Your Gimp xcf file keeps everything separate in layers. Just export that as a png file for a flattened image with transparency. If you want a jpeg file with a white background, set the Gimp BG colour in the tools dock to white. Then export the image as a jpeg. This might / might-not help.

[Gimp-user] Background Layer Color
I just created a graphic, and made the background transparent...or so I thought. But, when I export this as a .jpg file, the background is some kind of maroon or brick color. I cannot figure out how I did that, and it's something I certainly don't want. How do I fix it? Many thanks!

Why the maroon colour? When you export to a jpeg any transparency is replaced by the Gimp current BackGround value (BG) Usually the user will set that as white, but can be some other colour. see the screenshot: How to fix it. Start again. Always Save as a Gimp xcf until a final export to png/jpg/tiff etc. Attachments: * https://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/1401/original/background.jpg -- 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

Make a full interface shot like the attached (Gimp 2.8) and give the version of Gimp (2.8 or 2.10 ) together with your computer operating system (Windows / linux / OSX) The only thing you can say is your selection could be better. Apart from that, the procedure might be 1. Make sure the image has an alpha-channel (for transparency) Layer -> Transparency -> Add alpha channel 2. Make a selection around the bit you want to keep. Various tools for this free-select / scissors / foreground select. Fuzzy/Colour select best on plain backgrounds. All depends on the image. 3. Invert the selected foreground Select -> Invert 4. Cut the selection Edit -> Cut 5. Select -> None You do not need more than one layer, except often a light grey under shows up any edge errors. Save as a .xcf keeps layers / selections etc. Export as a png for a flattened image with transparency. Out of interest, which video tutorial? There are other ways of extracting a foreground, the Gimp plugin g'mic has a useful filter. rich: www.gimp-forum.net Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/1038/original/before-cut.jpg * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/1039/original/after-cut.jpg -- 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

Thank you very much for the help. The image was given to me by a friend. It was pulled from a search engine. Re-scanning was not an option. I'm not exactly what you would call a GIMP "power user". I'm familiar with most of the basic functions but that's about it. I spent quite a while trying to find the right tutorial. I would probably still be pulling my hair out if you hadn't created the post. >Looks like a scan, if possible rescan with a dark card background >rather than the scanner white cover. > >You probably found that the usual fuzzy / color select does not work >too well, neither does making a mask using threshold. > >Back to bad-old-ways using the image in indexed mode.

Re: [Gimp-user] Background Help
Maybe I missed something. If the Word doc had blue type on white paper to begin with, why doesn't the resulting PDF have white paper as its background? And if the original Word doc had blue text on a coloured background, would it not be easier to copy the text, open a new Word doc with white background and copy the text on to it, then make a new PDF (or whatever file is needed) to print your file on a T shirt? Or simply copy your blue text (or make the text blue), put it on a white page in GIMP and export to a jpeg (or whatever file is needed) to print your file?

Many Thanks in advance. The only advice you really need is changing the pixels-per-inch (ppi) setting when opening the PDF in Gimp. File -> Open and select the PDF file. You get a dialog as the screenshot. Change the resolution from 100 ppi (Gimp default value) to 300 ppi (suitable for printing) One thing to note. The PDF will be rasterized and text converted to an image. Otherwise the image will look exactly the same as the PDF and print the same as the original doc paper size.

[Gimp-user] Background
Dear GIMP users, First of all I would like to say that GIMP is a great piece of software, i've been using it since a few days and for a newbie like myself it;s rather straightforward. Yet now I encounter an obstacle which I can't seem to pass, it's probably very easy to fix but I just don't see it. In my webpage header I putted a logo. First, I made the logo background (which was white) transparant in GIMP and saved the file. Second I putted the logo in my header, yet the logo doesnt seem to be transparant as it is in the saved file because the blue header background colour is lighter at the place of the logo.

Hi Robert, you can easily manipulate transparency values in different color adjustement tools. One could be Colors / Curves. Be sure to check the Alpha channel where you can handle all the (semi)transparent pixels. Then move the bottom point a little to the right, in the background you'll see that the slightly gray pixels will vanish and the background will shine through completely.

Once this is accomplished, how do I open them in Gimp? This is probably very basic, but I am new at this stuff and need help PLEASE. Thank you very much! :) -- foggycreek (via gimpusers.com) You have to open a terminal window, go to the the directory you expanded files to and enter this: sudo mv *pat /usr/share/gimp/2.0/patterns It will ask for you super password, the one you used to install Linux. It will then move all files with the extension pat to the patterns directly. You can also turn your own images into patterns. Just open them with gimp, and resave them as .pat files. It will ask for a name which will show up when you look for your patterns, making it easy to find them. Hope this is clear enough. :-) Pat Brown http://pabrown.com/ Pushing the envelope on romance Thank you very much. I will try this :) -- foggycreek (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Good luck :) Actually, I've just tried adding JPEG files to patterns folder, refreshed the list without restarting GIMP and it worked.

Re: [Gimp-user] Background textures
Only problem may be the pattern image size i believe max accepted is around 500x500 The size limit is only for clipboard patterns. You can be as large as you want for file based patterns. -Rob A ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
