I 'open as layers' an image (a .bmp if that matters), use the rectangle-select tool to outline a portion of the image, then press Delete (or click Edit/Clear), expecting that my selection will be erased, but instead it deletes the entire picture.
I've been at this for an hour. "They" say that doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result is evidence of insanity...
Right after one makes a selection, say by using the Rectangle SelectTool, is presented with handles that allow altering the selection.
If one then selects another tool without deselecting is being deprivedof these handles while the selection remains active thus rendering himunable to alter the selection in that fashion.
Thus forming my question: is there a way to make these handles to(re-)appear on a non-freshly created selection?
I have a photograph as my background layer, and then a shape layer on top of that. I want to put a font layer on top of the shape, select the font, and then delete the selection on the shape layer, so whenever I hide the font, the photograph shows through the shape, but every time I do it, no matter the tolerance, the font that is in the shape looks pixelated. I've reset all of my settings, but I'm not sure what to do.

I still need to work out on the alert prompt and the if statement, but for now, I have the feeling that the selection.length keep changing each time Illustrator delete an object, and I don't know how to make it stick.
var selection = app.activeDocument.selection;
//alert prompt dialog for a percentage of deletion
for (var i = 0; i < selection.length; i++) {
if (Math.random < 0.5) { //need to work out the percentage
alert("yes")
selection[i].remove();
}

I am trying to create a very simple logo. Basically, I created two layers: one with the letter M and the other with the letter W. I now want to place another letter over top of them and then select it so I can delete the shape of the third letter from the other two and essentially be able to see the transparent background through the third letter.
I have done this in PS CS2 no problem, but I am trying to do it in illustrator so I can resize the design for anything from a business card to a billboard if needed. Bottom line is I need a solution that wont effect me being able to resize the vecotr to crazy sizes.
In the image below, the "S" is just a white letter. I need it to be a cut out through the M and W so that whatever Background it is on the page or document shows through that S space.
It does not matter if I shift and click left or right, the selection will not highlight in order to move to edit or to delete. It just stopped suddenly.

Or a way to use the keyboard to move the selected option? I know about the keyboard shortcut, Alt Ctrl Shift Delete, just wondering if there is a way to mess with the pop-up window selection. I have LR4 on a mac.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI can't find a way in Gimp 2.4 to delete all invisible layers, is there one?
When working with a slightly complex file I use to have multiple layers which I show, hide and duplicate as needed. After a while my layers dialog gets cluttered and I need to delete layers I don't need anymore, most of these layers are invisible and going one by one to delete takes much time, an option to remove all invisible layers would be great.
There's an option to delete invisible layers on "Image > Merge Visible Layers" but this, as the name says, merges all other layers.
I want to delete a layer in a banner. I am a novice with gimp and looked to a tutorial to find out how. It says:
Go to File > Dialogs > Choose Layers or just hit CTRL-L. This opens up the Layers Dialog (or window).
The problem is there is no dialogue option in file. I do not know what to do.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a very small scale, and need to find a way to make an image which consists of 4 colors, randomly spread around the 16x16 pixels.
I have not been abel to get the desired affect with any of the noise filters, so I was thinking I could make 4 layers, one with each color, delete the parts I don't want and just merge them down.
Now, with such a small scale, I could do the work by hand, but I have to repeat the process at least a dozen times, and I want it to look truly random.
How do you delete saved image files from Gimp once you are finished with them ?
My 'Document History' is so cluttered with unwanted files they are now appearing on my Desktop ! I have used edit - clear ... but the files remain as a blank transparency & I cannot find a way to remove them entirely.
When I right click downloaded brushes the options Duplicate Brush and Delete brush are greyed out and when I click Edit Brush I can't change anything. That is a problem because from the more than two hundred brushes I have right now I only need/like about 20 or 30. Those options are available only in brushes I created myself, by the way.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI edited some photos today using GIMP 2.8.
I am now unable to delete the edited photos, rename the edited photos, or move the edited photos to another folder. Basically, they are stuck in their spot. I'm not even able to pull up the "Properties" selection from right-clicking the edited photo.
I tried to open them using IrfanView, but when I go to delete the photo using that program, it makes it not respond.
I can open the photo up in Paint, save it as a different format, and delete it - but the original edited photo is still there.
How can I move and delete edited photos? I've never ran into this problem in all the years I've been using GIMP.
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 :
[URL]....
I'd like to delete the facebook thing and replace it. But I don't know how to do it. I thought I would select and delete but the result is terrible because the color is not uniform, take a look at this :
[URL]....
The top of the sheet is okay, the rest is not...
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.

I have followed this tutorial [URL] To delete the background which is white in this case. The area was selected with fuzzy tools, then transparency added. Deleted background. All worked well. Problem is, saving as a jpg will not include a white background, which I DO not want.
I want to import this image into Inkscape, and have the background on my business card to show up to the edge of the jpg image I have on the card.
So what can I save this image that had its background deleted into another format that does NOT add white as a background and imported into Inkscape?
Is it possible to delete/clear contents outside visible work path easy way?
Sometimes when you create stuff, move stuff, import and cut images something is left outside visible work path. For example, in Adobe Photoshop it could be easily deleted with select tool + delete. Even non visible leftovers that is outside work area.
I started using Gimp yesterday and sure some things are SO irritating after long use of other image editing softwares.. I just can not figure out how people get used to it (Gimp).
Long way would be to move layer contents so you could see those "leftovers" and then it allows you to select them and delete. Then move back image where it was previously. But even after deleting those lefovers why the hell GIMP would select layer size according to "what it was at first" not what's acual dimensions of non transparent area?

View 12 Replies View RelatedI've read that to "drop" a selection tool, you choose "Select" "None". But very often "None" is not available to select, so how do you get rid of the tool when it goes wherever you go, like a piece of chewing gum stuck to your shoe?
I've tried clicking it, double-clicking, clicking outside the image, pressing escape, it won't go away, so I have to close the image and start again.
That's the gif. In the upper right is the white corner I need to get rid of. It shows in every frame of the gif
I don't know where to begin. I've tried selecting it, and making it transparent, but that doesn't seem to have any affect, so I think it might be deep-set into the image in some way. It's not just white paint on top of the layer.
Is it possible to get a offset from a selection? Something like the very useful offset tool in Google sketch up?
