How do I get realistic distance representation using GIMP?
=============================================

Thanks for your input to my postings. I am using GIMP 2.8. I am not an expert.

I have two images (image1 & image 2). I have same object in image 1 & image 2, but the object is displaced between images. I used GIMP to overlay both the images to figure out the displaced distance. Here is what I did.

I created the 1st image from clipboard, I open a new layer and placed the 2nd object. I adjusted the opacity to provide transparency between image 1 & image 2 . I find image 2 is layered on top of image 1, but the displaced distance is not representing realistically on layered image. I tried with zoom. Images look odd.

How do I make the images to be sync to displaced distance?

I am attaching the layered image for review.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi
It would be better to simply upload a png or jpg of the file and not a pdf.

Thanks for chiming in. I tried to make png or jpg format for this posting. It did not work out. That was the reason, I posted in pdf. I welcome some suggestions.

I am not able to save as png or jpg format using GIMP. I tried to copy & paste the layered image as shown in pdf (before making to pdf) to paint. it copies only current layer from GIMP. I means it brings only single image.

Let me know, how to make png or jpg format of layered image of GIMP?

I will be glad to satisfy your request.

Thanks for helping.

Hi,
You need to Export as in gimp to be able to use different image formats.

Thanks for your guidance. I uploaded the overlay-ed image in .png format. I uploaded the raw images to build this overlay-ed image. The images are in individual .zip files. I hope this helps.

Thanks for helping.

Update

For some reason it is now allowing me to upload the .png file. I clicked the upload and communicating with server. Loaded files are not showing up. When I have .pdf or .zip, it is loading without any issues.

I uploaded the images in photobucket. Here are the links.

Raw image 2

How do I mask or erase the part or parts of the file or files that make it look unrealistic in above image?

Thanks again for helping.

Okay well
Still not sure why you're using zipped files besides the large file size :/
I personally am not going tom download something just to look at it.

Either way if you want something to be seen more realistic and can't using layer modes or rearranging the layers
If that doesn't work mask or erase the part or parts of the file or files that make it look unrealistic.

Hi,
Okay now upload the separate images you're using to photo bucket as well so I might have an idea of what you're working with.

Thanks for your Layer Masking tutorial. Good to learn some new stuff. It won't have happen without you.

If you review my separate images (base images), I am working with. Both are not on same zoom level. I mean that image 2 is a distant view with displacement.

What is the beast way to overlay these two images by preserving displacement?

The tutorial did not address this piece.

Hi,
All I see is these 2 images
Not sure where all of the glare is coming from or if that is what you're referring to ?

Thanks. There are 3 images in total. There are two images below (small). These two images are used to make top image (over-layered with small images shown below). The glare is coming from original small images showing below.

I was talking about the original small images are in different zoom level. I mean that image 2 (right side small image ) is a distant view with displacement.

If I put together these 2 images into top image, the distance part is not aligned in top image. I mean the top image shows shorter displacement compare to original 2 small images.

Is there a way to align the distance part in top image relation to original small images?

Thanks for helping.

Sorry man I don't know which the 2 small images are and which is the top image

I am referring to your post # 10. I hope you downloaded images from following photobucket links.

Overlayered Image -- Top image showing in your post (both cars on same image)

Raw Image 1 -- Small Image shows below (left) in your post #10

Raw image 2 -- Small Image shows below (right) in your post #10

Update:

Mike's Image --- I took your image posted on post # 10. I marked the Top image, small image 1 & small image 2 . Will it help you?

I hope this helps.

Thanks for helping with GIMP.

I find that GIMP has scaling & measuring(digital) capability. I posted two images that describe the movement/displacement of CAR(objects).

I know the length of the car is 15.7 feet.(Known measurement).

Is there a way to use GIMP to depict/calculate the distance traveled (unknown measurement) using Image 1 & Image 2?

We can use the points in rear bumper of the cars to traverse the distance. Is it doable?

Thanks for helping.
