Just for grins I took a copy of the sample image that was uploaded and made the gold bits transparent. It was easy, because I selected everything /but/ the "gold" and then inverted the selection. Using the Select By Color tool, click once to select all the black, then hold down the shift key to select the blue and etc. There will be stray pixels that did not get selected, due to color variations produced by anti-aliasing. So, zoom WAY in and start selecting those strays with the same tool, holding the shift key down of course, until everything you want to keep is selected. That took me a minute or two. Then do Select > Invert and viola, a precise selection of the "gold" only, to do with as ye will. :o) _______________________________________________ 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
