Apply lipstick liberally to your lips. Press your lips against a piece of paper. Photograph or scan the piece of paper. Open the image in The Gimp, and modify it.

[Gimp-user] sharpening a black and white graphic
I have an image of two musical staves with the bass and treble cleft symbols that is pixilated. This image will be made into a rubber stamp and needs to look professional. The only way I can see to sharpen the image is to scale it up then use the pen and ink tool to sharpen the edges - filling in where the pixilation leaves a jagged edge. I am really new to using the Gimp and can't really see how using the mouse to guide the pen can work. AM I missing something?... or is there a better way to accomplish what I need?

I don't know what your image looks like, but if you need a high resolution image, sometimes it's easiest to recreate those parts with vector graphics. Many fonts have clef symbols that could be used for this purpose. You might even want to use a vector graphics application like inkscape for rubber stamps, but that depends on your specific problem, of course.

go here http://openclipart.org/ then type in the search box clef save the ones you want then set the size you need in inkscape then export them from there as png files and open in gimp. hope this helps. openclipart is very useful for such things as this.

Thanks for the reply Pete. I did find an image but not both bass and treble clefts with the musical staves which is what I need. I've uploaded andimage to imagebin http://imagebin.org/42844 This is similar to the image I'm trying to work on. The actual image is proprietary so making it over from scratch is not my first choice. From my upload you can see that the image has a number of jagged edges - I need to smooth them out. I may try one of the vector graphics programs as you mentin but altering the image I have seems to be the easiest thing to do at this point.

When I needed something similar, I downloaded a copy of the Bach Musicological font from the web (I actually downloaded from a different site, as I have had this for some years) http://www.mu.qub.ac.uk/tomita/bachfont/. With GIMP, I'd use this with the text tool, set to display the characters to the size you need. ns ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] sharpening a black and white graphic
Neil, That would be a life (and time) saver! Thanks Neil, i humbly accept your offer. The Bach fonts have me more confused than I was as I'm nor graphics person and just beginning on the Gimp learning curve. This will ultimately be a rubber stamp approximately 15/16 x 2 so I'm not sure what size is necessary but it does need to be 500dpi in it's final form.

[Gimp-user] how to mingle the edges of picture clips?
I am very very new to Gimp and graphic design. I think this is very basic, but don't know the professional terminology. Please take a look at the following picture, http://www.peteconstant.com/assets/images/Web-Banner-Raw3-Dan1.jpg You can see that different pictures are mixed into this web banner, and they don't have a clear edge between them, in other words, where they get joined, the color gets blurred. I am sure this is easy and very very basic, but don't know how to google out since I don't know what this technique is called (I think this is an area which google needs to work on, i.e., how do I google if I don't know what a concept/entity is called). Please kindly advise. Thanks a lot.

[Gimp-user] Can Gimp calculate area of a color?
Howdy, I'm making a mosaic. I've used gimp to strip out extraneous background artifacts posterize the picture down to a sixteen colors. separated the colors onto different layers. Now I'd like to know either by area (cm, or inch) or percentage of the picture each of the colors (so I can figure out how much tile I'll need). I don't see an obvious function such a calculation tool for this. Is there one and if so, can someone point me to it?

Hi, howe.ste...@gmail.com (2009-03-25 at 1353.01 -0700): Howdy, I'm making a mosaic.

I don't see an obvious function such a calculation tool for this. Is there one and if so, can someone point me to it? Histogram can be used to count pixels. So make sure the alpha of each layer is sharp, select the alpha channel in histogram drop down and select the right most bar(s). If you have sharp edges, it should be just a spike on the left for all transp pixels and another in the right for opaque ones (play with log vs linear setting if needed), if you have partially transp pixels, they will appear as spikes in the middle of the graph.

Not tested: Supose you have image_left and image_right Create a new image same height, double width. add two layers to it, set color to transparency. copy/paste left image to the left of one layer. copy/paste right image to the right of the other layer, overlaping a small portion. add layer mask to both layers fill the layer mask of each layer with: white where it has the image, black where there is the image in the other layer, gradient from white to black where two images overlaps.

[Gimp-user] Making lips
Fairly new to GIMP, and I was wondering, what is the easiest way to create a lipstick mark, an outline of lips? -- David M. hmm, you could try Getting an image of actual lips (Google search) cut out everything but the lips; rotate the image(if you need to) Filterblurblur Colorscolorize(adjust to get a Really Bright red) imagetransformFlip Horz... (to make it look like lips were pressed against a surface) Filterblurblur (optional* you don't have to, only if you have a really Hi REs image) now go to Filtersenhancesharpen and use a big number like 78, but not to big now duplicate the layer with the lips and now click on the farthest down(lowest) layer then go to colorsDesaturate and click lightest and ok now click on the top layer (heights up) click the drop down box next to mode grain merge; then hit Ctrl+M to merge all visible layers; click expand as nessasary and merge And that's it! Done! ready to paste on a mirror or note or what ever(I watch too much tv) Whell that the best I can do; I have been using gimp for less than a year; so may someone else can make it look better.

[Gimp-user] Changing the color of only part of my text
Hello I am creating a simple text logo. The logo is three words but they are all run together: thedaughterproject and I want the word daughter to be in a different color. I cannot seem to figure out how to simply get that one word in there changed, without creating three text boxes and messing with trying to make it look like they all run together, especially since I am using a cursive font. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks you could just select what you what to change (w/lasso tool) and use colorize from the colors menu. moving the sliders will change the color (paint bucket might work, better than colorize) -- David M. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
