hello i,m new to this site so will try to explained as best as i can,  i am trying to change the background to a photo but when i put the initial photo up its with the surrounding background {not including the photo background) as Alpha Channel. Should the background be white or some other colour?
Could this be the reason i have problems further down the line when carrying out a relatively straight forward procedure?.

I'm trying to follow this terrific guide but get caught at the Lay in the basic colours step.

I can't post pictures but where he goes from brown landscape to green I can, with overlay layers or brushes, only get deeper shadows and I can't find an option to set the blend mode to colour?

He is using PS but he say's you can achieve the same effects in Gimp. 

Can anyone help out? much appreciated for any feedback

Thanks

Hi, I've been wanting to edit this gif to remove the M AGA on the blankets so it's just a basic red blanket, and I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this other than going frame by frame editing out each pixel? Is there a tutorial or perhaps something I can search to find what I'm looking for?
Thank you for reading.

As an amateur photographer, I want to try out focus stacking with my smart phone. First, I had to find a good camera program and I've chosen for an open source app: 'Open Camera'.

Then I had to find free software that give acceptable results and I found (tried on os windows 10) :

A result (tried out with 20 photos):

last photo

Friend gave me photos. TIFF with LZW compression. Parks, people walking, relaxing. People are doing fitness. I want to crop these TIFFs, resize. Then I will export it to JPEG. Then I will post these JPEGs on my blog.

I run Windows 10 Home 64-bit. GIMP 2.10.

I opening TIFF in GIMP. GIMP says:

The image has an embedded color profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1

Convert the image to the built-in sRGB color profile?

Rendering intent: Relative colorimetric.

Black Point Compensation. Flag is on.

Button Convert. Button Keep.

How do I respond to this GIMP question?

Hi,

Rectangular selections are no longer transforming on GIMP. It was working earlier and now when I press enter the transform isn't applied. I've been tearing my hair out over it all day so any help would be appreciated!

I'm new to gimp so it's probably something really simple! Attached is a link to a video of what's happening!
Thanks

Hi,
I have tried to rescue the text from a dedication made in the frame of a painting. 
So far my attempts have been unsuccessful, to the point of beginning to believe that it is indeed an impossible task.

As much as possible was insufficient to make the text readable.

Are there any specific techniques for this type of editing? Can you make the text at the bottom right readable?

The image is too big to display here on the forum. Even at Imgur I posted only part of the engraving that contains the dedication.

Thank you in advance.
