First things first, there is actually nothing as a circular image. Images that appear circular are due to the fact that the corners are made transparent and shaped such that a circle is portrayed.



With that clarification, I believe you have a clue about what you will do.



So you can go about it as follows:



First, make sure that your layer has an “alpha channel”.



Layer → Transparency → Add alpha channel



If it’s greyed out it means you already have one



enter image description here



  • Create a circular selection with the “Ellipse select tool” (the 2nd one in the toolbox).

enter image description here



Use the “Tool options” dialog



Windows → Dockable dialogs → Tool options



enter image description here



a) If you want a true circle, use the Fixed option: select Aspect ratio and enter 1:1.



b) Depending on what kind of marks you have, you can use:



i) The diagonal framing (default): click on one corner, drag across a full diagonal and release at the opposite corner.



ii) The radial framing (check Expand from center in the Tool options): click on the center, drag across a half diagonal release on a corner.



  • If the selection isn’t perfect on the first try, you can move it (click around the middle) or extend it (click inside, near a border or a corner).


  • Once you have the required selection, invert the selection (Select → Invert, or Ctrl-I) so that everything is selected, except your circle.


  • Erase the selection (Edit → Clear or [Delete] key). You should have your central circle left, surrounded by a checkerboard pattern. (this checkerboard is not part of the image, it just indicates the transparent parts of the image).


  • You can reduce the checkerboard to the minimum by auto-cropping the image (Image → Autocrop image)


  • Last, save the image in a format that supports transparency, like PNG (JPEG doesn’t support transparent images…)


  • If you are going to work further on the picture, save it as XCF (Gimp native format).

Which professions warranted travel in Medieval times?

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 54 down vote favorite 15 I'm trying to come up with characters whose backgrounds allow them to have homes, histories, and skills, but will still enable or encourage them to travel in a typical medieval setting. I've never really liked "Adventurer" as a job, and would like my story to have a kind of unlikely-hero vibe. besides the common "Traveling merchant", what kinds of artisans or professionals in fantasy would have a reason to move around the world (or at least visit other settlements)? First time posting, so let me know what to improve. Thanks!

How do so many people here on Academia.SE, and in general, afford lavish higher education programs?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 45 down vote favorite 7 I graduated last year with a BS in Computer Science. I do not come from a particularly wealthy family, (very low middle class), and was only able to afford my education via school loans/scholarships and working low-wage jobs, with no support from my family or anyone else. I realize some scholarship/loan programs extend into grad school. But I don't think those cover all costs. Now I'm lucky enough to have a decent-paying salary in industry, along with benefits and living on my own, and I'm thinking one day (sooner rather than later) I'd like to try my hand at research or continue my degree, but these things cost money, in addition to my regular living expenses. I read posts here often about academic people being in positions of choosing between these crazy research grad programs, some in Japan, or Ireland (while they currently live in the U.S./U.K.) then moving around between countries/universit...
