do it by -
'Select > All ' then ' Select > feather ' applying the amount of feather (i did an inch just to make sure).
But it made no difference - i tried exporting this as a JPEG to see if it came up then but it still didn't make a difference...
I have several photographs of amateur paintings that were taken with some kind cheap camera that distorts the edges, making them curved.

I have a vertical (rectangular) photo that I have pasted into a square canvas. I am looking to expand the photo to the edges of the canvas in a specific way: I want to stretch the edges of the photo (not the whole photo) such that the closer the photo edge is to the edge of the canvas the more stretched it is.

I used to work in Photoshop and GIMP, but then became sidetracked. I've forgotten half of it. I used to make siggies for others all the time, although I really was guessing my way through some of it. I knew I could do better.
Anyway, I figured it'd be wise to start with a really basic question. I'll use the pic below as an example.
In a pic such as this one, how would you go about seamlessly blending the edge of the picture with the background? (All I did so far was have 2 separate layers; the picture of the hottie, and then behind it of course was just the template where I tried to match the pink from the hotty pic).
I'm also curious about just blending 2 or more photographs together to create a collage. I've done this before, but I know I made it harder and more tedious than it had to be. So.... would a collage have to be done a little differently.
I used to go about all this various ways way back when, but like I said... I've forgotten half my little tricks which I know really weren't the correct and easiest route to go about it.
I'm having trouble getting the edges of my eyes to look like they are part of the chair, which got me wondering. Is there a way to feather my edges with increased intensity closer to the edge? To be specific, I'd like to start the feather 100px inside the border with 60% opacity, all the way to the edge (border) with 0% opacity. I tried doing this manually a couple of ways and it just didn't look uniform.
I have also tried with the eyes seperated (without the middle area), but I still have the same issues.
I have an existing HTML page (created in Adobe Muse) and I am trying to draw some Adobe Edge objects on top of the page (e.g. a rectangle or an image).

Using Autocad 2000LT and trying to locate as many 1.5" diameter circles as I can within a 21" diameter circle keeping all the circle .500" apart from any other circle and .500" away from the outer edge. Am using the array function. Trying to bring the first circle up to the line thats .500" in from the 21" outside diameter.
First when I zoom the 1.5" circle looks like a series of lines, not a smooth round circle. First how do I smooth out the appearance of the circle. Second, what commands do I use to move the edge of the circle to just tough the line so that when I measure from the outside dia to the far edge of the small circle I get 2".
In version 5.2 for Mac i'm seeing Export -> Long Edge / Short Edge giving the wrong result... they seem to be inversed... I.e. defining a long edge seems to result in an exported image with that length as the short edge.
