Hi there. Can someone who is an expert with Gimp help me with a problem? I have pasted an image of an iridology chart below. I want to remove the white from this image altogether, so that the white layer is totally transparent. When I overlay this on the image of an iris, I will therefore be able to see the black lines and labels, but not the white, which will be transparent, showing the image of the eye that I have overlaid it on.

Also, is there a way of changing the colour of the black lines to another colour? This isn't essential, but it would be good if I could do this.

If you are able to help with my question, could you give me easy directions about how to do this, as I am not a regular Gimp user.

Thanks!

I'm really frustrated.  I've tried this with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (all I had access to), and now GIMP.

I can't figure out how to select an entire image WITHOUT the white space in GIMP.

The video tutorial (how to make paper miniatures for gaming) is located below. I'm getting stuck at or around 3:30.  The portion of the video dealing with Photoshop is relatively short, so anyone willing to give pointers on how to do anything else in the video would be my hero!






Thank,

I just upgraded to Gimp 2.8.22. Then I downloaded layerfx.2.8.py and copied it to my scripts folder. I shut down and restarted Gimp and did a refresh scripts but the layer effects scripts do not appear. 

Any ideas on how to resolve? This is my first attempt at using scripts and I'd like to get this working so I can try some others. Thanks so much for the help.

BTW, I'm running OS 10.12.6 - Sierra

Hi,

I have a bunch of dark brown colors surrounded by blue. The dark brown regions are not all uniformly dark brown. Is there a way to select a region within the blue outline (the predominantly dark brown) and color it all brown?


Thanks

I downloaded some sheet music which was scanned into jpg format at rather low quality, thus yielding a hardly readable print-out. After applying the GEGL operation "brightness-contrast" with values 3.0 and -1.0, resp., the readability of the print-out improved (though still was not really good).
Now I'd like to apply that function to some more images without doing all those steps manually.
There is a command line for gimp, but I failed to find out which parameters I have to feed into it for that function (and never have I used the gimp commandline before...).
Could you show me how to do that? Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone.
I have a question regarding the Smudge Tool in GIMP 2.8.22 and GIMP Paint Suit by Ramon Miranda.

So, as may be guessing, I use GIMP to paint, and for basic picture editing.
And, I saw in one video by Ramon Miranda, that, he has a diferent version of the Smudge Tool.

He has this "behaviour" in which, if you have two colors next to each other, using the Smudge Tool would blend them and actually mix their tones togrther. For instance, if you have Yellow next to Blue, using Smudge Tool in both would bring a Green tone.
More precisely:

Notice how each colour blends together to create new colors.

Now: I use GIMP 2.8.22 and the latest GIMP Paint Suite. But my Smudge tool doesn't work like that.
So, WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO in order to have this behaviour with the Smudge Tool?

Thanks in advance!
PS: New in the forums.

Please excude my ignorance but I am new to Gimp and graphic design.  I am working on a project and have some basic questions.  I am wanting to know how I can can create a shape cutout and be able to overlay pictures within the shape like the youtube video.  This is the type of project I am doing.  I have the shape drawn and an eps for it.  I am hoping someone might be able to give me a few pointers on how to do this.  Once again, sorry for my lack of knowledge.  I am sure there are proper terms for what I am trying to do but I'm new.

I have tried to find out if I can hide so called image/tab bar on single window mode and when there is only one image open.

The example image (Figure 1.1) at docs.gimp.org shows that the image bar should not be displayed when there is only one image opened: https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-introd...s-new.html

This also seems to be the case on Gimp version 2.8.8 that I have on my Windows 7 PC.

But when I have installed a later stable Gimp 2.8 on my Ubuntu Linux 16.04 laptop, the image/tab bar becomes displayed always, even when only one image is open.

So, was this an option only on version 2.8.8?

Or is there a way to hide the image/tab bar when only one image is open?

Or is there at least way to move the image/tab bar to some other location (e.g. to left of image window)?

This is the tutorial I'm trying to use. On the "Text Shading" step, he creates layers above the text layer, and puts them in value mode. He then applies the gradient/blur tool to this layer, and it affects the text layer underneath it. I haven't been able to recreate this for some reason. I noticed that in the picture the layer mode is actually set to multiply, but even by doing this, I can't get the gradient applied to the text. When I make the layer, it defaults to transparent, could this be why?

Thanks, any help is appreciated.

Hi!

I'm working for the first time with script-fu. I have an image from which I want to cut several parts and past them subsequently as new layers. Afterwards I'd like to manipulate those newly pasted layers but I cannot address them. I tried it in the  following way
