I am trying to change a specific color in an image. If I use 'color selection' the edges don't change color. So I am trying to use color to alpha... But, when I select by color, it seems to select all similar color in the area, thus when I add a new layer it does the change the color I wanted to change, but it also changes the rest of the image with a similar color tone. What can I do to precisely select a specific color or portion of an image with color to alpha? Color-to-alpha only applies to the selection, so you can restrict its effects by doing a selection first. For instance to remove a background, use the wand to get a rough selection of the background, grow the selection by a couple of pixels so that it includes the edges of the foreground, and perform color-to-alpha. I tried doing a selection but since both colors are similar it selects all. Changed selection thresholds and it still doesn't work. Here is what I am trying to change: http://www.weddingclipart.com/wca/edittemplate.do?template=218069 I am trying to change the colors of the scrolls on the wedding invitation. The dark blue into a red, the lighter into a black. Yet I can't seem to get it to work flawlessly. Please help. thanks --big snip Conceal the trickery by flipping the clipart vertically :-) Unless someone has a better solution? -- Bertrand You can get a 'reasonable' result in Gimp. The colours actually select quite well and I found painting over with a large brush better than a bucket fill. Still those annoying pixels around the dark blue area spoil it. A better solution? Best results by far were with inkscape so maybe OP should consult the inkscape people. my attempt here http://imgur.com/UPWO2 ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user -- rich (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] How to install gimp plugins, scripts?
I've been using gimp under different versions of Fedora Linux for years. I just installed Fedora 14 on a new computer with all the accompanying gimp packages I could think of. I think I included essentially all of them. But I seem to be having problems finding things. 1. I downloaded the Exposure Blend Plugin. I put it in my personal .gimp-2.6/plug-ins directory. The instructions say I can find it by going to [Toolbox]/Xtns/Photography/Exposure Blend... I can't find Xtns in the toolbox. Where should I look for it? 2. I downloaded pandora-combine-0.9.3.scm and put it as instructed in my personal .gimp-2.6/scripts directory. But I can't find it in gimp. I suppose I'm just being stupid, but I've used pandora before, so this is rather frustrating. -- Leonard Evens l...@math.northwestern.edu Professor Emeritus, Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I just had a look at that script and it shows (script-fu-menu-register script-fu-pandora-combine _Image/Filters/Combine) So did you look Image-Filters-Combine? -- Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

That produced the following message. Plug-in script-fu (/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu) attempted to register the menu item Image/Filters/Combine for procedure script-fu-pandora-combine. The menu label given in gimp_install_procedure() already contained a path. To make this work, pass just the menu's label to gimp_install_procedure(). ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
