Re: [Gimp-user] Error: Blend Does Not Operate On Index Layer

2010-06-08 Thread Jozef Legény
Many color operations do not work on the Indexed images, due to the
limitations induced by the palette.

What you need to do is to transform the image to use the RGB
colorspace. To do this open your image and in the menu use Image -
Mode - RGB

Also note that GIF images are indexed by default, so in order to use
color operations with gifs you need to work with a xcf file and then
export the final image.

Cheers
Jozef

Looks like you set compatibility mode on gimp-2.6.exe for some reason -
right-click it, choose Properties and disable any compatibility settings.

Never mind I found it! It was set for Windows 95 compatibility. It works fine
now.

The compatibility settings are not set in gimp itself, it is a windows
setting. You right click on the GIMP shortcut, go to properties and
set it from there.

Do you know why it had been set to Windows 95?

[Gimp-user] Text to Path.,..add color

2010-06-08 Thread Mark
I have found the simple answer and I post it for anyone that might, like
myself, have over looked the obvious. 

Ignore the Tool Box and click Select and in the Drop Menu choose From Path.

Choose the color, select the fill tool and click once on the text, you'll
see
the ants marching when the tect is selected. 


Thank you, Bill. I tried many way to accomplish this and it appears your
solution is the only one viable.

[Gimp-user] Changing a dark colour

2010-06-08 Thread gvernold
Been beating my head against a wall having followed seven tutorials on the net
on changing colors in an image and none of them work.

I have an image of a boot footprint which originated from a grayscale image
in photoshop. I have converted it to RGB. The boot print is really quite dark
but I want to change it to a light green color.

Every method I have tried so far has changed the color of the almost white
bits but not changed the dark patches (most of the image).

Can anybody help with this, thanks.

The select by colour tool should let you select the dark colour you are
looking for. Then you can replace the selected region by replacing it
with the foreground or background colour. I don't know if this was one
of the methods you already tried though.

Try creating a new layer filled with the colour you want and set its
layer mode to Grain Merge.

Are you trying to simply colorize the image? There's a tool called
'Colorize' in the tools menu, and it should work fine in that case.
Move the lightness and saturation sliders towards right, and then pick
the hue you want, and you should get the results you are looking for.
