Re: [Gimp-user] mebbe easy - replace car color but preserve highlights
Layers>Colors options offer many ways to accomplish this task. Pick your green car (by the way isn't it Volvo?) with color picking tool (Shift+O) and change some settings like hue; you can desaturate and then colourize your selection.

Is there a way to do this? Basically, for the car itself, for whatever fraction of green a certain pixel has, I want to change that green to something else. I might use a plain blue as the replacement, but it would mix "realistically" - hopefully.

If images are equal size and coordinates are the same, you can do this manually, I think. Just remember coordinates from selection. Select area in first image, copy it, make selection of the same size and location in second one and then paste. And you can make separate layer from that pasted part for fine tuneing.

Make sure the layer you are working with has an alpha channel (Right click the layer in the layers dialog->Add alpha channel). 2. After making the selection (oval, scissors, or whatever), invert the selection. (Cntrl-I or Menu->Select->Invert) 3. Cut everything else out (Cntrl-X). Now these regions will all be transparent, leaving only what you want. 4. Invert the selection again (Cntrl-I) returning to your original selection. 5. Copy that (Cntrl-C) and try pasting it.

Re: [Gimp-user] Adding a watermark and copyright info...
Wouldn't it be more convenient just open image, press t for text tool and write your copyright info. Then you can reduce text layer's opacity and then save whole picture in any format. 2006.05.16 11:56, Mirageii parašė: > Thanks for the replies. > > I've searched and found a few GIMP Documentations but none has any > information about creating a watermark on images, and even fewer has any > mentions of simply adding text to an image. > > >From awhile ago when i was at a bookstore i remember picking up a book on > > the GIMP.

Re: [Gimp-user] Mosaic of Images
This message should be sent for mailing list, not personally me. Check when sending, Paul:) REDIRECTING... Actually, I think there is a way to make a mosaic although I've never tried it. Funny that you asked this question because I was looking it up yesterday. There's an image mosaic plug-in for Gimp. Check out: http://www.kirchgessner.net/photo-mosaic.html . Let me know if you're successful at all.
