Re: [Gimp-user] Cleaning up a Blueprint

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong primus ca>]

This is not meant to be nasty but since this appears to be a layered image, 
I would ask the architect, or the college, for the original floor plan sans 
mechanical ductwork. The maintenance dept. of the college no doubt has such 
a plan or an "as-built" if there have been modifications. You, or someone, 
could then have that scanned and digitized.

Subject: [Gimp-user] Cleaning up a Blueprint

Hello all,
I'm new to photo editing, especially gimp so I was hoping to get some help
with this. My new job would require me to scrub images like this down on a
somewhat regular basis (down to bare floor plan), what would be the best way 
to
go about it? Basically I just need to delete all of the black, but when I 
try to
the edges stay gray (Inherent to BMP's I'd guess). Also when I select just 
the
black, after I delete it the selectors stay visible. Any help would be
appreciated and I apologize for my ignorance. Thanks. PS, if there Isn't 
enough
resolution in the picture I could host one else where.
