This works for me (GIMP 2.8.4): Menu windows -> dockable dialogs -> colors; select a yellow foreground color File -> new; choose correct x-y values; Advanced options: Fill with -> foreground color
OR: Fuzzy select color tool; left click on the background to select it Bucket fill tool; in the tool options: check fill with foreground color; check fill whole selection Left-lick On Sat, Jun 8, 2013 at 2:56 PM, Gary Montalbine <gmontalb...@cox.net> wrote: > I have an oval photo here: > > http://knottsislandonline.com/**kiscrapbook/miller.html<http://knottsislandonline.com/kiscrapbook/miller.html> > > I am trying to get the white background changed to yellow to match the web > page.
