[Gimp-user] Color Selection with color to alpha

2011-02-16 Thread Suntot
Well, I am new at this. Not even sure if what I am attempting is possible. 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

[Gimp-user] Loading/indexing fonts everytime GIMP starts

Bloomin Forum software has mangled the file format I posted! It removes anything that looks like HTML. So, if I replace less-than and greater-than signs with square brackets, then maybe I can get away with it: [?xml version="1.0"?] [!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"] [fontconfig] [!-- se

[Gimp-user] Loading/indexing fonts everytime GIMP starts

2011-02-16 Thread Stuart
It turns out that the correct solution IS to create a file called local.conf in \Program Files\GIMP-2.0\etc\fonts - although Mario dismissed that in his post above. Apparently, you should not edit fonts.conf (as suggested above) because it is a dynamically generated file and will be replaced by

No! There are some plugins that attempt to align images for HDR purposes, but I have not found anything adequate to the job of focus stacking. I use this technique a great deal in producing photographs of insects to illustrate keys. If you want open source, try Hugin. You can use align_image_st

When I click on Image > Scale Image, the window pops up with fields in which I type in the pixel (or whatever) dimensions. Once I've typed it in, I move my mouse pointer to "save" or "cancel" to apply or cancel the changes. Isn't there, perhaps, a way to simply apply those changes by simply h

The save dialogs in gimp detect the file type by the extension of the file name automatically. So if you name your file "myfile.xcf" it will be a gimp xcf file, if you name it "myfile.tif" it will be a TIFF file, "myfile.jpg" for JPG In your case you can "save as..." with, for example, "my
