how to re-color some parts of a image ....

[saint_m]

hello dear Rich2005

first of all: many many thanks for the quick reply and for your incredible help. This is really awesome - and i learn alot.

btw: the videoclip is very impressive - and shows many important steps.


especially the step: "select the color (of the background)" and "erase it!" - this is pretty important!

thank you



What it shows:

Quote:Check the alpha-channel Layer -> Transparency - OK it has one
The trick: Scale the layer up 200% Image -> Scale image Use Interpolation = NoHalo
Color Select the background and Edit -> Cut to delete it
Select -> Invert and click on a dot to select.
Fill the selection with color (black)
Select -> None
The trick: Scale the image down to 50% back to original size, the interpolation (NoHalo) adds anti-aliasing.

on a sidenote: btw: plz plz plz. keep this video clip alive:

i have had situations wehere some guys on the net produced helperclips (videoclips) that were very helpful - but they vanished one or two days after publishing date - what a pidy.




dear Rich 2005 thank you for all your continued help!! You are a Gimp-Hero!!



i also will have a closer look at the c2a things

Quote: Use Color-to-Alpha (C2A) to remove a single color background when possible. It keeps semi-transparency including the edge anti-aliasing. For your image, some color is also removed. Fixed to a certain amount using C2A opacity slider but this can also removes anti-aliasing. Up to the user to decide what is acceptable.

thanks for all - keep up your superb work here..
