> Here is the jpg: > http://wexfordpress.com/Cover3.jpg I tried the simplest thing: select by color, clicking on the text, and it selected the text and only the text. Then I copied the selection and pasted it back on a white background in a new layer. Image/Colors/Desaturate makes it black on white; or you could change the image mode to grayscale. Or you could paste the original selection on a transparent background ... (or even into a new image). Is this what you were looking for? -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzs Home Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/ Photo Gallery _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
