Once the image is selected, it may be copied and pasted into another section of the same file, or into a separate file. The selection may also be saved in what is known as an alpha channel . A popular way to create a composite image is to use transparent layers .
Layers can be partially obscured allowing portions of images within a layer to be hidden or shown in a translucent manner within another image. Layers can also be used to combine two or more images into a single digital image. For the purpose of editing, working with layers allows for applying changes to just one specific layer.
The XCF file format is backward compatible (all versions of GIMP can open earlier versions' files) and in some cases, forward compatible. For example, GIMP 2.0 can save text in text layers while GIMP 1.2 cannot. Text layers saved in GIMP 2.0 will open as ordinary image layers in GIMP 1.2.
A sketch colored digitally with use of several different blend modes in order to preserve the pencil lines and paper texture below the color layers. Blend modes (alternatively blending modes [1] or mixing modes [2]) in digital image editing and computer graphics are used to determine how two layers are blended with each other.
The GNU Image Manipulation Program, commonly known by its acronym GIMP (/ ɡ ɪ m p / ⓘ GHIMP), is a free and open-source raster graphics editor [3] used for image manipulation (retouching) and image editing, free-form drawing, transcoding between different image file formats, and more specialized tasks.
Darktable, a raw photo post-processing application GIMP, a feature-rich general-purpose raster graphics editor. A raster graphics editor (also called bitmap graphics editor) is a computer program that allows users to create and edit images interactively on the computer screen and save them in one of many raster graphics file formats (also known as bitmap images) such as JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
A color spectrum image with an alpha channel that falls off to zero at its base, where it is blended with the background color.. In computer graphics, alpha compositing or alpha blending is the process of combining one image with a background to create the appearance of partial or full transparency. [1]
The lasso (or "free form selection") is an editing tool available, with minor variations, in most digital image editing software [1] and some specific strategy games.It is often accessed from the standard main menu (in Photoshop, [2] Paint Tool SAI, [3] and GIMP, [4] as common examples), by clicking the icon of a dotted line shaped like a rope lasso, from which the common name arises.
