Hope you have a larger, better version. First thing, it is grayscale and to do any work on it, change the mode to RGB (Image menu - Mode). As previous posts, Colors menu - Color-to-Alpha will remove the gray background, even using the default setting, and a Layer menu - Transparency - Alpha-to-Selection will then select the pentagram for filling with a new colour. Big but...The quality of the posted jpeg is horrible, lots of artifacts resulting in semi-transparent pixels all over. Tweaking with the curves tool will improve the image. The only real way is to re-draw using the original as a template. Not difficult, several ways to do it. Using an old netbook and Gimp 2.6, in a few minutes while watching TV. Could be better. http://www.mediafire.com/view/dlc0ygm1ffcdv3w/penta.xcf The top layer is plain, a second layer has been bumpmapped to give a more 'golden' effect. Too many jaggies, that is what happens with small (200x200 pix) images. ___ 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
[Gimp-user] Colour swapping advice
Hi all, I am planning to build a website over the coming weeks but I want to make some custom images albeit slightly basic ones. My first image project would be the banner for the home page for which I already have an image which I will attach to this post. It is a simple two colour image of a pentagram. The pentagram is black against a white background but I want to change the black to a shade of gold maybe and the background to a shade of black. Rather that editing it pixel by pixel there must be an easier way by using gimp to alter the pentagram's colour and the background colour. Any help greatly appreciated.

Chris Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/182/original/pentagram.jpg When doing an image from scratch, the basic principle in Gimp it to work with layers, keeping objects in their own layer (the reste of the layer being transparent) so that they can be altered at will without impacting the rest of the image. If the pentagram is in its own layer, then changing its color is just alpha-locking the layer and bucket-filling it with the new color (due to alpha-lock, all pixels keep their original opacity/transparency), and the background color can be changed by simple bucket-fill. ___ 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

Can't lay my hands on GIMP to try right now, but could http://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-exchange.html be worth a shot?

Re: [Gimp-user] Colour swapping advice
You might want to try using color to alpha. Colors Color to Alpha To fine tune it you can use the curves tool. Something like this maybe. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/93550827/temp/c2a.ogv On Sun, Dec 28, 2014, at 06:27 AM, Chris1968 wrote: Hi all, I am planning to build a website over the coming weeks but I want to make some custom images albeit slightly basic ones.
