Fedora Classroom - How to wow your friends with awesome GIMP tricks! - Máirín Duffy - Sunday, December 7, 2008
| ---nirik has changed the topic to: Fedora IRC Classroom - How to wow your friends with awesome Gimp tricks! with your teacher Máirín Duffy ( mizmo ) - See Communicate/IRC/Classroom for schedule of classes today. | Dec 07 13:45 | |
| nirik | mizmo: you ready? | Dec 07 13:45 |
|---|---|---|
| mizmo | sure | Dec 07 13:45 |
| mizmo | so who's here for the gimp talk? | Dec 07 13:45 |
| dgrift | i am | Dec 07 13:45 |
| SSlater | me | Dec 07 13:45 |
| Roobarb-Home | *waves* | Dec 07 13:45 |
| LukasT_away | me too | Dec 07 13:46 |
| mizmo | cool what versions of gimp do y'all have? | Dec 07 13:46 |
| *mj0vy1 started GIMP | Dec 07 13:46 | |
| mizmo | im going to be using 2.6, which is in fedora 10 | Dec 07 13:46 |
| mj0vy1 | 2.4.5 | Dec 07 13:46 |
| dgrift | 2.6.2 | Dec 07 13:46 |
| SSlater | 2.4.3 | Dec 07 13:47 |
| mizmo | Roobarb-Home, LukasT_away? | Dec 07 13:47 |
| LukasT_away | mizmo: 2.6 | Dec 07 13:47 |
| Roobarb-Home | 2.6 | Dec 07 13:47 |
| ---LukasT_away is now known as LukasT | Dec 07 13:47 | |
| mizmo | okay | Dec 07 13:47 |
| mizmo | so there are some differences in the way the menus are arranged between 2.4 and 2.6 | Dec 07 13:47 |
| mizmo | so if i say to go somewhere and you can't find it let me know, okay? | Dec 07 13:48 |
| mizmo | everyone should fire up gimp now :) | Dec 07 13:48 |
| *nirik doesn't seem to have it installed on the laptop... installing now. | Dec 07 13:49 | |
| mizmo | okay cool | Dec 07 13:49 |
| mizmo | we're going to start with a photo that i found on the creative commons search engine | Dec 07 13:49 |
| mizmo | just a remark upfront, when you're working with photos and other sourced artwork, check the license before you use it | Dec 07 13:49 |
| zcat | mizmo, have enough bandwidth for a view-only VNC from many? | Dec 07 13:49 |
| mizmo | it can be pretty heartbreaking to come up with an awesome image and later discover that you used something with a bad license and you have to throw out your awesome image | Dec 07 13:50 |
| mizmo | zcat, i dont think so, what i'm going to do is try to put stuff up at http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp | Dec 07 13:50 |
| mizmo | on-the-fly screenshots, etc | Dec 07 13:50 |
| zcat | ok, that works | Dec 07 13:50 |
| mizmo | hopefully i dont run out of disk space :) | Dec 07 13:50 |
| mizmo | so anyhow, i used the cc search engine to find a source image: http://search.creativecommons.org/ | Dec 07 13:51 |
| mizmo | i checked off search for works i can use for commercial purposes and works i can modify, adapt, or build upon | Dec 07 13:51 |
| mizmo | so i'd know i was pretty much in the clear on whatever i wanted to do | Dec 07 13:51 |
| mizmo | here's the image I fonud: | Dec 07 13:52 |
| mizmo | http://flickr.com/photos/gaetanlee/2482895280/ | Dec 07 13:52 |
| mizmo | (note the license in the lower right corner of flickr photos, if you hover over the license link it'll give you an idea of what the exact cc license is) | Dec 07 13:52 |
| mizmo | for the highest quality let's work with the original image size | Dec 07 13:53 |
| mizmo | so go ahead and download http://flickr.com/photos/gaetanlee/2482895280/sizes/o/ | Dec 07 13:53 |
| mizmo | and let me know when you're ready to go :) | Dec 07 13:53 |
| mizmo | (open it up in gimp, too) | Dec 07 13:53 |
| mizmo | :) | Dec 07 13:53 |
| LukasT | File-> Open Location -> paste URL | Dec 07 13:53 |
