The procedure in GIMP is virtually identical. I'll paste the most relevant part here, adjusted for GIMP: --- A selection of the entire image is created by choosing Select/All. The image is now copied by choosing Edit/Copy. A new channel is created by clicking on the Create new channel icon at the bottom of the Channels dockable (see Figure 5). The channel should be renamed the Contrast channel. The image is now pasted into the Contrast channel by selecting that channel and choosing Edit/Paste, going to the Layers dockable and clicking the Anchor icon. Next, it is necessary to invert the black and white image by choosing Colors/Invert. --- _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
