Hi guys,

I'm new to this. I've been using the following method to cut a product out of a picture and make the background transparent:

Add Alpha Channel
Select Product image i want to keep using Free Select
Feather Image by 5,000 px
Invert
Clear

and this method has been working great until today where I have carried out the above method but when I put 5,000 px in Feather it won't accept it and keeps changing it to "50.00" px and then when I Invert and go to clear it makes the image a little transparent but I can still see the background. I have to keep pressing Clear 10 times until the image background is completely gone and then export but the image quality suffers and I'm wondering what I am doing wrong?

To try and fix this I have reinstalled GIMP twice (to a different directory the second time) and gone to Edit -> Preferences and Reset everything but I'm still having the same problem.

HELP! And thanks in advance.

Just a bit of fun.
There have been a couple of posts about adding text around a watch face. The last comment was, "too complicated, will do it manually". That is always an option, good option at that, however for a bit of fun, a font twenty-four-hours.ttf  with the essentials mapped to key rows. Not all that complicated

   

Something for everyone.
24 hours for those travelers who turn up at 3 pm for a 1pm flight / Minutes for those who do not understand '20-to-12' / Military type option for joggers.

Using an script Pathrotator2.scm  and ofnuts plugin ofn-text-along-path.py. Pathrotator is in the attachment along with the font. Ofnuts plugin, get from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pat...s/scripts/   

A couple of short videos that might help. 
https://youtu.be/iDPWaL9pXIo  demo using Pathrotator (and its quirks)  duration 3 minutes
https://youtu.be/fsoba37vcEE  demo using of-text-along-path-multi duration 5 minutes.

When using the twenty-four-hour.ttf font with 'Keep upright - Yes' also select 'Height Reference - Middle of Box' otherwise unpredicable results. (you have been warned)

While Inkscape 1.0 supports multicolour icons, it is not accepting mine which I created as per

https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php...icon_theme

It is all black even though the icon has 2 colours


   

I think it needs

Quote:Add a color class to all paths, or unset the fill. If no class is set, the default class .base will be used.

EDIT - after posting, I realized I posted to the wrong forum.  I'll try to contact the Admins to get it moved/removed.

Hi all, I'm using GIMP 2.10.8  on  Mac 0S Sierra 10.12.2.  

How can I create a series of lines that radiate from the canvas center, and mark out equal segments of a circle? (I've put in place a horizontal and vertical guide, with the snap to guides turned on)

I've drawn two line segments, one that crosses the center of the canvas, and one that begins in the center of the canvas.  But the rotate tool is based on a point in the center of my line segment.  

ps - there is a video that shows how to do something like this, but there is no sound (!) and my eyes aren't good enough to see what s/he is actually doing. (I hope in this case it's ok I'm posting a link, I think it's the best way to explain)

Thank you very much

(I have some experience using photoshop, and I've made a flyer and a business card so far with GIMP.)

I have 2 images. One big and one small. I had to use them together. So I have to resize the small one. Everything is fine. The only problem is the scaled image looks a bit out of focus. So I tried Sharpen (unmask ). It didn't go well. The image become distorted with hue.

Now I tried to sharpen with synthesis. But it is giving me this error continuously


   

I tried with all other layers off, but the same error. Is there any method to fix this issue ? Thanks.

Hey, I have a quick question concerning the regular brushes, specifically those with hardness 25, 50, 75. Is it possible to invert them? As in instead of them going from their colour to fading radially, having them go from transparent to their colour?

I tried the reverse option in the tool options/dynamic options and to reverse the gradient but it did nothing.

   

Picture is of the kind of brush I'm talking about for clarity, I'd like to have it go from say transparent to black, as opposed to the normal colour into fading.

Thanks!

I need to extract red cell tower from this image. What is the most effective way to remove background?

I'm working on a huge (14'x8') image that I'm slicing down into individual standard US Letter size fragments. I need to export the layers created this way to a PDF with each layer as a page. When I do this, the individual pages it creates seem to keep the main canvas size of the huge image as the page size, rather than the boundary of each layer. Is there anything I can do to make each layer's boundary the size of its page in the PDF? I'd like to avoid having to manually crop each page, since there are 224 of them.

Thank you in advance!
