A. Gimp is a graphics program where you create the designs. A better altenative to myspace for art is www.deviantart.com By all means download Gimp and use it to create art...it's free and in many ways as nice as Photoshop.

How do I make images on GIMP smaller without them being blurry?
Q. When ever I try to resize images on GIMP and make them smaller (not bigger!), they get all blurry. Is there something I can do to make them not blurry? You would think making them smaller would make them better quality >.<
Asked by Luke - Mon Jun 7 20:47:59 2010 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Did you try using the resize tool in your Tool Menu? o.o That's the only way I know how to make them smaller. If that still makes it blurry, trying useing the Blurr/Sharpen tool to sharpen the image up a little bit. If you really want it sharpened up, trying dowloading GREYC if it's not already in your Filters>Enhance options.

In Gimp, how do I make part of the top layer transparent to show the bottom layer?
Q. I need help from someone who is familiar with the program Gimp (similar to photoshop). I need to make part of the top layer transparent so that the bottom layer will show through.
Asked by Summer - Fri Aug 14 18:47:51 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. First off, is the top layer white, or any other solid color? Because in that case, you can just select that layer and erase the areas you want the bottom layer to show through on. To make a fully transparent layer to begin with, select "Layer>New Layer". In the dialogue box that shows up, there should be an option asking which mode you want this new layer to be in; just click "Transparent", and voila. No erasing needed.

How do you smart scissor a image on gimp and cut the background off?
Q. I have a grey scale jpeg, and I want all the white to be transparent so I can put a background behind it and just have the black/grey part of the image stand out. I've tried using the smart scissors, but I can't seem to get them to pull the white off the image. How do I do this in GIMP?
Asked by rubrducky99 - Mon Mar 16 11:33:32 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you want ALL of the white to be transparent... 1) Go to Layer>Transparency>Color to Alpha and, if white's not already the chosen color, change the color to white. If you want a certain white region to be transparent... 1) Go to Layer>Transparency>Add Alpha Channel 2) Use the Color Select to select the particular region 3) Hit delete 4) Rinse and repeat for all applicable regions.

A. What you're talking about is a clipping mask in Photoshop. The basic idea is that you make a copy of your picture on to a new layer and desaturate it. Make sure that your color layer is below your b/w layer. Then you create a clipping mask and using a paintbrush you "paint" away the areas where you want the color to show through. This tutorial should get you started: Hope that helps and good luck!
