<0> the current background color is used as the background color
<1> oh, ok. cool. thx.
<1> floated selection pasted layer - can this be converted into a normal layer?
<1> any advice on alternatives to the Gimp?
<2> lol wtf no!
<2> well one... get yourself a career as a graphic designer so you can afford Photoshop, and good luck improving it
<1> ha ha
<0> MartinCleaver: mostly depends on your exact needs
<1> something a bit easier to use - I don't have time to read all the tutorials and I don't find it intuitive
<3> you should probably read the manual then
<2> i think what you're looking for is the Matrix
<3> Wilber, make transparent
<4> If you need to make a color transparent, first you need to ensure that there's alpha in the image; type "/msg Wilber alpha". Then you select by color and use Edit/Clear. Type "/msg Wilber replace color" for tips on how to make the selection. Depending on the purpose, Filters->Colors->Color to Alpha may help also.
<0> MartinCleaver: with only this definition, I could advice a lolipop.
<2> dindinx: well said
<1> y, fair enough
<1> thx schumaml
<2> MartinCleaver: i could point you to a tutorial on how to think intelligently and on how to ask intelligent questions
<2> as those are choices
<2> but they're skills
<1> I know.
<3> dtm: it's "smart questions", actually
<3> at least if you're talking about the tutorial written by esr
<2> they're my words, so they're what i meant them to be, but yeah that'll work too :)
<1> Wilber: dancing ants
<4> MartinCleaver, NFC, man
<1> Wilber: selection
<4> Eff if I know, MartinCleaver.
<0> MartinCleaver: are you talking about marching ants?
<1> Wilber: marching ants
<4> Do I look like a freakin' infobot, MartinCleaver?
<3> http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - slightly biased towards useful error reproting, but it teaches the right mindset for problem solving
<1> I've read it schumaml
<3> Wilber is not a replacement for the manual :)
<4> Eff if I know, schumaml.
<0> MartinCleaver: what do you want to know about marching ants?
<2> Wilber: bot snack
<4> Do I look like a freakin' infobot, dtm?
<2> ^_^
<1> the rounded corners, black dotted outline, is this the marching ants?
<0> MartinCleaver: we can teach Wilber, but it is just a bot.
<0> the marching ant is the selection boundary, white and black dots moving around.
<1> Wilber: marching ants is the selection boundary, white and black dots moving around.
<4> ok
<5> Wilber: marching ants
<4> marching ants is the selection boundary, white and black dots moving around.
<1> ok, so I selected by color, got #fff, used edit clear and it deleted everything inside the selection boundary
<0> MartinCleaver: adding a link to the right page in the documentation would help.
<1> wilber: replace color
<0> %replace color
<4> To replace a color in the whole image, first select by color (in 2.0 it's in the toolbox right after the magic wand; in 1.2 it's in Select/By Color), then fill with FG (Edit/Fill with FG). For more advanced techniques, see the Changing Background Color tutorials at <http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/>; or <http://www.gimpguru.org/Tutorials/>;
<1> and I see filters->Colors->Map but no filters->Colors->Color
<0> Color to alpha, not Color
<1> how do I make my current colour transparent?
<0> %make transparent
<4> If you need to make a color transparent, first you need to ensure that there's alpha in the image; type "/msg Wilber alpha". Then you select by color and use Edit/Clear. Type "/msg Wilber replace color" for tips on how to make the selection. Depending on the purpose, Filters->Colors->Color to Alpha may help also.
<1> its greyed out. Wrong mode?
<0> what is grayed out?
<1> the color to alpha option
<1> wilber: transparent
<1> %transparent
<4> MartinCleaver: Google may be able to help you, cuz I sure can't!
<1> %add transparent
<4> Eff if I know, MartinCleaver.
