Remove background from an image with Gimp and Masking

This skill is useful as you can take pics of your friends and place them in different places that they have never been! There are a couple of tricks to make your work easier and results look better. I’ve written some notes to accompany this video, but there’s also 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Import the image, add transparency
Once you import an image it will not have transparency. For this you will need to highlight the layer, colors-> transparency -> add alpha channel. You will notice that the layer name goes from bold to not bold. Duplicate the layer, just in case of a mistake.

dailyfeed.co.uk are thieves, stealing my bandwidth

dailyfeed.co.uk is using an image straight from my site and therefore stealing my bandwidth. I have tried to contact them but cannot find an email address.

One of their articles: http://www.dailyfeed.co.uk/2016/03/13-things-found-every-00s-kids-bedroom/6/ takes an image from my site. Why they are so cheap and not store the image on their site I do not know. I have banned them as a referrer, so hope this will stop.

Theft, and no less. Assholes. Alex Taylor, owner of dailyfeed.co.uk, you are an asshole.

I have contacted their ISP, cloudflare.com:

WordPress Pinboard Theme: Fixing the Top Banner

Overall the Pinboard 1.0.7 and 1.0.10 themes for WordPress is a really lovely theme. It has lots of features and nice functionality. However you really never know a theme until you put a site into production and stumble upon its features and flaws. For Pinboard, I struggled with formatting the top banner for hours, until I discovered it’s secrets. While there is a forum for Pinboard, their help was sparse.

Site Title and Tagline: I wanted an image banner the width of the screen, or close to it. Pinboard has an option of a small banner coupled with a text site name and tagline. Since my graphic banner would include my site name and tag line, I turned off this feature.
