What I want to do is copy images off a page, paste them into the same position onto a transparent layer, make the original page all white, then merge the layers as a quick and easy way to fix the color of the borders around images as part of a book restoration project - i.e. get rid of acid yellowing, etc.
Here's my envisioned workflow -
- Outline image using rectangle select
- copy image
- move image to transparent layer and align it with original base layer
- convert entire original base layer to absolute white with flood fill
- merge layers
This is simple to do in PaintShop Pro - just change the layer you're working on by clicking on it, but layers apparently don't work the same way in GIMP.
All assistance appreciated.
