Really it is as much artistic as it is Gimp tools.

One way. Use as large an image as you can get, the bigger the better.

Paint out the Superman logo and paint in any contours:
https://i.imgur.com/lSFO0P2.jpg

You can get batman logos that already have a transparent background, no need to
remove one. Size that to suit, paste in as a new layer, move and rotate then
apply a little distortion using the IWarp tool. Filters -> Distorts -> IWarp
https://i.imgur.com/x9zR4xc.jpg

Before applying a bump map, make the batman logo the full image size, Layer ->
Layer to image size. It has to match the underlying superman image (the painted
in one), otherwise an offset is applied. There is no noticeable light direction
so settings are simple see: https://i.imgur.com/2NWT0P7.jpg

[Gimp-user] Help with Selection Tools Issue

A few issues there. I know what you want to do but not sure how you are going
about it.

First general issues. Forget what you have done before in PS, Gimp works in its
own way, it has a steep learning curve, it is not PS.

Windows users for some reason fall back on re-installing when they think the
application is broken. That is very-very rarely necessary. More usually it is
the Gimp profile C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8 that has been screwed up. Rename
that to back it up in case you ever need it again. Start up Gimp and a new
default profile is created.

Deleting the background.

"quote - I tried to use the "magic wand" / fuzzy select tool, but instead of
activating the section I clicked, the entire image began to fill"

That is the bit I can not understand, what do you mean by activating? A
selection is normally indicated by a dotted line 'marquee' - sometimes called
crawling ants.

Removing a background this way requires

1. Add an alpha channel - screenshot 1

2. Using the fuzzy select tool, click in the background.

3. Cut the selection, Edit -> Cut or ctrl-x screenshot 2

Note: Not all is selected, you can add / subtract from an initial selection by
changing the fuzzy tool mode.

The gimp docs are:

Chapter 14 starting https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tools-selection.html

Chapter 7 starting https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-selections.html

and a short video (7 minutes) just describing them: https://youtu.be/m-Y4G8_murs

A more usual way which you can try is, Colors -> Color-to-alpha. Default is
white. Sometimes those types of clip art become semi-transparent, so it is
try-and-see.

[Gimp-user] Help with Selection Tools Issue

[Tangocat]

I am a beginner to GIMP but I've done some stuff in PSE.  I recently downloaded
and installed GIMP.  I wanted to play around a bit so I dragged in a simple jpg
illustration and wanted to remove the white background.  I tried to use the
"magic wand" / fuzzy select tool,  but instead of activating the section I
clicked, the entire image began to fill with black pixels growing outward from
the image itself and spreading inward from the edges.  The action is locked and
continues no matter what other tool I try to activate.  There is no stopping it
and "undo" doesn't work.  I've uninstalled, reinstalled, downloaded again and
everytime is the same.  Can someone help me?
Thanks,
Kathy

[Gimp-user] logo application

[Gimp_Noob]

I am a relatively inexperienced gimp user. I was recently asked by someone to
replace the logo of an existing character with a different logo while
maintaining the contours of the original image e.g. muscle definition.
I could use the perspective tool to position the logo on the character but it
would lose the definition lines.

I read about bump maps and other tools, but frankly I'm not sure what would be
appropriate for my project.
I've attached an example of what I'm trying to do. In this case, I would need to
replace the Superman logo with the Batman logo without losing the definition
lines. This isn't the character or logo that I've been given but I think it's a
good example of my problem. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

Strange size, or is it missing a digit and is 5456x3632 from a Sony camera?

If this is the case, Gimp uses about 65MB/layer, so at 60 layers you are 
hitting a 4GB limit. Are you using a 32-bit version of Gimp?

Thanks much! for the trick and the script. Hopefully I won't be resizing 
this particular image any further, but the next time I resize an image I'll 
figure out how to use the script, or at least will use the trick.


That script could be worth including as part of what ships with GIMP.

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp 2.8 "has stoppped working" on WIndows

[Sterpu Victor]

Images are 5456x362 and I was tryng to batch crop all of them with a 
Gimp script.

I have 800 of these images and Gimp stops at 60.
I know this is not very efficient as Gimp loads all layers in memory but 
I have enough RAM.

All the layers are different sizes, so I don't think this would work, 
would it? Unless you mean what Ofnuts described, resizing by a pixel, 
and then resizing again to return to the original canvas size. I never 
would have thought of that trick.





Also, does the layer mask resize when the layer is resized?


I just tried this and it does.  You can try this also, Edit -->Undo is a
friend


Thanks! for checking. Actually I did try, but I couldn't tell what was 
happening. I should have spent more time experimenting to determine what 
was really happening.