<1> %add transparent to the image
<4> MartinCleaver, NFC, man
<5> Wilber: listvalues transpar
<4> Factoid search of 'transpar' by factoid_value (4 matching): make transparent ;; alpha ;; transparent gif ;; color to alpha ;;
<1> %alpha
<4> In order to be able to work with transparency, the layer must have an "alpha channel". Use Image/Alpha/Add Alpha Channel (in 1.2) or Layer/Transparency/Add Alpha Channel (in 2.0). If it is grayed out, that's because the layer already has an alpha channel and you are already able to work with transparency.
<1> ok, so apparently I already have an alpha channel
<1> % color to alpha
<4> Try "make transparent" ;)
<1> %color to alpha
<4> Try "make transparent" ;)
<1> %make transparent

<1> colour to alpha is still greyed out
<0> maybe your image is in indexed mode.
<1> y, it is
<0> many filters are unavailable in this mode.
<0> change it to rgb
<1> ok, well that did it but its ugly as, I guess because its got binary transparency
<1> I hadn't noticed the shadowing around the logos before now
<1> that will do for now
<1> thanks for your help

<1> very user friendly bot
<2> yeah who is available via /msg
<2> in private
<1> Wilber: pick color
<4> huh?
<0> MartinCleaver: as schumaml already stated, Wilber isn't a replacement for the docs.
<0> he's just a faq answerer.
<1> it'd be useful if someone added a searchbox onto http://www.gimp.org - adding site: is a pain
<0> what about the search functionnality of your browser?
<3> MartinCleaver: the site's source is available in cvs, patches are welcome :)
<6> anyone used Picasa for photo management?
<1> Y, I have the googlebar
<7> MartinCleaver: Can I ask you a question
<1> sure
<7> thanks
<7> MartinCleaver: http://eulex.zapto.org/megabyte/Drawings/the_doctor_on_the_magazine_cover.png
<7> what do you think?
<1> doesn't look like me at all
<1> ;)
<0> MartinCleaver: just search for a word here: http://docs.gimp.org/en/ search for "pick" just could have lead you to the description of the color picker tool
<1> how do I pick from an external app?
<7> MartinCleaver: lol
<1> I've done it before
<7> MartinCleaver: It's a sketch, what do you say?
<1> yes, it is
<1> :)
<0> http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-dialogs-content.html#gimp-color-dialog <= end of this page.
<1> the top half looks like it faces a different direction, but it depends whether you are aiming at that
<1> better than I could do
<7> MartinCleaver: thanks :)
<7> MartinCleaver: It would've looked better if I used another paper
<1> thanks dindinx, I knew I'd seen it somewhere
<7> of course the eyes would still ****
<7> lol
<7> but the skin would look more seamless
<1> where's the feature request system? I ought comment that the "The color picker has a completely different behaviour, than the color picker tool." is a conceptual anomally, sure to confuse
<0> MartinCleaver: there is bugzilla for this.
<0> but my bet will be on "wontfix" for this request.
<1> ok, won't bother then
<0> the tools only works on an image window. If we want the same behaviour for the color-dialog color picker, this would mean to lost a feature.
<1> sure.
<1> gotta go. thx for your help
<5> hmm, "color to alpha", I've an academical question for that: how is the alpha value actually calculated? if noone knows this, I could try and download the source...
<0> http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gimp/plug-ins/common/colortoalpha.c?rev=1.68&view=markup <= look for the color_to_alpha () func
<5> the help says: It will attempt to preserve antialiasing information by using a partially intelligent routine that replaces weak color information with weak alpha information. In this way, areas that contain an element of the selected color will maintain a blended appearence with their surrounding pixels.
<5> thx dindinx, will have a look at that
<5> just think of colors as vectors and taking a scalar would be too straightforward, I' afraid
<5> *thinking
<0> it is almost the idea
<8> I've downloaded the c source for a gimp plugin - What do I do to it?
<8> Compile it?
<8> Man, help me please ;)
<2> you can read it, or print it out and eat it
<2> compiling source code? who does that anymore?!
<8> People that want this plugin to work
<8> It's an fblur plugin
<2> well, then!
