Edit the Colour

[KittenKatja]

I have the Origin image and the desired colour...

But how can i change the colour, without having that light from up-left go weird?

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Use the Recolor tool

 

Here's how:

1. Open the gray image.
2. Activate the Color Picker tool
3. Right-click on the darker gray portion of the icon to select the gray shade as the Secondary color.
4. Set the Primary color to FF96DC (you can copy & paste the hex code into the color window's text box)
5. Activate the Recolor tool
6. Set the toolbar option to Sampling Secondary
7. Set the Brush width to something large like 60px
8. With the left mouse button held down, cover the icon in large sweeping strokes until it's all recolored.

Thx, can the white area be excluded from it?

 

EDIT: found out myself

Found out myself

[KittenKatja]

Can it be used to crop images?

[IRON67]

It? You mean Paint.NET? Of course. Make a selection and then crop it.

No i mean in like, getting the perfect outline of a fictional character, that the black border covering it dont look weird, when transparence is added.

[Ego Eram Reputo]

I'm having trouble understanding what you are asking. I suspect English is not your first language?

 

Can you post an example of what you want to do?

[KittenKatja]

Like when you want to remove some of the white of your picture, in the signature, to give it tranceparency without making the head or everything else look weird.

[Ego Eram Reputo]

I'm still not sure, however I'll give you a couple of suggestions:

 

1. Save your image as a PNG because these images support transparency (JPG does not).

 

2. If you're deleting part of an image and you want to soften the edge where the transparent pixels appear, try AA's Assistant or BoltBait's Feather

 

[KittenKatja]

This time i tried to crop a part of your avatar, but it looks weird.

You might see it, when u have it downloaded... xD

[Ego Eram Reputo]

What tool are you using? Please give me a step-by-step guide to what you're doing.

[KittenKatja]

The example was made with elypse and the rest with normal square selection.

i made an example of what weird it is for every single pixel.

When that thing is looking up, then its at it's backhead.

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Try this:

 

1. open the image

2. activate the rectangle select tool

3. Drag out a selection around the part of the image you want

4. Press Ctrl and Shift and X at the same time.

5. File > Save as... and save the image as a PNG by selecting the PNG extension from the dropdown list - don't type it in.

 

Does that work?

 

[KittenKatja]

This and the last were in png.

[IRON67]

If I'm right you want to avoid the (white) edges around your cropped objects.

 

You can eliminate this by using either AA's Assistant or Tweak Transparency.

 

A personal note: You should use more words to describe your problems. It's hard to understand you.

To expand on what Iron67 said, "weird" is not a technical description. Something more specific would be helpful

[KittenKatja]

If all the white were tranceparence, then gif-x would, even when jpg is wanted, do a bimp out of it with deep pink instead of transparency.

Here i have an example, what colour i want to remove now and get the tranceparency back.

(This problem appeared yesterday)

[KittenKatja]

Is there now a way or not?

[AndrewDavid]

Hi @KittenKatja 

 

I had a look at what you have now and can honestly say you have destroyed it.

At this point you need to load the original image and start again.

It is still unclear to me as to what you want to accomplish.

[Eli]

If you are trying to remove the white background around EER you need to select the background using the Lasso Select tool and then press Delete. If you use the Magic wand to select the background you are also going to select EER's white pijamas and when you press Delete you will actually remove parts of EER's body.

[Ego Eram Reputo]

*nobody* removes my pajamas!

[KittenKatja]

I want to Remove the white on the left side, to have a circle, like the right side.

BUT without copy/mirror/paste the right onto the left.

[AndrewDavid]

 

 

try this

 

Duplicate the layer

draw line halfway from top to bottom

use magic wand to select white left side

switch to bottom layer and press delete

look at bottom layer

[MadJik]

Kittenkatja provide the circle with transparency on the right side. As the background is white we can't see it clearly. I copy/paste the image in paint.net an add a blue background.

 

I keep the top part as it is and work on the bottom part to remove the white.

Kittenkatja want to erase the white pixels. Antialias or Feather plugins aren't efficient enough.

Keep in mind the circle is an example from Kittenkatja and she want to use the solution on some other subject/object/pijamas.

 

I would suggest to Kittenkatja :

1. Showing the picture you are working on is better than doing expectations on a basic circle. Depending on the image the solution could be different.

2. If possible work on the largest image. The white pixels will be unsignificant after reduction.

 

[Eli]

For me, it would be faster and easier to start with a new empty layer and trace a new circle with the Shapes tool.
