I am trying to use a picture to colour some text. The problem is that the text comes in the form of an image. So basically take the outline of the text and fill it with the picture. I am so confused with layers.

I finally managed to create some text along a curved path. That took a while. Now how do I A) fill it with some colour (it looks like it's just outlined text right now), and B) make it actually part of the image (exporting the image to jpeg, it doesn't seem to show up )

So far, i've been using cloning. But if there is a great deal of letters, cloning becomes tedious pretty soon.
Just wondering if there exists some more elegant trick to do this job.
I have this picture i with some text, its a company name and a department name. I would like to add something in the end of the department name.
So my question is - is it possible to get the font from text on the picture and write some more text with that?
I would like to modify a text on a picture for a friend. Let me explain : here is the picture I'd like to modify :

Second question. How to make a text looks "real".
I have thought : let's take a picture of a someone holding a blank paper and add a message.
[URL].....
It's not bad but it doesn't look as if I had stamped the message. So I was wondering is there any tool to do so ? Or to make the text fit the picture. As you can see, the quality is not perfect, the first thing coming in my mind is "pixels". It seems we have two different kind of "pixelisation" (I don't know if it's the correct term for what I want to say) : an "old" picture with a new text...I tried the pixel filter it's not working fine.
How do I do the effect for the blurred flower and text in this picture?
[URL]......
Also, what font is used and how do I do that effect?
Any method to transform all the pixel of a colour similar to X(in RGB values) to X ?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am working on a website that has existing template images. One of these in particular has a predominate blue background colour, specifically #0a2a35 (195 81 21 [HSV], 10 42 53 [RGB], 81 21 0 79 [CMYK]). I want to transform this colour to an orange colour, #be5d27 (21 79 75 [HSV], 190 93 39 [RGB], 0 51 79 25 [CMYK]). At the same time, I want to change the lighter and darker blue accent colours of the image to become variations of the orange colour.
I have tried several things already, and one method that almost worked for me was using the "Colorize" tool to match the HSV values of the blue colour to orange colour. It almost works except the RGB values don't quite match up.
Windows 7 and Gimp 2.8.2 in single window mode.
I am trying to to use Colour to Alpha by picking a specific colour from an image. But I can't get the colour picker to work.
The image has an alpha channel.
I choose Colour to Alpha, then click on the From swatch. The Colour to Alpha Colour Picker window appears. I click on the eyedropper. But when I move the eyedropper over the image, the cursor changes to the previous tool that was used. For example, if I used the zoom tool, the eyedropper changes to zoom as the cursor leaves the Colour to Alpha Colour Picker window, and zoom becomes active.
How do I pick a colour from the image?
I have CS3 on a PC and need to recolour a portion of a picture so that part of the picture is coloured in a Pantone colour and not the red as it is now. I have tried using Hue and Saturation and colour balance, but unable to make just my selection a Pantone colour.

So for example if i cut out an object from one picture that has pretty warm lighting environment, and put it in a cold light background it will look pretty out of place obviously, and this is what I would like to resolve.
or how to position a picture in a specific location within a background picture.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat I want to do, is take the path tool, make a pattern around a picture (which is rectangle) placing it on a picture of a board like this...and then pull the picture horizontally, and vertically, to make it circular, to fit the perimeter of the board. If I understand it correctly, when you use the path tool...it allows you to make an image round (from rectangular) is that true?
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen I opened up a picture I had drawn to start colouring it, it was being displayed in wrong colours.
It seems to be lighter and has more yellow and red in it.
I dont recall changing anything.
This is only how the image is displayed though when you look at it on photoshop. Because after you save it, you can open in in paint or whatever and its back to its original colours.
If i start a brand new picture from scratch, and then save it and open it up in another programme the picture is significantly darker and bluer.
So I think it has something to do with the way that photoshop is viewing the picture.
Heres an example using a random magazine picture:
I want to change the colour of a picture frame (black) around the outside of an image and I am trying to use a (blue) from a 2nd image to do so. The 2nd image is an edited version of the !st image saved under a different name. PSPRo X .This is my work flow :-
1 Open 2nd image
2 Click the dropper tool on the 2nd image-the foreground colour in the met palette changes to that colour(blue)
3 Click on foreground colour box
4 Click on background colour box-wanted colour shows-OK.
5 Select flood fill tool
Then the foreground colour changes to white. Not doing step 4 ends up with white too.
I have a picture that I would like to make black and white but with some colour. From what I can gather, I've to make the picture black and white and then add the colour to the bits I need after, however, the bit I want to remain in colour is a flower and the way the light hits it, the red is in different shades, making it impossible for me to colour it back exactly how it is.
Is there a simpler way...like select the parts I want to go black and white?
would like to use it to start making my pics stand out more. My first experiment is to make a colour pic into black and white, THEN bring back the original colours in certain parts of the pic. ie i have a pic of an old steam train, and i want to leave the surroundings in colour, but turn the steam train in the picture to black and white. I have been advised on less photoshop specific forums, to turn the whole pic to B&W, then use the history brush to bring back the colour to the parts of the pic i want to be in colour.

I have this "base" image that is 1920x1080 and i have to place there several (10-12) photos.
i want those photos to be different sizes and rotations and i also want them to have white border and some shadow.
I want those photos to be like in this image that i found from Google: What is the best and fastest way to do this in a gimp.
My printer company is insisting that I convert my image to a CMYK profile.
After a bit of googeling it seems that a good generic CMYK profile might be ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc
And I found a utility to to do the conversion (URL]. However this utility wants to know what the source colour profile is. So, what does the GIMP use? I.e. if I create a new .XCF and paste in some images and do a bit of painting etc, and then save it as a .JPG, what profile will it be in?
Is the answer none? But I still need something for this utility. Or is it sRGB? There seems to be several variations.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an image which I want to display using only a limited set of specific colours which I have defined in a colour palette. I am aware of the colour map plugin, but from what I can gather from the documentation it simply uses each pixels luminosity as an index. I want to to map each pixel to the colour in my palette that most closely represents the original colour. How do I do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't find a way to import an .icc into my GIMP work.
I want to do this so that the pictures on my computer monitor match as closely as possible to the prints from my local (high-end) print shop. My screen is Spyder calibrated.
I'm trying;
Image >>> Mode >>> Convert To Colour Profile >>> (and then from the pop-up box) >>> Convert to ... (and then from the pop-up box) >>> Select Colour Profile From Disk
... and then I select the new .icc (provided to customers on the print shop's website) from a Downloads folder on my local drive.
That all sounds right doesn't it?
It stubbornly remains on sRGB.icc
I've also tried the process in;
Edit >>> Preferences >>> Colour Management
Same result - ignores the selection of a new .icc and remains stuck on sRGB.icc.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using indexed mode to save 8-bit png files for the web, just as one would through the Save For Web interface in photoshop. sometimes it works brilliantly, usually when very few colors. but sometimes it changes some of the most dominant colors in the image. for example, if i make an image with background in #f3f3f3, two antialiased type layers in different colors, flatten the image and switch to indexed mode the background will change to something like f3f201 or whatever depending on the colors of the type layers (even if i choose 256 colors...).
EDIT: ok those exact instructions didn't actually replicate the problem this time that i tried it, but nonetheless the problem exists. if no one recognises it i will save the file it occurs to next time so you can all replicate the problem.
EDIT 2: happened immediately. i have attached a png of the file, even if you set it to 256 colors, switching to indexed mode will change the white background to #fefffc. once again, one could go into the color map and change it back to pure white, but to be completely correct one needs to change every color in the shadows (and antialiasing) that fade into the white, which will also have been offset by the switch to indexed mode.
