  I can't turn the black background into transparent
Posted by: soursop - 10-13-2018, 05:33 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (2)

Using Gimp 2.10 on Mac.

How can I remove the black background in this image? I want it to be transparent.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/t0ku...s.png?dl=0


In my Colors menu, the "Color to Alpha" option is not selectable.
I tried Bucket tool, Color Erase, but that doesn't seem to work. I'm such a rookie.

  Installing GAP (4.9.3) Gimp-GAP Gimp 2.10
Posted by: Captain Spire - 10-13-2018, 02:27 AM - Forum: Extending the GIMP - Replies (9)

I've never installed a plugin before and the videos I have seen for it all are over 3 years old and do not have the folder layout or explain how to get GAP to work with Gimp.  I have searched a bit here and I'm either not typing in the right criteria or not searching hard enough.

GAP is installed but I seem to need to get the folders and files into the GIMP one.   Thank you for any help and glad to be here.

I am using:

Windows 7
Gimp 2.10.6
GAP 4.9.3

Posted by: silverbirch - 10-12-2018, 01:08 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

hi
I have a figure on a white background...

is there any easy way to superimpose that on another pic ?

The only way I know is to use lasoo but it will be a little
difficult as part of the image is a cigarette holder etc.

thanks for any comment or advice

Is it possible to chose bold text with a toggle button so I don't have to click on bold every time I type a new text in the same picture? Thanks in advance. Gimp 2.10.6 / windows 10

  Colors issue
Posted by: Defacta - 10-11-2018, 09:02 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Hello,

Sometimes I have colors issue like that, most of time it happens when I have a lot of image opened and I must not save the image if not it will save with the bugs.

[Image: c4s8T18.jpg]

And unfortunately for this image I have saved with theses colors issues.

Is there anything I can do to get back the image without the squares ?

Thanks,
Vincent.

Question Adding Tools to the Toolbox?
Posted by: Kloe - 10-11-2018, 06:07 PM - Forum: Gimp 2.10 - Replies (2)

Hi! I'm new to this forum so I appologise if I've put this in the wrong place... ^-^;

I recently updated to 2.10.6 and I realised that some tools aren't on the toolbar anymore. However, they also won't show up in the toolbar preference menu, tools I use a lot like: HueSaturation Hue-Saturation, Colorize Colorize and Posterize Posterize.

Is there any way to add these back into the toolbar? It seems weird that they wouldn't even be options anymore and is a little inconvinient... 
Thanks in advance! -Kloe♥

  Out of gamut
Posted by: b60 - 10-10-2018, 10:33 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Gimp 2.8, using soft proofing via Color Management in Edit. I set the monitor profile and the ICC values for the printer and paper. The printer I use uses only sRGB. On some of my photos there are quite a bit of out-of-gamut sections. is there a fix for this? I've read that converting to CMYK and then back to sRGB will solve it, but I don't know how to do this in Gimp?

Thanks in advance for any help!

  Changing A Color
Posted by: Ricebug - 10-10-2018, 05:42 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (5)

I have a map of Salem, Oregon, and am trying to trace the railroad tracks with a different color. In the map, the tracks are barely legible. Is there a way to pick the color and then globally change the map so that the tracks show up better?

I realize that other parts of the map may be affected. Not an issue, as I'm only focused on the RR tracks themselves. Not an issue, as I'm only focused on the RR tracks themselves.

  Burn tool Glitch with layers
Posted by: GorFrag - 10-09-2018, 11:13 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (6)

When I start an image I can use the Dodge/Burn tool as normal. However once I use a layer of any sort, even once I merge all layers the Burn tool now can only give me hard edges.

I can find no way to reset that.

I run it on a Asus windows ten rig.
