RE: Making Transparent from Non-Transparent

Under linux at least, there's a plugin named colortoalpha (i dont't know
where in the menu exactly, i believe under Image/Colors, search in the PDB)
that can be good for this.

Objet: Making Transparent from Non-Transparent


Hi,

Second big question is I have a lot of old logos Istored on a black
background. Is there a way of turning the black transparent so that I
can drop the logos on to a new background?

I've looked in my small book but it doesn't cut. Another PS would be
what are the best books? The Gimp Manual and Grokking The Gimp?

Thanks,

Jonathan

 Try out my plug-in, colortoalpha.  Its found under
 Filters/Colors/Color To Alpha... 

Don't have it, at least on 1.04 which came with potato and I'm trying to
get my hand on something more recent...

Have you an url for it?

BTW, all the plugins I've seen come in source? You have to compile them
all? Any special libraries involved?

Thanks,

Jonathan

  Love to. But I can't grab the compiled deb binaries on the Debian site
  because they're compiled against sid and that means upgrading a lot of
  libraries on my potato system and breaking stuff.
  
  Any suggestions welcome. I'd love to have it...
 
 Compile!  Its not hard.  Just download the source, unzip it,
 ./configure, make, su to root, and make install.
 

Or, you can add an apt sources line to /etc/apt/sources.list
eg:
deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free

and:

apt-get -b source gimp1.2

This will compile the sid GIMP 1.2 package for you.
You may have to chase down a few libs (and get the -dev packages for them)
