[Gimp-user] Re: color conversion tips?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2002-12-24 at 1531.58 -0800): You said you wanted to select the colors that were close to white. To do this, just use threshold on the value channel and pick up only that part of the histogram that is close to white. This will give you a bi-level image from which you can then select the white parts, using the selection on the original image and filling with white (or whatever other color you want). I would use Levels or Curves to push to white, simpler and smoother results than Threshold and Fill. For other colours, no, but for white, or any colour you can control via channels (directly or decompose compose back), yes.

Global ideas, but no fixed dates. 2: Joke, repeat with me: j-o-k-e. Understood. The reference to Gimp 2.0 and CMYK is the closest thing to a commitment to incorporate useful CMYK capability in Gimp that I have come across. There are two markets, on-line stuff and printed stuff. Without CMYK Gimp is limited to the first and effectively locked out of the second. Hence it cannot be considered as a complete Photoshop replacement no matter how many marvelous tricks it will do. CMYK is the one bold move that would make all the difference in publishing. I hope for a world where the non-conformist can do whatever he/she needs to do with free software. The only non-free program I use regularly is called Mup, a music notation program I paid $29.00 for many years ago. TeX means never having to buy InDesign or Quark for typesetting. Gimp should mean never having to buy PhotoShop for book covers. Until that happy day I will struggle along with Gimp + pnmtotiffcmyk. I can't wait to 2010.

I can not wait untill 2010 to wait gimp supporting CMYK, if GIMP want to beat PS, the first target is supporting CMYK. I don't think that the main idea of GIMP is to beat any other application. And also you didn't really read the whole mail did you? He said j-o-k-e. But it will take time to do this things even though you might think it is easy it is not. You have to give things like this time. And next time read the whole mail and don't read between the lines. What I think he tries to say is that there is no actual date for anything right now.

I played a bit with a layer of white using the different layer modes thinking one of them might cancel out the white effectively stripping out only the white, but to no avail. Anyway, this isn't pressing... just picking at my brain for some time. Thanks for any ideas! Eric P. Well, you could use the Colors/Color to Alpha Channel filter to remove the white, but that will remove TOOO much. The way I would do it would be to use the magic wand (Select continuous regions tool) to select the continuous regions of the background color and then use Edit/Clear to remove them.
