Re: [Gimp-user] How to optimize this workflow

This will likely be faster (and the image will be aligned to the left). Or when you have loaded your square image, use "Image>Canvas size", and increase the width (you can just add "*7/5" at the end of the width, Gimp will compute the value). Then you add a background layer. "View>Snap to canvas edges" is also useful to align layers with the image sides. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] Cover reveal ripped effect
Thank you SO much for your reply and help, it's much appreciated! I will search for a svg file instead, it does sound much easier to me than erasing areas (not sure how to manage that), and try again. My other images are jpeg so I didn't think to use another format and I didn't know they wouldn't work. I hope I'll be able to show a result soon on my little bookblog (The Belgian Reviewer) ;-). xxx >Not a gimp problem - quote "I downloaded an image (free vector) of a >rip" > >From your screenshot, that is a jpg and jpeg format does not support >transparency.

Best guess is you downloaded an example image, a vector would typically be "something.svg" The checker pattern is just a convention to denote transparency. Attached a screenshot jpeg. This captures the checker pattern but not transparency. Open the xcf file of the image to see what it is. I could not find that vector with a search, so a bit of scaling and erasing from your small screenshot. Not wonderful quality. You can add transparency to that 2778.jpg layer Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha Channel From the screenshot it already has an alpha channel. You can tell by the layer name, bold - no alpha, light - with alpha. Having an alpha channel does not recreate the transparent (checker pattern) areas. You will have to erase those to show what is underneath. Much better way if you have the svg. Open as layers, set to the correct size for your template (avoid scaling later) Attachments: * https://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/1273/original/no-trans.jpg * https://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/1274/original/book-template.xcf -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
