i like drawing in pencil, then inking, and then scanning it into my computer, and what i'd like to do is put the pic on a transparency and then erase the paper and pencil from it but keep the ink lines, so they'er the only thing on the transparency. I can do the inking on a transparency layer over top of the original draft in gimp, but i prefer to do it on paper.
View 1 Replies I'm having a problem performing the most basic task - erasing. This seems crazy that I'm having such a problem with this.
I have opened a pdf document in Gimp 2.8 for Windows. Then I:
- choose 'Tools'
- then, 'Paint Tools'
- then, 'Eraser'
Once I try to start erasing some of the black text on a pure white background, the eraser has a 'checkered' pattern. So instead of erasing in 'white', the tool erases with a checker pattern. See the attached photo.

Using CS2 and images that were shot in RAW and have been converted to jpgs or psds.
When I create a duplicate b&w layer and try to erase over a color that is not bright (in the more neutral family, like blue eyes or faded blue colors), the bottom color layer is not showing true to its color and is instead showing as a yucky orange peach. This does not happen with brighter colors of any type - erasing to reveal them will reveal the true color.
This does not happen with my older documents that came out of my camera as jpgs. Also, no amount of changing modes, color spaces or anything like that seems to help.
I'm attempting to tilt this image for use in a game im writing. I've been using Map Object and rotation (Y) but this then causes pixel color changes on the boundary with the background color. How would I tilt this picture without getting the problem?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow I choose a color for any new objects I want to create. I've opened the toolbox with ctrl-b, which appears on the left side of the window. If I want to , for example, draw a red rectangle, I use the rectangular selection tool, then the bucket fill, and I don't see how to change the foreground color to red.
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 RelatedIn a .psd-document, I'm working in many layers. Each layer has a different color. What i want to do is to be able to erase trough several layers a time with an eraser with some 'softness' and some 'opacity', and just a tiny bit of 'hardness'. The eraser should affect the upper layers more than the lower layers - ideally in an exponential-curve.
I've made a muck-up erasing manually less and less trough five layers, just to let you know visually what i want to do:
The eraser takes away a lot of the first layer, but barely touches the one lowest.
I have a shot with an item on a white background. I have selected the white background and used the background eraser to remove the white. Is there a tip to determine that I have it all erased?
Many times I complete the erasing only to find several areas I have not fully erased. The checkerboard background makes it too hard to the areas I might have missed. Is there a better way?
If i have an image that has several adjustment layers on it, is it possible to erase through all of the layers at once to reveal part of the original image. I don't want to have to flatten all of the layers first.

I want to create an extra layer (which is a contrasting color...bright green) so I can see more clearly as I'm erasing the sections I don't want. Can anyone show me step by step how to do this ? ..I'm not getting the layers in the right order or something .

View 5 Replies View RelatedI had overlapping shapes with the stroke layer style and I wanted to erase part of the shape so it was white there rather than a line from the overlapping. Apparently now with CS4 you cant just simply erase lines if the layer you are in has a stroke layer? Cuz when I erase, it just like pushes the line, which ultimately is very cool, if I wanted to keep the line but erase the shape to create a custom one. But I just want to get rid of the line. I think I knew how to merge shapes in CS3 for them to share the same outline, but I dont know how now. Plus I dont think that is what I want cuz I only want the shapes to share the outline in a specific area.
how to merge shapes though? Like if you put two circles together like a ven diagram and then merge them so they have 1 outline not intersecting it gets rid of the middle lines that create a sort of () shape and instead you have 1 big outline of 2 circles?
When I went to use the eraser, it didn't erase anything, instead putting color on what I was working on, like the paintbrush would do.

But I want to know how to rid the black in the background and around the fire without erasing the shadows in the fire and making it look like I did so. I want it to look smooth if you know what I mean. Another way of putting what i want differently if you dont understand is I basically want all the black behind the fire and background pic transparent, without making the fire look crappy in the process.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use the eraser (or perhaps another tool) to erase in a straight line (rather than freehand)? I have an image that I need to make a series of erasures...take away straight line segments of the image. I keep finding how to "erase a straight line" on the internet but they are only discussing how to erase or clear a straight line just drawn...not what I am after. If there is a way (I was hoping I could use the eraser tool and press the shift key or something)

I've never had trouble erasing through adjustment layers (ie a levels or curves layer), but as of today, I am unable to erase through any adjustment layers. The history log shows I'm using the eraser tool, but nothing happens within the layer I'm trying to erase. I don't seem to have a problem erasing through duplicate background layers.

I have one photo of a lizard that is on a white flooring, so i was trying to replace the white with a brown colour using the colour replacement tool. It went horribly... I kept playing with the options but the white just got replaced by pale, obvious colours no matter which colours i picked so i gave up.
Now i was getting into another pic and want to erase the background and after selecting the eraser tool, it just started colouring it in with the fore-colour instead of erasing. I've tried changing the colour replacement options and got it so that it just does nothing when i try to erase.
My colour replacement settings are:
mode - hue
sampling - continuous
limits - contiguous
tolerence - 30%
anti-alias ticked
My eraser settings are:
brush
opacity - 100%
flow - 100%
erase to history ticked.
how i can reset my photoshop back to default settings ...
In Photoshop you can erase part of an image with the color white with the paint brush and bring it back with the black brush. I used the erase tool to remove part of an image but then wanted to bring the edges back, but with precision detail, however i don't see a way to un-erase the edges like you can in photoshop. Example I have one shot of a sky and one shot of the mountains. I layer the two images and I erase the sky in the mountain image so the sky image in the layer below comes through. However, the divide between the mountain photo and the sky photo has jagged edges and I want to paint part of the image back in with precision along the rough mountain edges.

View 1 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.
