Hi! Ok, someone on a message board I moderate on asked how to make a composite image from two images to be used as a desktop background.
Here are the source images: http://www.rytekmotorsports.com/neo-anime-big.jpg (1600x1200) http://www.yourwallpaper.com/pop/movies/matrix/matrix03-1024.phtml (1024x768) He wanted to make the "matrix-1024" image the background and have Neo in the foreground. Someone replied to his post with these instructions: 1) resize Neo to 1024 x 768 2) make a new layer 3) copy and paste matrix background into Neo picture 4) send that layer to background 5) "add layer mask/reveal all" from layer menu 6) select Neo layer and select all white parts with the magic wand 7) fill the selected area with BLACK , the matrix background will appear 8) apply a little Blur to the Neo Layer to blur edges 9) voila! So I decided to try this and I was able to get the wallpaper image created. However, my version of "Neo" has a white line outlining him whereas the person who posted the instructions produced a version with NO outline using PhotoShop. Instructor's version: http://www.unibas.ch/gaybeggars/neomatrix.jpg My version: http://www.pixhost.com/pixt/tomdkat/neo-wallpaper.jpg Why does my version have a white outline around Neo where the instructor's version doesn't? Thanks... Peace... Tom _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
