I wonder how many actually looked at your image. It is very small, so do not expect a great result. Hope you have a larger, better version. First thing, it is grayscale and to do any work on it, change the mode to RGB (Image menu -> Mode). As previous posts, Colors menu -> Color-to-Alpha will remove the gray background, even using the default setting, and a Layer menu -> Transparency - > Alpha-to-Selection will then select the pentagram for filling with a new colour. Big but...The quality of the posted jpeg is horrible, lots of artifacts resulting in semi-transparent pixels all over. Tweaking with the curves tool will improve the image. The only real way is to re-draw using the original as a template. Not difficult, several ways to do it. Using an old netbook and Gimp 2.6, in a few minutes while watching TV. Could be better. http://www.mediafire.com/view/dlc0ygm1ffcdv3w/penta.xcf The top layer is plain, a second layer has been bumpmapped to give a more 'golden' effect. Too many jaggies, that is what happens with small (200x200 pix) images. _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
