1.1 Tool Introduction:
In this part of the lab, we will use an image editing tool such as GIMP. These tools allow us to
manipulate images, including changing backgrounds by selecting the subject and replacing the
original background with a new one. GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a versatile
open-source image editing tool equipped with a wide range of features for both simple and
advanced image manipulation.

1.2 Steps to Change Background:

Step 1. Open the Image:
Open the image file in the editing tool.
Step 2. Select the Subject:
Use the selection tool, such as the Magic Wand or Lasso tool, to carefully select the subject of
the image that you want to keep.
Step 3. Cut the selected area:
After selecting the subject, press Ctrl and X to cut the selected area.
Step 4. Insert the New Background:
Open the new background image in the same workspace. Drag and drop it under the subject
layer.
Step 5. Adjust Position and Size:
Resize and reposition the subject if necessary to fit well with the new background.
Step 6. Save the Final Image:
Once satisfied with the results, save the final edited image in the desired format.

Step 3. Separate the Channels:
Select each channel (Red, Green, and Blue) one at a time and save them as individual grayscale
images.
Step 4. Save Each Channel:
Save each of these grayscale images as separate files named accordingly (e.g., "Red.jpg,"
"Green.jpg," "Blue.jpg").
2.3 Steps to Combine RGB Components:
Step 1. Open the RGB Images:
Open the saved grayscale images for each channel.
Step 2. Merge the Channels:
In the channels panel, place each grayscale image into the corresponding Red, Green,
and blue channels to combine them back into a single color image.
Step 3. Save the Combined Image:
Save the resulting image that combines the original RGB components.

 Lab Report 6: Converting Raster Images to Vector Using Inkscape

Objective:
To convert a raster image (e.g a photograph or bitmap) into a vector graphic using Inkscape, an
open-source vector graphics editor.

Tools Introduction:

Inkscape is a powerful tool for creating and editing vector graphics. Unlike raster images, which
are made up of pixels, vector images use mathematical equations to represent shapes. This makes
them scalable without loss of quality. Converting a raster image to a vector involves tracing the
image, converting pixel data into paths and shapes. This process is essential for tasks such as logo
creation, printing, and resizing images for different purposes.

User interface:

Step 1. Open the Image, and click on ok button

Step 2. To start, click on arrow indicate selector tool and click on trace bitmap from path, then
using single scan we can just select autotrace , update it and click on ok button.

Step 3: And to make color we can just click on path and trace bitmap, then select multiple scan
and choose color, make smooth, or remove background, update it and click on ok button.
