![]() Since this method is far too nuanced and complicated to try explaining via written text, I’d suggest watching the following video tutorial I created a while back. Grab the Paths tool by clicking the icon indicated above or by using the keyboard shortcut, which is B. This is the ideal method to use if there is simply not enough contrast between your image’s subject and background for the previous methods to work. The Paths tool allows you to create a selection by manually placing smooth lines and curves via node placement. This is the method that was used to crop the bird image in the header of this post - the Paths tool. This is the method that requires the most skill and takes the most time, but it’s also the best method of using GIMP to delete background to transparent in my opinion because it produces the cleanest, most professional result. If it’s easier for you to create a selection from your foreground/subject instead, go ahead and do so, then just go to Select > Clear before deleting the selection. Once you’d created a selection from your background, press Delete on your keyboard, or go to Edit > Clear if you’re using Mac. You can also select additional shades of the same color by holding Shift and clicking on them as well. You can increase the size of the selection by clicking and dragging to the right, or decrease it by clicking and dragging to the left. Grab the Select By Color tool by clicking on the icon highlighted above, or by simply pressing Shift + O on your keyboard.Īs previously mentioned, simply click on a segment of the image that contains the color you’d like to delete. This tool works great if you have an image where your background consists of just a single color and maybe a few different shades of it. Once you click on a specific pixel with this tool, it will create a selection around it and every other pixel with the same color. Method 2: Select By Color ToolĪn even simpler method - similar to the Fuzzy Select Tool - is the Select By Color tool. Nothing will change visibly on the screen when you do this, but what happened is you inverted the selection so that you now have the background selected and not the foreground. Once you’ve done that, simply press Delete. Since you want to delete the background and not the subject, simply go to Select > Invert. If you created the selection by clicking on your subject, you’ll only have your subject selected. If you created the selection by clicking on the background, simply press Delete on your keyboard (or go to Edit > Clear if using Mac) and you will have successfully used GIMP to delete your image’s background to transparent. This will create a dotted outline around your subject known as a selection. You can add to your selection by holding Shift and clicking on another area, and you can remove unwanted selections by holding Control and clicking on them. Drag the cursor to the right to increase the size of the selection and to the left to decrease it. With the tool selected, click and drag on your subject to create a selection. ![]() It would be great to be able to throw a bunch of PNG files in a directory and have a program auto-composite them, maybe using filenames for Z-ordering.Grab the Fuzzy Select Tool by clicking on the icon highlighted in the above image, or simply press U on your keyboard. Also it would be great if GIMP could output ImageMagick code for combining layers in a way that approximates GIMP’s compositions- possibly in the comment metadata. My main problem with it is there is no “save all” functionality, nor is there a “save layers to separate PNG files” type dealie, nor automated. Some do, like Firefux.) It seems it doesn’t exist anymore, though. I think pasted layers would only have an alpha defined if they were cut/copied with alpha (some viewers and browsers don’t have that ability, like Irfanview. ![]() In a previous version of GIMP, there was some option to auto-add alpha to any non color-indexed images coming in via ‘open file’. I put in ‘A’, possibly reassigning something else. Search for “alpha”, it will be your first hit “layers-alpha-add”. ![]() Goto Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts, a Window will open. I should add my fave method, which is approx 1 second faster than the others. Thanks Thomas, and BTW: nice site you got here.

In the era of APFC PSUs all UPS from a big brand must be Sine wave. But I expect even basic model from brand like APC to have better "Transfer time". But they are less reputed than APC, so I will stick with APC. Many other brands are offering Transfer time in 4-8ms in this price range. So, again, it is always better for UPS transfer time to be lower. Less the transfer time, less the capacitor is discharged and less is the Inrush current. This current is Inrush current and can cause UPS to shutdown because of overload. This does not happen for me.Īlso during this delay of "Transfer time" capacitors in PSU gets discharged, causing a larger than normal current to charge capacitors when power is resumed after the tiny delay. If PSUs capaitor are unable to handle "Transfer time", PC will restart in most cases. So it is always better for UPS transfer time to be lower. Even branded PSUs of huge brands fall short on this parameter by a little bit. So Max of 12ms from this UPS should be acceptable. PSUs have some energy in their capacitors. This Delay is "Transfer time." PSUs are supposed to handle this "Transfer time" to extent of about 15ms. There is a Tiny time delay in switching on battery power of UPS. Now for those who don't know about "Transfer Time", most of the UPS in market do not provide power backup upon Mains electricity failure "INSTANTLY". Even APC itself suggests Sine-wave UPS for APFC PSUs, and if you have a decent PC bought in last 10 years it most probably has APFC PSU. Today in era of APFC PSUs, Sine-wave UPS are preferred, but sine-wave UPS are basically not available in India or are priced too highly. Anything above it from APC costs considerably more both in initial purchase and later in Battery replacement costs. Now let me explain to the extent of my understanding why it sometimes fails in rare circumstances. I will explain it in a bit more detail ahead.Īnyway I will not return this unit because this is the best I can get for this amount of money from a big brand. ![]() It is momentary overload when electricity fails. As a matter of fact I can Cold Start my UPS when Mains electricity is OFF and I can load my PC maximally (both GPU and CPU) for a few minutes on battery backup without problem.So too much load is not the problem. And adding maximum losses from 80PLUS PSU, it still does not ask for more than 540 watts. Now before you guys start telling me I should go for a larger UPS, the recommended PSU for my combo of CPU and GPU (ryzen3500 and GTX 1060) is less than 450 watts. ![]() ![]() It fails with UPS being "overloaded" when electricity fails. This UPS does fail my PC sometimes when load on my GPU and CPU is high and Mains electricity fails again and again within seconds.That is a rare occurrence. I have this UPS because of the way the power management is setup where I live but I would always recommend investing in a Sinewave Inverter. I don’t need it for power backup but testing indicates that this can support a ps5 and a gaming monitor for 15-20 minutes (on battery saver mode). I mainly wanted to protect my ps5 and gaming monitor from the power surges that may happen in the intermittent stages of power going out and generators kicking in and then the main power coming back all in the span of a single minute. Where I live if there’s a powercut the generators take 10-15 seconds to kick in. Now to speak about my experience: I am happy because it works as intended. You can turn off the switch on the UPS when you are not using your connected peripherals but the outlet switch has to stay on always. Once this is connected to a power outlet that power outlet has to stay ON always because of the way the battery works: it trickle charging continuously topping up and discharging through cycles. ![]() Your computer will then provide you with a prompt: click anywhere on the screen to begin recording the entire screen. ![]() When your screen is fully adjusted and positioned the way you would like it, click on the Record button to begin your recording.
