Deselect any part that is supposed to remain transparent, and then shrink the selection by one. Use the color picker and fill with the background color. Either way, use the color picker to select the foreground color (being sure sample an average) and select the background color with your favorite tool and press delete.
The top layer (the bird) is partially transparent, so the background clearly can be seen through its wing. In this picture the top layer has a drop shadow, a red color overlay of 40%, a gradient overlay from red to yellow of 20% opacity, and a slight bevel effect.
Most graphics editing programs, such as Adobe Photoshop and GIMP, allow users to modify the basic blend modes, for example by applying different levels of opacity to the top "layer". The top "layer" is not necessarily a layer in the application; it may be applied with a painting or editing tool.
GIF animation of an Apollonian sphere packing with transparent background. Transparency in computer graphics is possible in a number of file formats.The term "transparency" is used in various ways by different people, but at its simplest there is "full transparency" i.e. something that is completely invisible.
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] It is often useful to render picture elements (pixels) in separate passes or layers and then combine the resulting 2D images into a single, final image called the composite .
XCF, short for eXperimental Computing Facility, [1] is the native image format of the GIMP image-editing program. It saves all of the data the program handles related to the image, including, among others, each layer, the current selection, channels, transparency, paths and guides.
The background image is used as the bottom layer, and the image with parts to be added are placed in a layer above that. Using an image layer mask , all but the parts to be merged is hidden from the layer, giving the impression that these parts have been added to the background layer.
The same differencing principle is used in the unsharp-masking tool in many digital-imaging software packages, such as Adobe Photoshop and GIMP. [1] The software applies a Gaussian blur to a copy of the original image and then compares it to the original. If the difference is greater than a user-specified threshold setting, the images are (in ...
