: Recolour image based on lower resolution version I want to recreate the following image at a much higher resolution, so it will be suitable for printing in large. I have found a place where

@Radia289

Just in case you still want to do it in Gimp, the easiest / fastest way would be something like this:


Open your image;
Using the Lasso or the Free Select Tool, select the area you want to re-color (the ice-cream itself);
Add a new layer, and using the selection you have created before, fill it with the color you want to use;
Go to the Layers tab, and in the dropdown select Overlay.




Source of Image (also contains explanations about layer modes)

You can re-use this layer for all the colors you need, just duplicate the overlay color layer and paint with a new color.

I realize this answer doesn't address your specific Gimp question, but it does provide a solution.

I find that font, along with its kerning and spacing, a bit atrocious.... But anyway.....

The easiest solution is to purchase the image as it is, not try to recolor the wrong image:



Click the image to load it at dreamstime.com
People often take the shortest possible route to something. That font choice, to me, makes it clear the creator isn't really a designer... so a stock photo or photo of the actual ice cream cones must exist somewhere. It was merely a matter of the right search terms to find it. The image, as it is, is already available at dreamstime.com as well as other stock sites I'm sure.

Stock photo + uncredited quote from W. Kamau Bell (Kamau saying this quote is used in an advertisement on Comedy Central to promote the next episode of his television show)... do you need permission for that? The original creator was merely "borrowing" content to begin with. Guess that's a different matter altogether. :)