| mizmo | i actually like to save to my hard drive first, and i try to put the flickr id in the filename when i save so if i have to look up the artist's name later to give them credit, i can | Dec 07 13:54 |
| mizmo | but its a personal preference thing | Dec 07 13:54 |
| *nirik is getting a 'convert to rgb working space?' dialog | Dec 07 13:54 | |
| dgrift | convert to RGB working space? | Dec 07 13:54 |
| mizmo | dgrift, it should already be in RGB | Dec 07 13:55 |
| mizmo | dgrift, if gimp is asking you to convert it to RGB then go ahead | Dec 07 13:55 |
| dgrift | it is ADOBE RGB (1998) | Dec 07 13:55 |
| Roobarb-Home | A-RGB vs sRGB I think | Dec 07 13:55 |
| mizmo | weird, it didn't ask me about that | Dec 07 13:55 |
| nirik | "The image has an embeded color profile: ADOBE RGB (1998)..." | Dec 07 13:55 |
| LukasT | me to get question | Dec 07 13:55 |
| nirik | it does have a 'don't show me this again' checkbox. | Dec 07 13:56 |
| mizmo | ah could be i have it not bug me about that | Dec 07 13:56 |
| LukasT | mizmo: can you explain the differencies? | Dec 07 13:56 |
| LukasT | mizmo: between sRgb and argb? | Dec 07 13:56 |
| mizmo | LukasT, to be honest i am not much of an expert on color profiles | Dec 07 13:56 |
| LukasT | mizmo: i see :) | Dec 07 13:56 |
| mizmo | LukasT, and it's really hard to find information on them | Dec 07 13:56 |
| LukasT | let's continue | Dec 07 13:56 |
| Roobarb-Home | one is better for printing, the other for screens | Dec 07 13:57 |
| LukasT | so I | Dec 07 13:57 |
| LukasT | m converting :) | Dec 07 13:57 |
| mizmo | Roobarb-Home, in my understanding RGB is never for printing | Dec 07 13:57 |
| mizmo | Roobarb-Home, for printing you either use CMYK, which is offset, or pantone spot colors | Dec 07 13:57 |
| mizmo | when you use RGB for printing, you get things like purple fedora CDs (yes this happened for the fedora 7 media :) ) | Dec 07 13:57 |
| mizmo | everybody ready to continue? | Dec 07 13:58 |
| LukasT | yep | Dec 07 13:58 |
| dgrift | i am | Dec 07 13:58 |
| *nirik nods. | Dec 07 13:58 | |
| mizmo | okay so the first thing i'm going to go over is masking | Dec 07 13:58 |
| mizmo | so when a lot of folks first start out with the gimp and similar tools, they tend to use the eraser tool a lot | Dec 07 13:58 |
| mizmo | sometimes they might erase something they didn't mean to, and then have to press "undo" a million times | Dec 07 13:59 |
| mizmo | well, there is no need for that with masks | Dec 07 13:59 |
| mizmo | you basically apply a mask to your image, depending on the type of mask, if you paint white on the mask then you'll be painting your image, if you paint black on the mask then you'll be "erasing" your image | Dec 07 13:59 |
| mizmo | shades of grey make the image show up partly transparent depending on the depth of the grey | Dec 07 14:00 |
| mizmo | if you make a mistake 'erasing' with your black strokes, you can go back and fix it by repainting your image with white | Dec 07 14:00 |
| mizmo | it'll become clear when we go ahead and do it | Dec 07 14:00 |
| mizmo | so what i want you to do first is click on the 'duplicate layer' button in the 'layers' palette | Dec 07 14:00 |
| mizmo | if you cant find the layers palette, go to windows > dockable dialogs > layers or hit ctrl + L | Dec 07 14:01 |
| mizmo | clicking the 'duplicate layer' button should give you a second copy of the image | Dec 07 14:01 |
| <--mj0vy has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | Dec 07 14:01 | |
| mizmo | and it should be called "Background copy" | Dec 07 14:01 |
| mizmo | what i then like to do is click the little eyeball icon to the left of the background layer and hide it | Dec 07 14:02 |
