  • GIMP question

    From Dumas Walker@VERT/CAPCITY2 to All on Thu Apr 21 14:57:53 2022
    I use The GIMP for most of my photo manipulation. I have an image that I wouldãlike to use as a watermark on a video project. So, I would like to make thisãcurrently solid image somewhat see-through, so that whatever is in theãbackground will at least somewhat be visible.ããIf I do it in the video editor, Openshot, I can reduce the alpha for the trackãthat the solid image is a part of, and that will make it more transparent.ãHowever, as I plan to use the image often, I would like to be able to addãtransparency to the image when I save it in The Gimp, so that I only have toãremember to do it once.ããI have not been able to determine yet which tool in The Gimp corresponds to theãalpha property in Openshot. Does anyone have any suggestions?ããThanks!ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTPã

Does anyone have any suggestions?ããIf you're asking how you'd make something more transparent in Gimp, I'd use the layers.. make sure the background layer is transparent, then make the layer of your image less visable. Does that make sense?ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Zruspa's BBSã

Does that make sense?ããYes, it does. I was actually having trouble finding the opacity adjustmentãbecause I somehow accidentally hid the Gimp toolboxes from myself. :)ããthanks!ããã * SLMR 2.1a * Road Runner, the Coyote's after you!!!ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTPã
