man, you were right, it takes a long time. Great payoff though, it really looks good in the end.

I still don't really get what you mean.You could try using colorize in the colour menu. Set the hue to 360 and the saturation to 100 (for example) and you get an interesting Red and Black image, which sounds like the sort of thing you might be after?Is it? :)Could you send me a link to a picture that shows the effect you are after? It might help.

with my old camera i could aim it at something...and i can pick a color from it make only 1 color like red and make the rest black and white but can it be done in gimp without using the pop art, beacuse pop art isnt as much realistic, sorry if im confusing you.

Just black and white...no grey? Do I understand you correctly?Follow the steps up until the matte colour part, and then just block out the areas you want to be black instead of colouring in.There might be a plug-in that does this, but I've not tried so I don't know.

thanks, but can you make it only one color, my old camera could but i got a new better one.
