Is there a way to take a color from another image and paint with it?

I would like to take the black and blue background color from this image and use it as a paint. Is that possible?
I want to select a specific color from within the image, and change all similar colors within that image to a different color. 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?
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 1 Replies View RelatedI scanned a file in my scanner, it is jpg. The file opens fine in Gimp 2.8.2. I added a transparent layer but when I start to paint on it, the only color Gimp will let me use is black. I can change the foreground and background to any color I want, and it still draws black. I created a white layer, same problem. If I draw on the original file layer, it does the same thing. I already saved the file as an xcf file.
If I open a fresh file, the color works fine, it seems to be just this one file. What have I done to this file and how can I fix it? I tried to attach the file, but it looks like it did not work, I don't know.
This morning I was trying to get the color dynamics to work with the paint brushes. It seems that in 2.8 the "Color to Gradient" dynamics tool was taken out. (However, in the dynamics there are many cool options to choose from, just not gradient.) So getting frustrated, I searched the web after someone mentioned the "Color to Gradient" dynamics and I found this tutorial on creating a "Color to Gradient" dynamics from the dynamics editor.

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 2 Replies View RelatedI have an image and all I want to do is change it to a different color. So if the image is mostly red, I want to shade it blue but still keep its quality, meaning the light-red pixels will turn light-blue, and the dark-red pixels will turn dark-blue.
I prefer an option that automatically changes all the colors for the entire image, but if there is a shader tool where I have to manually shade the image, that'll work too.
I input the image, then I went to Image > Mode > RGB, and from there I went to Colors > Colorize and used the sliders to change the image to the color I want.
I discovered GIMP 2 days ago and I am pretty excited to get started with it. The only problem is that I am a total newbie. I would really like to change the color of this image from black to blue but how to do so and the tutorials that I have found online don't really apply to what I am trying to accomplish.

i recently started using GIMP and i made afew stencils with pretty decent success. i started making my 3rd stencil and when i go to fill the image with a dark color, it fills with dark gray instead of dark green, and the light color wont fill at all.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm a machine knitter. I'm converting images into 2,3 or 4-colors for knitting on my compuerized knitting machine. I need to have a separate "line" for each color of the image in order for my machine to knit with yarn of that color. If 4 colors, I must knit 4 times for each row, once with each color.
I'm doing pretty well with creating the needed image file of 2,3 or 4 colors, but have no clue how I might be able to create a master monster file where each horizontal "line" is essentially exploded into 4 lines, one for each color.
I've been trying to print an image I made with GIMP in cyan colour, but the printer prints it in green. I even tried to print at Staples, but it still comes out in either green or regular blue. How to fix this discrepancy? Shouldn't you be able to print the image exactly as it is shown in GIMP or is there an issue involving JPEG files?

Allot of the times eye color comes out wrong, for instance, when I did my daughter her eyes are blue but color came out brown eyes.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to edit colors in Paint.net so that I would have only solid colors in the image? I would like to get rid of sort of "semi colors/pixels" (see border between red and green color). I would like to have all the borders between colors like the border between blue and grey color where there is only solid colors present.

(What I don't like about paint.net is the missing "show grid" option available in any zoomed size, but anyway back to my problem).
I'm making a product flyer (8.5 X11) for our store and we will pass them around the towns in my area. I will take pictures of the products with my camera and up load them into paint.net. The picture will need to be downsized to approx 1 X 2in, so dithering will be needed to get the same quality has the original. Now downsized, I will need get rid of the photo session backdrop, then create a new canvas of the flyer and paste them in without the background.
How to crop free hand? That is zoom in the picture and using the pencil option define the boarder of the wanted image, then define outside of it has transparent? Or any other method tom achieve the same results.
I'm trying to change an image's main color (see attached). The image has a white, wavy "thread" running along the bottom.
is there a way of changing the green to another color and keep the white thread? I'll have to eventually make several versions of different 'main' colors, all keeping that 'thread'.
[the actual image is 3000 x 600 px; a continuous 'wave' pattern like the sample.]

