Kim,
After you have made your selection, try hitting "Enter" to make your 
selection "stick".

Then Invert the selection.
Then delete it.

Subject: [Gimp-user] Background Removal failute

Hello, everyone. I followed the Gimp video tutorial for background removal.
Everything seemed to go as directed until it came time to delete that 
background
layer from the image so that the foreground image remained. Once I deleted 
the
background layer I selected, the whole image showed as nothing but a 
transparent
frame. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? I have attached my screen shots 
of

what resulted. Thank you in advance. --Kim

Re: [Gimp-user] Background Help

[Rick Strong]

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?

Hi, Newbie here and awaiting a book to help. However I have a quickie 
project. I
have created a word doc, blue text and converted to a pdf. I have opened the 
pdf
and want to make the background white like a sheet of paper with the blue 
text
on it. Is there an easy way to do this. I have literally downloaded the 
program

and not started yet. I want to get my image printed on a blue T shirt for my
kids for xmas. So it would be a blue T shirt with a white page on the front 
with

blue writing on it.

Any help apprciated. Many Thanks in advance.

How do I get a clean white background with GIMP when displaying items on my

It depends on your objective and your starting point. If you can clearly 
identify the area you want to be background, then remove it from the image. This 
might need you to use the lasso tool to outline the background, which might take 
some time - especially if it is in pieces.


If the background color is set to white (the default state) then exporting to 
jpg will produce your image with a white background.


If, however, you want the background to be the default background of your image 
(rather than simply "white"), you should add an alpha channel to the image, then 
remove the area that is supposed to be background (it will show up as a 
light-gray/dark-gray checkerboard), and export the picture to png.


If this doesn't help, perhaps you might rephrase your question. Some of the 
tutorials might also help.

I think we'd need to know a lot more about what exactly you are doing.
GIMP in itself is not related to displaying items in a Web site... are
you using some sort of Web gallery plugin? Or what?

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.

I hope you guys understand my question, to make it more clear see the attachment

any help/tips would be higly appreciated !

[Partha Bagchi]

What format did you save the file in? To display an image with a
transparent color on a webpage, you need a PNG file.

That *and* pick a black point when scanning.  It will make the text that
does "bleed thru" appear much lighter.

Then play with the contrast of the product.

If you can, scan again, and put *black* paper on top of
the other side while scanning.

Re: [Gimp-user] background question

[Daniel Smith]

the best way i can think of would be to put a backing on the paper,
not to affix it but just lay it behind the newspaper, when you scan it
so the light doesn't emanate the paper so you don't see the other
side?
just my 2...

The size limit is only for clipboard patterns. You can be as large as you
want for file based patterns.

[Alchemie foto\grafiche]

No problem with WIN ,gimp may use jpg, png and several other format for pattern

Only problem may be the pattern image size i believe max accepted is around 
500x500

But if you want use for BG you may bypass the limit simply opening your pattern 
as was a image using
File/open as layer 

In this  case if you need to tile you will find some build in filter
hem i am a little vague here because for tiling i always use the "Array" 
filters included in the gmic plugin
(simple array or mirrored array ) and never the built in option

On your Window VIsta? Good luck :)

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

You could also mention what file format they are in and what system
you use (Linux, Win, Mac).

If they are PNG or PAT, you can just drop them to your local folder
for patterns. You can see where it is for yourself, use
Edit/Preferences/Folders/Patterns menu path.
