GIMP :: How To Use Bevel And Emboss Layer Effect On Image Copied From Another Image
Jul 19, 2013
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 created a file in .psd, with several text layers to which I applied effects (fx) such as stroke, bevel & emboss, outer glow. When I flatten the image, the outer glow and stroke remain, but the bevel & emboss effect is gone. Type is a single color without the 3 dimensional effect.
I am also not able to preserve the bevel & emboss look when saving as a jpeg or a flattened .tif or .pdf. A saved .tif or .pdf with layers shows the effect just fine, but if the pdf is opened with Acrobat instead of Photoshop, the effect is not visible.
This must be a new problem, because I found a file that I created several years ago that is a flattened .tif with the bevel & emboss effect preserved.
I tried rasterizing the layer, and the type. Tried converting to 16 bit changing mode to CMYK, and multi-channel. Everything that involved merging layers lost the bevel & emboss effect.

I am trying to create a logo similar to the picture I have attached. It isn't exactly embossed, rather imprinted. I am trying to use the digit 6 in avant garde/ century gothic font 62pts, same colors. Somehow, I can't seem to get the desired effect using the embed/bevel layer setting.

Is there a way to give Bevel & Emboss effect to text in Illustrator, the same way like in Photoshop?

It would be cool if Adobe would have provided a Reverse checkbox for Bevel & Emboss effects, like they did for the Gradients. Is there a quick way to reverse a bevel and emboss effect or do I have to adjust each setting manually?

I want to take a simple black and white image (not even grayscale) and use it as a stamp to deform a wood grain image. Basically a footprint in the sand type of thing.

I have an image that I resized and that resulted in a gray checker board pattern above and below the original photo. I tried to add another photos above by copying and pasting it but get nothing I can see.
I tried merging visible layers but that did nothing (obviously since the copied photo is not visible).
Specifically I open the second photo, Select > All, Edit > Copy, went to the first image Edit > Paste resulting in a outline box of about the right size but without anything in it. I dragged this to the place I wanted it but I cannot get it to become visible. When I anchored the layer the outline box went away.
I have two layers but the second layer appears to be exactly like the first one.

When I add an emboss effect to text on an upper layer, the color of a simple rectangle object on a lower layer changes to a darker color. When it prints, the letters have a really dark colored rectanglular "box" aound them. There is no other effects on any of the other layers or the text. How do I correct this?

Is there any plug-in that has more control over bevel/emboss than the basic PS 7 effects. Or has CS 2 improved on the PS 7? Mainly for use with Text.

I created a ribbon using the extrude and bevel effect and then mapping it with a custom symbol. I copied the image and then tried to get a matching image on the flipside to mirror it but cannot seem to figure it out. Is there a way to somehow flip the orientation of the image? I tried using transform and then reflect and it does not do anything. I tried to do it manually in mapping and flipping the box upside down and in reverse but it just doesn't seem result in the a reflective image. Attached are the two images I am trying to get to reflect each other.

I 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.

In photoshop7 I make a coloured vector shape.
Then I apply a bevel with an obvious highlight and shadow.
Heres the question:
Is there anyway to then hide the shape so that I just have the bevel and shadow, so that I can overlay this elsewhere
Obviously hiding the shape hides the effect aswell....

I'm trying to write a script to batch process a number of files. I want the script to open file a*.png, convert black color to alpha and paste image b*.png on top of a*.png (both are the same size). The script converts black to alpha, but it doesn't paste image.
(define (batch-alpha-paste pattern pattern2);get the file lists (let* ((filelist (cadr (file-glob pattern 1)))(filelist2 (cadr (file-glob pattern2 1)))) (while (not (null? filelist))(let* ((file-name (car filelist))(filename2 (car filelist2)) (image2 (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename2 filename2))) (draw2 (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image 2)))(image (car (gimp-file-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE filename filename)))(drawable (car (gimp-image-get-active-layer image)))) ; convert black to alpha(plug-in-colortoalpha RUN-NONINTERACTIVE image drawable '(0 0 0))

i 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 have a GIF image that I need to add something to, but I don't want to add it to every single individual layer. Is there a way to add it over or behind the entire GIF so that it remains static while the GIF's frames cycle - like a watermark or something?
Or if not, is there maybe a script-fu that copies and merges a selected layer over every other individual layer automatically, without messing them up?
I know I'll probably have to just end up manually adding it to each layer, (so many layers...).

I am trying to figure out how to make an image, for example, an animal image, have a cartoonish effect to it. The cartoon option in Gimp does not do what I wanted it to do so there is probably something else I am missing. Here is an example.

It is the highest to the top photo that appears to be Carlton from the fresh prince of Bel-air.
The website uses a blackish color for the background and when you roll over a comment it turns a bit brighter.
When I view the image source it shows the image being completely white with the facial lines shown.
I got very close to recreating the effect but to no success.

I'm trying to create some icons using layer style/blending options.
I do emboss and apply gradient and add glow and so on.
Looks all really nice. But then, when I save for web and devices as a .gif file, there is some ugly "blur" around my created shape. As if .gif. interpreted the embossing thing in a wrong way,giving it some color instead of transparency ...

I want to create an effect on my image where the image is ripped from behind and the ripped pieces are turned to the front like the power that ripped the material came from behind.
An example would be AC/DC Razors Edge album cover.
I found some tutorials but they are just for ripped paper. I want to be able to turn those ripped edges anywhere I want like real paper or some other material in real life.

Take a look at the following site:
[URL]
For the background image halfway down, there's a totem pole sort of "merged" in with the color. But it's not simply an overlay blend mode or opacity change. It has essentially seemed to adopt an entire palette based on the background color itself.
I think I recall a way to create this effect in Photoshop, but in GIMP I'm stuck. How would one go about making that "color overlay", given any regular picture and a colored background? I'm doing this for a website, by the way.

I'm putting some images together and when I put one layer on top of the other, the bottom image bleeds thru. The top layer shows 100% opacity but still see thru it.
I've been working at removing the white background from the image and replacing it with an alpha channel. What can I do to make the top image solid?

Have noticed a strange behavior lately with LR 5 when I am making small adjustments in the Basic panel. The problem seems to happen when I am moving through the images too fast. If I make some adjustments to an image and then hit the arrow key to go to the next image, all of the previous adjustments are copied over. I typically use the Previous button for a lot of my editing but LR does this on it's own. I then need to Reset the photo to default and start over. Not a huge annoyance until it gets to the point where you need to re-edit some photos and it copies over everything. This happened several times to me today. I had an event fully edited but decided there were a few photos that needed minor adjustments. As I was quickly scrolling through making adjustments where needed, I would notice that LR would drastically change the settings to match the previous photo. This completely slowed me down and I had to re-edit so many photos. In some cases it would even copy over the cropping I had done. I hate to say but I am not very impressed with this version of LR so far. Feels rushed and not polished. I understand that each version has it quirks and issues but so many for an established program. Tempted to go back to 4. Slow and unusable healing brush and now this annoyance are two major hits for me.
