Re: [Gimp-user] Enhancement request: Transparency as a paintable color - Update

2013-07-26 Thread Brendan Scott


Just to be clear - the reason I am proposing the enhancement request is a new way of 
using a feature which has already been coded (ie giving the paintbrush eraser 
functionality).  The purpose is primarily to have a better workflow, but also to have 
more meaningful treatment of background color for pictures which have 
multiple layers (and an alpha channel).

I have reposted the sample picture here:
http://brendanlearnstosee.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/ecorche-dorsal/

The xcf has been renamed with a .jpg extension otherwise it wouldn't upload.

By way of example in relation to the paint-with-background-color trick:

*also a friend of mine commented that using white to erase was a good trick, but in 
Wesnoth it's actually really bad considering all portraits are on a transparent 
layer...

(From Wesnoth art forums: http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?f=23t=38935
There are other examples floating around the web.)

Wesnoth portrait art would be an example where this enhancement could be used.

 Without actually looking at this plugins, I can say that it expects to

 Well, I did some experiments with adding layers but it doesn't seem to
 work.  I'll try saving the selection as a file first, then opening it,
 and then see if I can get the filter to work.

 Thanks again!

 Peace...

Ok, so I tried saving the selection as a file and opening it and the
filter still crashes with the same error.  

Peace...

 Hi!  Has anyone had any issues opening PhotoShop CS5 PSD files in Gimp
 2.8.4?  A friend is looking at buying a WordPress theme that comes with
 PhotoShop CS5 PSD files, so I was wondering if anyone had experienced
 any issues with opening CS5 PSD files in Gimp 2.8.4.
 Everyone who tried opening designs that rely on text layers and layer effects.

 Some also run into the incorrect reading of layer groups.

 GIMP also doesn't have a number of layer modes.


Ok, thanks!
