See attached XCF for an example.
- Painting doesn't need to be accurate (with some luck you can fill the layer).
- Tranaprency on the top layer leaves the bottom layer unchanged
- In any case it is easier to fix that painting directly in on the initial image (make the top layer transparent where you want to redo from the initial image).
Hi Ofnuts.
I looked at the example that you put in and that is exactly what I am after, I am not that great with GIMP yet, and not sure what you did and not sure of what to do myself, any chance of a bit of a tutorial ?
UPDATE:
I played around a little bit, and looked on Youtube and found a couple of videos that show this technique, I got the jist of what to do, but I am not getting the colour that I choose, I am trying to make the menus of the programme a dark grey, I have the colour set to that colour, but when I paint the image the colour is like a washed out pink colour.
When I hide the screenshot layer, the new layer shows the painted line in the colour I want but its not showing in the screenshot layer.
What am I missing?
T I A .
These layers modes work in the HSV model: in that model the color is not expressed as a mix of R, G, B, but as a Hue, a Saturation level (no saturation: black/gray/white) and a Value (luminosity, more or less). When you paint in the top layer which is in Color mode, the composition takes the Hue and Color from what you paint and keeps the Level from the bottom. Of course, if you paint in gray, there is no saturation and the Hue isn't even very well defined. In your case you don't want to change the color, you want to remove it.
Something you can do is use "Saturation" mode and paint with a color with not saturation (ie, gray).
Hi Ofnuts.
I think I will give it a miss, I have no idea what I am doing (truth be known, not enough experience with GIMP so don'y understand a lot of it) and I don't want to waste your or this forums time with what looks like basic stuff that I should know.
thank again
