Newb Help
I have my son's travel team logo that I am trying to clean up from a picture i took from a bumper sticker. My end goal is to pint a vinyl decal for the side of my son's goalie helmet.
I need to figure out how to make the colors solid as the camera made the grainy and to make the colors more solid. here is the pic but I dont see how to attach a picture here... http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/8655/9370.jpg Thank you all in advance... Sorry just noticed this is in the wrong area |

How to smooth out grainy colors/picture
Another tutorial for the books maybe ^_^ For a logo like rdaggett's with few colors its easy 1. Filter > Blur > selective blur 2. Try a setting of Blur radius: 10.00 & Max. delta: 70 3. click ok one other way (a little sharper) Threshold(top layer) 1. Duplicate your image/layer 2. Colors > Threshold 3. Click "auto" or set black triangle around 136 4. Change layer mode to: Value The colors will be a little lighter but little or no grain 5. click-select bottom layer and go to Colors > Curves -Bring down the curve until it resembles the original colors you had. "In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than fear of failure." BC ![]() iFS007 tut vids on YT ~ auto color B&W landscape tut |

(settings 6/6) ![]() but this logo would have started out as a vector image and a better solution is to turn it back to one. Nice clean logo, should be easy to 'trace' to a vector. What a pita. Became a challenge, much swopping between Gimp and Inkscape to get a result. A comparison between the original and the svg. ![]() If you are going to get these printed to vinyl, then the experts are at the inkscape forum. A printer might take the svg file as-is, I do not know. Otherwise, you can import the svg into Gimp at any scale you like, small or large, the definition remains the same. ** https://www.gimp-forum.net/ now answering questions** |
