[Gimp-user] transparent background

2004-02-04 Thread Sabine Cretella
Hi, maybe my question is one of the most simple ones, but being my first 
steps with gimp I have no idea on how to proceed. I am not even an 
experienced user of PaintshopPro or other software like this.

1st problem:
I have a *.gif file with white background and black and red graphics on 
it. Now I need a transparent background to be able to adapt this graphic 
to any webpage as backgrounds will have changing colours.
Could you please tell me how to reach this? Is there an online-resource 
somewhere?

2nd problem:
I have a *.gif file (banner) with basic colour - let's say red, but it 
is not a unique red - it is already some kind of texture, marble or similar.
Now I need to change colour shade - let's say from red to blue - is 
there a way to do this?

Thank you so much for any hint - in any case I will create an 
online-how to for all the questions I am asking and translate it into 
Italian and German (my languages).

And as we are talking about this: is there some kind of glossary for 
English/German/Italian around, just to be sure to use the right terms.

Thanks again - probably you'll need quite a lot of patience with me.

All the best, Sabine

The brush selector has brushes of different sizes.  In the brush
options, click on the brush icon.  It hides the selector.  It wasn't
obvious to me, either.

 any kind of selecting or drawing, even with the mouse after I try with my
 tablet.
 
 I'm currently running Gimp 2.0-pre2 on XP pro

What is stressful about grabbing the RPMs from
http://www.gnome.org/~drc/gimp-rpms/ and installing them ?

 anyone have a report with examples of the GIMP and SVG?

SVG paths can be imported and exported. SVG can be imported and will
be rasterized on load (with the possibility to keep any paths).

Hi Sabine

 1st problem:
 I have a *.gif file with white background and black and red graphics on 
 it. Now I need a transparent background to be able to adapt this graphic
 to any webpage as backgrounds will have changing colours.
 Could you please tell me how to reach this? Is there an online-resource 
 somewhere?

First you have to add an alpha channel (RMB -- Layers -- Transparency -- Add Alpha 
Channel). Then you can select the white background with either Select by color 
(Shift+O) or with the magic wand (is this the right word in english...? in german it 
is Zauberstab) (Z). Then you just need to cut out the selection an it will be 
transparent. Save it as xcf, png, tga, gif or any other file that can handle 
transparency.

 2nd problem:
 I have a *.gif file (banner) with basic colour - let's say red, but it 
 is not a unique red - it is already some kind of texture, marble or
 similar. Now I need to change colour shade - let's say from red to blue
 - is there a way to do this?

The easiest way is to change the Hue of the red part of the image. Do this by 
selecting RMB -- Layer -- Colors -- Hue and Saturation.

Hope, this helps...

there is a brush editor also, although finding it can be difficult.
select the Untitled brush in the brush dialog and then the edit button
in that window and a brush editor will show itself.

Probably easier to use the New button instead.

There are two even:

 http://mmmaybe.gimp.org/tutorials/Changing_Background_Color_1/
 http://mmmaybe.gimp.org/tutorials/Changing_Background_Color_2/

 And as we are talking about this: is there some kind of glossary for

You could use the GIMP translation files that you will find in he po
directory of the GIMP source code. Or you could change your locale and
look at GIMP in english, german and italian.

right clicking and getting the menu from the Untitled brush icon in
the dialog is much more fun though.

Re: [Gimp-user] How to treat several pictures at once?

 Hi there,
 
 I am a new gimp user as well as a new list member. I have got the
 following 
 question: I took a series of pictures (measures) and I have
 to normalize and equalize them to see any result. Is there any perl
 skript or smth. else that does this step with all the pictures I have
 because it is impossible to treat ~ 50 pictures seperately (no time ...)
 I have never used perl, so I also do not know how to use it with gimp.
 
 Any help, tutorial or hint would be cool because it is quite urgent.

Assuming it can do the job (and it can do a lot of jobs), your best option 
is probably not the GIMP, but rather ImageMagick, which provides set of 
command line tools for doing all sorts of image operations.
 
You mentioned normalizing and equalizing.  To do that with ImageMagick, you 
would just run, e.g.:

mogrify -normalize -equalize *.JPG

Done!

If you find that ImageMagick won't do it, then you should look into 
scripting the GIMP.  I recommend writing your scripts in Python, but it 
really depends on what you're most comfortable with -- or most interested 
in learning.

Shawn.
