    any GIMP handy bees? :  wedding gimp banner help Images

    In GIMP, how would I make everything but the outline of the banner transparent? I want to write in the banner as well as print it on colored paper. So lost!

    you need to select everything that you want to be transparent. you can do this with the magic wand tool. just from looking at the picture, i can tell the edges won't be clean, though. one method i've found around this is setting the threshold pretty high and then after you select it, feather the selection by 1-2 pixels.

     

    then, invert the selection and copy/paste onto a new image with a transparent background.

     

    there's probably other better ways to do this, but this is what first came to mind.

    If you've got a larger file size than what you uploaded here, I can do it again for you, no problem. It ain't no thang.

    PS instead of GIMP, adjusting your curves to set your white value, and ghost, a flaming pear filter, to knock out everything but the black.