I have a jpeg image of a motorcycle on a pure yellow background. I want to make the yellow transparent. Naturally there are a lot of spaces within the motorcycle image that contain yellow.
I followed instructions I found...
Removing the background of an image
1) add an alpha channel to your layer
2) use colors/color to alpha and use the background color
This results in the checkerboard being applied to the motorcycle, not the yellow background. I assume that's okay.
This makes all the pixels with the background color transparent, and those with a close color partially transparent.
Then:
- select the background with the magic wand,
- grow the selection by a couple of pixels to ensure that the border of the sprite is in the selection (the most important work of color-to-alpha is on the border pixels, so they shouldn't be protected)
This selects only the area outside the bicycle, but I don't mind reselecting smaller areas, if I can.
- grow the selection by a couple of pixels to ensure that the border is in the selection (the most important work of color-to-alpha is on the border pixels, so they shouldn't be protected)
I am trying to produce a new logo for our business that has a solid Blue cloud image on a transparent background. I need to add text over this but ideally it will show as white over the cloud background but blue when its over the transparent background.
Cant simply change the color of text as its a curved edge its going over. I assume I will need to do some form of punch out but not sure how to start this.
When adding a foreground image to a "flaming" blue background, I find that the image I add takes on the blue colors of the background, rather than keeping its original colors.
The linework and highlights (indeed, most of the detail) remain - they just all turn blue, heh. Like it's trying to camouflage itself. How do I keep the foreground image from "masking" itself to the colors of the background?
Both background and foreground image layers are in .xcf format. Could this be the problem? Do I need to change one or both to something like .jpg or .gif?
I have been trying (without much success) to figure out a way to change all non-white color elements on a picture to a single set color, and was wondering if that is possible to do in GIMP.
For example, I'd like to turn something like this tri-color Italian flag. To this, where the blue color is a color of my choosing.
OK I have a PNG image, black and white. I want to change it to navy and white, IOW sub 0033 for black wherever it is.
Only one prob: some of the squares are SHADES of black, and I want to sub navy for black in EVERY pixel it inhabits, however pale.
How can I do this without trying to identify and translate every shade represented? Does a filter exist for this?
Is there a way to search and replace using masks for HTML color codes or some such (don't even know how color codes work)?
Here is the image I am working with.
I want to change the color to hex #00aced (0, 172, 237). I tried the colorfy, but the image comes out purple. Another way that has worked for me in the past, with white images, is by clicking on the channel dialog and dragging the red down. Clicking on the eye, next delete the original image and than add a new foreground color based on what color I selected from the palette. Of course this isn't working either since the image is so dark.
Now in channel mixer it could work if the RGB would go higher than 200, but since my blue is 237 this is where I am stuck. It has worked with other colors, as long as the RGB is less than 200. This is by selecting each output individually, for example, starting with red and entering a value in red and leaving green and blue at 0. Next selecting Green, entering a value in green and leaving red and blue at 0, and so on... Is there some type of mathematical solution for using the channel mixer, or simple yet, is there a way of making my image more white, without losing my shadows?

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 have a photographic image, I need transparent background. So normal add alpha channel, select by color, clear, save as png.
But this time, select by color also selects parts of the image I do not wish to clear, including the models eyes. Set the threshhold to zero and it *still* selects parts of the image.
The image is already isolated from background. I tried using paint bucket to change background color and select by color that way, and it sort of works except paint bucket doesn't fill in parts where the models curly hair cut the path, so I end up with transparency but white background parts in her hair.
What would be cool is if I could select by color, and then manually use some tool to deselect the selected parts on the model that I do not want to clear, but I can't figure out how to do that.

Using, "Color to Alpha," I tried to select the background of my .jpg image. The background is white, the picture (logo) portion is silver. Because of the closeness in color, when I select white, the software selects the entire image to become alpha (transparent).
When I select the color of the picture, silver, I am able to select just the logo portion. How can I take the logo portion, which is now converted to transparent, and give it a black or transparent background, and then return the logo back to its former color silver. The logo is perfect, it is just that I recently switched my site from a white header to a black header and the image has a white background, so that does not look good.
