jpcummins Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I have GIMP 2, version 2.8.10 installed. Recently I viewed a tutorial on how to merge an object from one file into another file; looked very easy to do. But when I tried everything went fine until it was time to copy and paste the object (transparent background) into the other file. The 2 files I was using was png. If anyone can give me a hand I would appreciate it. As always I would appreciate all replies and would thank you in advance. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I use GIMP, but cannot answer your question. You would get a far better answer if you post in this forum. http://gimpforums.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpcummins Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 With the help from another forum I was able to acomplish what I was trying to do. Answers from the GIMP forum were a little over my head. Most I have done regarding pictures is to use the brightness and contrast tools. To delete backgrounds and add object to another file was very challenging for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Challenging or not, you sorted it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Well Done jpcummins! However, although John has managed to achieve his objective, I just did a search in an attempt to help anyone else trying to complete the same action. Since I do not personally use GIMP, perhaps John would confirm if he would have found the information this link a useful description:http://www.wikihow.com/Extract-an-Image-in-GIMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
