[URL] how to fade the edges in the way I want to, I can fade them one by one in each layer and then select all, but the result is very unsymmetrical, and the fade effect starts to late and it's in too much quantity.

How do I get it to stay the size I put it at. My goal is to fade the edges and then slide it over to another picture but the whole picture slides over instead of the lasso section.

When I select the photo and apply the fade edge to it, it will only fade on one side, either left or right. What has me confused is I am using the tool the same way I always have but all of a sudden its not working the way it used to.

What I mean is something like this: [URL]....... if you notice the bottom it's fading into black, but i would like to do this to pictures so it slowly faces into complete darkness, or any color really.
I want to blur or fade just one side of a picture to blend into a new header image.
I don't want the picture to look as if it has just been stuck on top of the background....It must look as if it's an integral part of the background.... the picture has a very defined, dark "hard" edge . And I would like to "soften" it ....is that possible?
What techniques are available to integrate a picture into a header background?
When you zoom into the picture that's being edited, scrollbars appear but you can scroll only to the edge of the picture, pixel in pixel this way it's pretty hard to capture the edges with selection

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been using gimp for awhile now and have had great success using itto retouch about a zillion scans of old family photographs. but other than then few things I need in order to do that (paintbrush, clone tool, rotate tool and crop) I am still largely ignorant of how to use gimp. (There's just so much functionality in there, and I'm sure that I don't even have any use for about 90% of it.)
Anyway, a relative just sent me an old old family photo that some nitwit,perhaps a generation or two ago, did some seriously violence to with a pair of scissors. To salvage this one and to make it look presentable I really need to be able to take the scan I have of it and crop it into a oval shape.(Yes, it is a portrait.)
So anyway, how do I do this? It isn't obviously. I already did manage to figure out how to make a selection of the exact size and shape (and location)of oval that I want, and I _did_ make a selection like that... at least I_thought_ that I did... but then when I did crop-to-selection I ended up with the picture cropped to a rectangular shape, where the rectangle in question is, quite apparently, the rectangle which only and exactly contained the oval that I had selected earlier.
I'm sort-of guessing that what I really want is gonna end up being another one of these things that ends up involving multiple layers... yes? I mean of course, what I _really_ want to end up with is an image that _is_ in fact a rectangle, but everything outside of my selected oval has to end up being painted total white (255).
This is a strictly B&W image, BTW... just like all really old family photographs everywhere. How to fade the edges of the oval slowly to white.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have seen several instructions on how to fade a picture to transparent. How I can fade a picture to the exact color of the background, i.e. the edge of the picture disappears and smoothly transitions into the background color? All fading I have tried sofar still leaves an edge of the picture visible, contrasting with the background.

Also as a side note, I am using this at work and at home I am not sure what version I have, but it came with my scanner. I lost my CD key and now I cannot install it or use it. Does anyone know how to replace a key? Will Adobe give me another one?
I've used Paint.net for quite some time, using it mainly for two-tone graphic art or pixel art. Quite a while ago, I created this cool effect that I'll demonstrate with images, however, I have literally completely forgotten how exactly I did it.
Anyway, here's the walk through process of the effect, it's a fade in, making it seem like there are clouds at the bottom of the silhouette that cover the black of the lower layer while doing so in a way that is like a gradient, but of course, not so linear and straight -
Here's the first image, ignore the shaft of light:
The 2nd image shows the silhouette, the shadow of a colossus, if you will. What I want to do is add something that blends the black to the background, so you can't see his feet:
The 3rd image here shows the first layer of fade (and the first layer only), this layer doesn't directly cover up the lower part of the silhouette but it does add some sort of cover for the lower parts of the main silhouette to create a more subtle blend as opposed to straight black over dark green:
This is the 4th image detailing the 2nd fade-layer, still separate from the 1st fade layer just to show them separately:
And finally, the fifth image showing both fade-layers, the silhouette and the background color:
Ok, so that's that. Basically, how did I do that? What did I actually do? I've been playing around with the image for quite a long time, and the whole reason I'm doing this is because I'm recreating the image in a much higher resolution but I want it to be perfect, of course, and want to recreate and remember this effect.
I think, but am not sure, that it may have had something to do with the "Clouds" option, found under "Render". Maybe the Gradient option and blurs.
I want to know how to fade something out. Like how the gradient tool works, but instead of a color, I just want it to be from background to transparent.
Lets say I have a line as my image, and that's all that's there. The background is transparent (no white background, in the program it's displayed as a white/gray grid of small blocks)
___________________
Theres my line. It's nice but I want the ends to smoothly fade out into the transparency. Like this
....,,,,________________,,,,....
I know that's a bad example, but where the line is full and thick is where it is just that. Full, thick, it's the line! But then the comma's, say thats where it starts to fade, by the end of the comma's, the line is 50% transparent. By time it hits the periods its faded by a lot, and goes from 50% transparent, to completely transparent.
I hope you understand what I'm talking about. And for actual use, I wont be fading a straight line. More a a curved design that I've cropped and want to have fade out on the ends.
Every time I use the paint bucket on something, it always leaves a small grey outline on the edges. How to get rid of that?

The burnt DVD plays fine on the computer as well.
When I play it on a DVD player & TV I lose about 6 or 7 percent of the picture edges all the way round. I have tried it in 3 different DVD player/TV combinations with same results.
I have tried burning with VS itself & Nero - same results. It is relevant as the file is of still with text that goes very close to the edge.

Simple case: I have a red circle
I want to select a band say 6 pixels thick all the way around the circle
Now i need to fade from the inner edge of the selection to the outer edge so that completely transparent
I am left with a red circle that fades out perfectly and will sit over any background.
Firstly how do i make such a selection? effectively what i want to do is select my shape and then make a buffer of it?
Secondly how do i do the fade part?
If see the symbols that get installed by google earth (or any other nice non square/circle symbols) you will know what im trying to achieve.
I can do these kind of fades quite easily for whole images or with gradients for regular shapes but for something like the shape of a person or car it gets more difficult!
