Re: [Gimp-user] Reg: Swapping Colors
Nandakumar KS wrote: In the image am having, I want to swap the colors between red and blue. How to do that using gimp??? can anyone plz guide me in this regard? Of course. 1. Open the image. 2. Apply the Color Exchange filter and swap any two colours you want. You can find this filter under the Filters-Colors-Map-Color Exchange.

Are you restricted to using the GIMP? The GIMP is primarily not a drawing tool. To do the task you just described, another program, Inkscape[1], fits the bill perfectly.

Re: [Gimp-user] convert black to blue for sketch question
Tom Poe wrote: Harish: Thank you very much for the help. I created a .png file of a sketch, scanned into computer, brought it up in Gimp. Tried the color exchange on the image by selecting all, then filter-color-map-color exchange. Didn't work, so I tried creating a new file and adding the sketch as a paste in a new layer, selecting all and trying the color exchange, but no go. If I send you the file, could you check on your computer and see if it works for you? Sure. But before that, by didn't work, do you mean the operation wasn't allowed (the menu option was greyed out) or the operation failed to do what you wanted? If the menu option was greyed out, it is because your scanner's png is in 'indexed' mode. Follow Right Click-Image-Mode-RGB to switch the image type to RGB and retry the operation. If it still doesn't work, e-mail it to me (off list), and I'll take a look.

Tom Poe wrote: I scanned in a sketch that is displayed as a black and white sketch. I now want to replace the black with blue color. Then, I will have a blue and white sketch. Does that make sense? Is there a command, or feature on Gimp that lets me do that? That is a fairly common operation. What you want is a colour map. Right click-Filters-Colors-Map-Color Exchange Then select your black and blue as the colours to be exchanged (which you obviously knew).

Re: [Gimp-user] Cutout and paste (Newbie question)
Gert Blij wrote: Basically what I said was that while the rectangular select works fine, all the others don't. When I select with Oval, Hand draw or Intelligent scissors, the cut from the Gimp looks perfect, but when I paste into OpenOffice Writer it is always a rectangular picture the width and height being the outer most points of the cut. It all makes it pretty useless for what I need it for. Would you know of a way of getting this right? You could try this, though it's a bit of a kludgey workaround :). 1. Make sure the layer you are working with has an alpha channel (Right click the layer in the layers dialog-Add alpha channel). 2. After making the selection (oval, scissors, or whatever), invert the selection. (Cntrl-I or Menu-Select-Invert) 3. Cut everything else out (Cntrl-X). Now these regions will all be transparent, leaving only what you want. 4. Invert the selection again (Cntrl-I) returning to your original selection. 5. Copy that (Cntrl-C) and try pasting it. Even if it pastes a rectangular bounding box, everything other than what you want will not show. Of course, save the original image elsewhere in case you do something inadvertently.

Re: [Gimp-user] Cutout and paste (Newbie question)
Gert Blij wrote: I want to cut out part of an image (rectangular, round or oval, polygon, etc) and copy and paste it to somewhere else. How do I do that? The instructions Andrew provided will work nicely within the same image window or multiple images within the GIMP. Unfortunately, if you are attempting to copy a selection in the GIMP and paste it elsewhere (for instance, an oval portion of an image into a Word document or something), it will most probably not work. As far as I know, this is very dependent on the actual platform and applications involved. I only say this because I want to clarify what you mean by 'paste it somewhere else'.

I would like to change a few of the File Extensions so that certain graphics and such aren't opened in the GIMP when I double click. I tried reinstalling the program to change these options through there but they are all checked and grayed out so I am unable to change them. Help please. I'm assuming you've installed the GIMP on a Windows machine. Just browse to a file you don't want to open up in the GIMP when you double click, but does at the moment. Right click the file and scroll down to Open with-Choose Program (if this is windows XP). Pick the other program you want opening the file when you double click it, making sure you check the little box at the bottom which says something like Always use selected program to open files of this type.. And the next time you double click these sorts of files, they open up in the program you chose.
