Yes and no - it's exactly that sort of user-interface I am looking for,
but to be able to set the hue of an existing graphic.

If I go into Layer-Colours-Hue/Saturation, then click 'Master', moving the
'Hue' slider bar alters the hue of the whole graphic (which is one single
colour on a white background).  I want to do this effect, with a colour
chooser interface.  Is that possible?

[Gimp-user] Re-hue-ing a graphic

2008-04-09 Thread Jonathan Allen
Hi All,

Can anyone help me to do this?  I look after a small on-line magazine
and they have a mast-head logo at the top of several pages.  This is
in colour, but only different saturations of the same colour.  Each
month, the print-designer changes the colour of the text headlines
and the mast-head to match.

I can always see the HTML colour selected (color=#XX) for the text
and need to track the masthead colour to match.  How do I get the Gimp
to exactly track that hex colour - is there somewhere I can input it
as a value and just it promulgated through the graphic at the existing
saturation and lightness?

But that selects all the black text in the guf, not just the one letter
I need to colour.  That was why I had started with a hard-drawn selection
to isolate just the one letter.

OK, I did that and colour-to-alpha turned on, but what I selected it, first
it squared off the hand-drawn selection to include bits of other letters and
secondly, it had made up its own mind about what was background and foreground
so that I couldn't get at the black letter but only the white paper.

[Gimp-user] Newbie Question

2005-07-10 Thread Jonathan Allen
Hi All,

I have a first-time question.  In general terms, how can I change all the
pixels of one colour within a hand-drawn selection into another colour ?

In specific terms, I have a gif file containing some black-on-white text.
I want to be able to colour various parts of the black text to be red-on-
white, or blue-on-white (whatever) for emphasis.  I can't do that colouring
on the originating system, so need to uyse the GIMP to do it.

I tried the colour-to-alpha idea suggested in the first background-colour
change tutorial, but colour-to-alpha is greyed out and I don't how know
to get past that, if it is the right way to go.

Any suggestions ?
