Good Day everyone,

 

First off hope everyone is being safe and staying sane through all of this.

 

This is my first post here so forgive me as I did do a search and could not find my issue.

Long story short, I want to change the color of the pax door outline. When I change the color it looks off as there is some pixels that I find hard to match or make it blend correct.

I am using Gimp and I tried youtube and other tutorials, but maybe I am not searching with the right verb-age.

 

Any assistance is appreciated.

 

Thanks in advanced

 

Yes I am a complete noob to this.

No sorry this advice is wrong, it'll make the doors look terrible and pixelated. Is there a way to use clipping masks or something of that sort in GIMP? In photoshop I just make another layer filled with a solid color (the color I want to repaint the doors to) above the door layer, then apply a clipping mask to fill the door layer with the need color. Maybe try figuring out how to do this in GIMP, that'll make it a lot easier for you.

Thanks for the advice, I think I know what you mean and will try. The picture in the first post is a fill bucket on the outline of the door and that's what you get.

@POTKC Not sure if on the same page, but I was able to figure it out and came out pretty good. Basically did an alpha to selection with a new layer and it worked the way I wanted.

 

Thanks for the assist.

Yeah that looks about right, good job! I guess that's the way to do it in GIMP if clipping masks aren't available.

If you use the "colorize" tool in gimp, you can color the doors on their specific layer to the color you want, provided you isolate the door frames on the layer (some templates come with isolated doors, others you will have to isolate yourself.)

That actually works as well, I think it works a little better than what I was doing. I really appreciate the all the advice on this.

 

Thanks for being understanding and nice people to a noob.

 

Thanks POTKC and Bobzesoviet (sorry guessing since I do not know russian).

That's an easier way to do it but the reason I always use the way I suggested is cause sometimes doors parts of door outlines have to be painted different colors, like if they intersect with titling, some part of the livery, etc. If a solid color is needed then yeah this is much simpler.
