I loaded one PNG pic.
I added an alpha channel to make it a transparency.
I used the select by color tool.
I clicked white & removed.
I saved. I switched to eraser - but it is acting like I'm trying to erase something off the transparency layer and won't erase anything.
I have the correct layer selected in the layers window.
how to erase on one layer and have the other layer showing through. I believe I have Gimp 2.6. But I am not sure.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI find myself creating new layers and making them slightly transparent all the time. But when I do this using Gimp it does not work right? This is what I am doing:
Add new layer
use transparency/opaque slider to change the setting
what happens is that the new layer stays solid until it goes below 50% on the slider and then it disappears, above 50% and it is back. It is like the 50% mark is an on/off switch for the layer.
I'd like to achieve an effect similar to the one shown here:

What I need to do...
1.) Take screenshots of various pages of code (did this)
2.) Use masks (or maybe not) to apply some sort of texture behind each screenshot
3.) Use a perspective effect to rotate each page of code to varying extents
4.) Use masks and transparency (or maybe not?) to paste the pages on top of each other in layers
I should be looking up and combining to get there, and with other specifics.
Regarding (1), do I want to capture screenshots of black text on a white background? Or, the reverse? Regarding (2) and (4), are these right?
when I anchor the layer face over the background face the floating selection disappears which means I cannot work on the layer face and therfore am unable to erase the layer face into the background face,this is on gimp 2.6

I have spent hours on it trying to edit the original layer below the alpha transparency or adding layers, getting nowhere.
I have been erasing the hue layers when i do specific pictures when i want the backround to be a different hue than the foreground. And i would select the hue layer, and just use the erase tool and it would remove that specific hue in that area... Well now i will not do that anymore. I must have checked some box on accident or somthing. when i select the eraser tool and the hue layer, it shows the eraser circle on the picture, but it will not erase anything...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been editing a batch of photos and everything had been working fine.
But then it was not allowing me to directly edit the layers. I cannot draw, paint, erase, smooth, etc. I can draw shapes and select and delete material, but have no independent control with the tools.
I am having trouble getting the erase tool to erase part of an elipse shape in Corel Draw. I select the erase tool and click and drag across the part of an elipse that I want to get rid of (so far so good), then I release the mouse and an outline of the nib tool is left behind.

I am having trouble in Photoshop CS6 trying to erase outer edges on a pasted video layer I have a short animated video I am working on but when I paste an animated video from file I cannot erase the outer edges because every time I try to do this it converts the pasted video to a smart object and then when I only gives the option to rasterize the pasted video layer, after it is rasterized it becomes a static image which dosent have any animation at all. Is there any way I can erase the edges around the video layer without this happening?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a problem editing an image with a dotted background in it. By 'dotted', I mean an array of small evenly spaced black dots on a white background.
I've tried the fuzzy select tool which kind of works. It fills in the white space with the color I want but leaves the dots untouched. I want to get rid of the dots.
The image has a lot of rectangles containing text (these are not dotted) on this dotted background so using the select tool would be a real chore.
I've been trying to use the Eraser Tool to erase a background sky and it won't erase. The Alpha Channel is turned on, the Selection Tools work, but the eraser does nothing.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a lisp which I use to erase all points in a specific layer.
(defun cPL ()

It is working only if I have the points in the DWG. If there are no points, I receive "Unknow command DPL". Is there anything I can do in order to avoid this error?
what I'm doing right now is trying to erase the background of many different photos and combine them (as different layers) into one image. I finished two layers and just as I was about get going on my third layer, I made a mistake and did something to the threshold. I didn't remember what I had it on (well, it was on the default setting) so i put it back to 141 and decided to continue with my work. but then I realized that I couldn't select anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working with Photoshop CS6 Extended and in the last two days have started to have problems with some files.One of the main layers gets a strange pattern over the top of it and at closer inspection relised that the pattern was infact transparent, allowing you to see through to the background layer.
This is my current set up:
Processor 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
The explanation of the reference book:
"Select Transparency Shapes Layers to restrict layer effects and knockouts to opaque areas of the layer. Deselecting this option, which is always selected by default, applies these effects throughout the layer."
What is the meaning of applying effects throughout the layer?
When I deselect this option, I can never see any effect applied ...
Is it able to change the transparency of a layer? I know how to get the value but i can't find how to set a new one!
Using acTrans = acDocs.MdiActiveDocument.Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()
acLyrTbl = acTrans.GetObject(acDocs.MdiActiveDocument.Database.LayerTableId, OpenMode.ForRead)
For Each acObjId As ObjectId In acLyrTbl
acLyrTblRec = acTrans.GetObject(acObjId, OpenMode.ForRead)
Dim MyTransparency As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors.Transparency = acLyrTblRec.Transparency MsgBox(MyTransparency.ToString) Next acObjId
End Using
I was just wondering what the practical difference was between the Opacity of a layer and the transparency of a layer. They seem to have the same effect, but I reckon that Adobe wouldn't have seperated them for no good reason.

how to get rid of the transparency in a layer?
I don't mean flattening it, that just puts it on a white background, I want to preserve all of the colour information, but just get rid of the transparency.
I recently upgraded from PS7 to SC3 Extended and am not completely familiar with it yet. I colour my line-art in Photoshop, and in order to do that the way I like to I have the "Preserve Transparency" button selected which is normally under the "Layers" tab but is annoyingly not there. Does anyone know how to re-include that option into the tab,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Adobe Photoshop CS2. I formerly had been using CorelPHOTO-PAINT, but have since then moved on to better things.
In CorelPHOTO-PAINT, there is a tool called the "Interactive Object Transparency Tool." This tool was simple: you'd select an object (layer) and click a start point, you then would move your cursor in the desired direction, clicking once again to complete the function. The further away the second (or end) point was, the more gradual the transformation to transparency.
I know CS2 has a Gradient Tool, but that involves colors, and I want to gradually and directionally decrease the opacity on a layer without involving color.
