[Gimp-user] selection problem

2006-09-25 Thread lode leroy

hi...

I was touching up some scans yesterday and cam accross something new that I 
didn't find

how to do with gimp...

I wanted to remove a small part of the image with a part from somewhere 
else,

by coping a piece of background over it.

so I want to draw a selection ( e.g. using the lasso ) and now I want to use 
that selection
to cut a piece of background somewhere else... but I didn't find how to do 
that.
(I ended up drawing the selection on the background more or less the shape I 
wanted,
but it would have been easier to draw on the target of the copy/paste 
operation)


anyone have suggestions on how to do this?

thanks,

-- lode

Sounds like you want to move the selection outline without moving the content. 
You can do this with the move tool, http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-move.html

Have a look at the tool options, especially the 'Affect' setting.

[Gimp-user] Base type of a wmf image

2006-09-25 Thread Magnus Hellström
I'm using script-fu to load an image to determine the image base type.
It gives me back rgb even if the wmf image is in grayscale.

How come? Can I determine the image type in some other way?

This is the script:

(define (script-fu-wmf-type-check file)
(gimp-message-set-handler 0) 
(set! image (car (file-wmf-load RUN-NONINTERACTIVE file file 72 0 
0)))
(set! image-type (car(gimp-image-base-type image))) 
(gimp-message (number-string image-type))
)


Thanks

/Magnus

As I see your pictures, your problem is not a question on how to use 
Gimp, but how to use your camera.
At least picture IMG_3896 is for me to see, a matter of whitebalance - 
if not all the pictures.


What preciesly is it, you can't find out, and wants help for?

You want to use the  clone tool - teh one that looks like a stamp.

Pick it, hold control, and click on the portion of the image you want 
to copy _from_, and procede to normal painting on the part of the 
image you are copying _to_.

I prefere using it in the aligned mode (tool options).
You will find out that for better results you might want to pick a  
soft brush, and possibly tweak of the opacity  settings, depending on 
the nature of your background.

   Hi,

 exactly does when i save a png-file? I don't know the exact english
 text which appears here but i guess everyone knows of which option
 I'm talking about.

When a pixel is fully transparent, it still might hold an RGB value, 
though invisible. This RGB value can be retrieved if the pixel is 
made opaque or translucent.

With this option enabled, this hidden color is written in a png file. 
Else, the RGB value is set to the gimp context's BG colour, and the 
information is lost. This allows for a smaller file size if the RGB 
value int the transparent areas are not flat.

 thanks in advance,
 bernhard

The WMF loader probably converts everything to RGB then. You could try
to use identify instead. This tool comes with ImageMagick.
