[Gimp-user] Sampling Toned Images
I was following a tutorial on Gimp Guru's I think it was, on copying tones from a sample image to your own. However, when I went to (Colors?/Map/Sample Colorize) and looked for the sample image in the drop down box, it wasn't there. I don't know how to get it into the drop down box for selection. Can anyone provide some help with this? Or maybe you might be able to instruct me in this whole procedure or direct me to another tutorial that can.

I have the same version as you do. What I did was save a sample file from the site I was on to use in my learning. All I did was save it in the same directory as my own image but maybe I need to store that sample image in a specific location in order to access it for this purpose? -Bryan -- Bryan (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I opened my image, then I opened the sample tone image. They are now in 2 separate image panes, so to speak. I positioned them side by side. Then in my own image I go to Colors/Map/Sample Colorize and a Sample Colorize view opens up. In that view I see on the left side is my original image described as the "Destination Image". On the right side is what is described as the "Sample Image" but it shows my image in that one too. If I open up the drop down selector above the sample image, the only choices I have are My own image file name, or From Gradient, or From Reverse Gradient. How would I select the Sample Image which I opened as step two and is actually in a different window next to my original image? Sorry, I probably made this very confusing and I truly appreciate your patience for a rookie like me. -Bryan - - - - - - - - -- Bryan (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

It's not a GIF but rather it's a png. The guy that made the tutorial offered these images with different tones that anyone could use. But they are png's and that isn't working. I tried just another raw file and when I did the Sample Colorize routine, in the sample section, my other raw file showed up like it should. So now I need to hunt down some sample files I can use. I wonder why he would have offered png files if they don't even work for the routine for which he was trying to teach. Maybe there is something I missed in there. -Bryan > > > -- Bryan (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

No, location is irrelevant. You need to open both images in GIMP, both the sample image as well as the the image you want to colorize. The drop down boxes in question show a list of all opened images and the layers contained therein. regards, peter ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Please check the Image->Mode menu and make shure it is set to RGB. That's an ugly pitfall, because many operations only work on RGB images and GIF images are loaded as "indexed color images" (=256 color only). Same goes for grayscale images. regards, peter ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

But if you open the sample image you want to use, but which is not showing up properly, and from the main menu, select images and from the choices of the image menu select mode, in what mode--indexed, RGB, or grayscale--is the ~.png sample file? If it is NOT RGB, change the type so that it is RGB, and see what happens. ns ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
