If the background is the only white in the image, you can do: Colors > Color to alpha That will make the white background transparent in one go. If your foreground image does have some white in it, you can select the white area(s), followed by Select > Invert. Then the above command will not affect the white bits of the foreground image. :o) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Why? > The parametric brush editor is not the way to re-size a brush for use with the clone tool in Gimp 2.8.x It is a bit of a hang-over from Gimp 2.6. For reference, the stock brushes are not-editable. Right click on the brush, make a copy and that copy is editable if needed . Otherwise, using the clone tool and the small fuzzy brush, 1. Natural size of brush is 51 (25 radius) 2. Using the tool options, the size can be adjusted as required. You can also adjust the size without re-sampling.

[Gimp-user] Change Brush Size - Grayed out?
I'm trying to use the clone tool to make some touchups but can't figure out how to change the brush size. If I double click on the brush it opens the 'Brush Editor' and I get a dialog that shows options like Radius, Hardness, Aspect Ratio, etc. but all of these options are disabled/grayed out. Why? Thanks! Craig PS. Yes, I've read this post about brush size in general but I don't really want to reprogram my mouse to adjust brush size. I like the default functionality. http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-user/17876-changing-the-brush-sizes Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/636/original/gimp.png -- cme0848 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Would you please report it or explain how to join that? The histogram is extremely important that it updates as adjustments are made, or else it is just guessing, undo, guess again, undo . . . -- mikeholder (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] How to Select a squwed image and correct it
Hi, I am pretty new to Gimp. What I would like to do is take a photo with my S8 and then when I get it on my desktop, be able to cut out the part that I want, maybe add some annotations and save it for use on my website. I took a photo of my friends business card as he wants to use it on his mobile website. The photo is not properly centered and I just want the square part - SEE attachment. I have tried to select the area and crop it - but I keep failing. What would be the best way to do this ? Many thanks for helping a newbie :) Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/635/original/Flav_italy1a.jpg -- Dave_London (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

[Gimp-user] Histogram not updating
In the version 2.9.5 I noticed the histogram was not updating as I was making adjustment, like brightness/contrast, levels, etc. Is there a setting somewhere I need to set? I remember very well in 2.8 the histogram auto updates as I make adjustments. -- mikeholder (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
