[Gimp-user] Need help with translucent image

2013-05-05 Thread PieceKeepr
I've tried your suggestion with a multitude of threshold settings but
unfortunately it isn't working as desired.  A setting over 19 will select the
entire image, but even when using a low setting and getting rid of the darker
area it reappears when I use bucket fill.  I have a friend (she uses Photoshop,
but it's worth a try) helping me with it and if she figures out why it keeps
reappearing I'll post back.

[Gimp-user] Need help with translucent image

2013-05-05 Thread PieceKeepr
Also, I should have mentioned that bucket filling with black results in two very
different shades.  Using the color picker tool and then bucket filling gives me
the dark shading again even though I pick from an area that doesn't appear
shaded.

[Gimp-user] Need help with translucent image

2013-04-29 Thread PieceKeepr
I'm trying to expand a translucent image and keep the coloration even
throughout.  The original image is flat on top and fades to a darker color near
the edge.  I've tried everything I know how to do (admittedly not much) with no
success.  I attached a portion of the image to make it easier to understand what
I'm dealing with.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks to me like this is a grayscale filter, and you are attempting to get 
constant transparency of pure gray.


If so, and the filter is itself a separate layer, then simply select by color 
the filter area and set the threshold at about 240 (be sure not to enable 
select transparent areas). This should select the entire filtered area, and 
leave the transparent section unselected.


Cut (ctrl-X) the selected area, leaving just the selection itself.

Then, bucket fill the selected area with black with the opacity that you desire 
(looks to me about 45).