| mizmo | i keep it around as a 'backup copy' just in case | Dec 07 14:02 |
| mizmo | everyone following so far? | Dec 07 14:02 |
| LukasT | yep | Dec 07 14:02 |
| dgrift | yes | Dec 07 14:02 |
| mizmo | okay so what we do next is right click that second copy layer, which is our working layer | Dec 07 14:03 |
| mizmo | and about halfway down the layer select "add layer mask" | Dec 07 14:03 |
| mizmo | initialize the layer to white (full opacity) | Dec 07 14:03 |
| mizmo | here's a screenshot so far (http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss1.png) | Dec 07 14:04 |
| <--dgrift has quit ("Lost terminal") | Dec 07 14:04 | |
| mizmo | so notice you've now got the girl in a little preview on the left and to the right side youve got a little white layer | Dec 07 14:05 |
| mizmo | the white layer is your mask | Dec 07 14:05 |
| -->egrift (n=egrift@tongrift.xs4all.nl) has joined #fedora-classroom | Dec 07 14:05 | |
| mizmo | if you want to see what the mask looks like, you can right click the layer and click 'show layer mask' | Dec 07 14:05 |
| ---egrift is now known as dgrift | Dec 07 14:05 | |
| mizmo | note that by default, when you add a layer mask to an image, "edit layer mask" is always on by default | Dec 07 14:06 |
| mizmo | sometimes you can be trying to draw on the working image itself and get frustrated that you don't seem to be affecting it - if it's got a mask, look at that checkbox to see if that is what's going on :) | Dec 07 14:06 |
| mizmo | so go ahead and click 'show layer mask' on the layer | Dec 07 14:06 |
| -->alsadi (n=alsadi@fedora/alsadi) has joined #fedora-classroom | Dec 07 14:07 | |
| mizmo | and here's our first, rather weird trick, | Dec 07 14:07 |
| mizmo | we're going to paint with this poor girl :) | Dec 07 14:07 |
| mizmo | fill in the layer mask with black | Dec 07 14:07 |
| mizmo | and then in white, use the brush tool to draw a silly little sketch or write something | Dec 07 14:08 |
| LukasT | nice :) | Dec 07 14:08 |
| mizmo | to see your strange painting, right click the layer and uncheck 'show layer mask' | Dec 07 14:09 |
| mizmo | you may want to click 'new layer' and fill it with white, then move it under your working layer to get a better look at your wonderful new art :) | Dec 07 14:09 |
| mizmo | here's mine: | Dec 07 14:10 |
| mizmo | before: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss2.png | Dec 07 14:10 |
| mizmo | after: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss3.png | Dec 07 14:10 |
| Roobarb-Home | ooh freaky | Dec 07 14:11 |
| mizmo | you can do this with any type of source image | Dec 07 14:11 |
| mizmo | so sometimes, you might see text that is written with say letters made out of fire, or made out of ice, or made out of metal | Dec 07 14:11 |
| mizmo | sometimes what artists do is get a source image that is a picture of fire, ice, metal, or some other texture | Dec 07 14:11 |
| mizmo | then use a mask to make that texture the filling for their letters or work | Dec 07 14:12 |
| mizmo | this works better than the pattern fill tool, | Dec 07 14:12 |
| mj0vy1 | great..! | Dec 07 14:12 |
| mizmo | because you can click and drag the mask to find the best spot within the texture/pattern for the fill to sit in | Dec 07 14:12 |
| Roobarb-Home | ah nice | Dec 07 14:12 |
| mizmo | okay so here's one more advanced technique for this trick :) | Dec 07 14:12 |
| mizmo | take your backup copy of the girl | Dec 07 14:12 |
| mizmo | move it to the top of the layer stack | Dec 07 14:13 |
| behdad | photofonts! | Dec 07 14:13 |
| mizmo | and the opacity slider at the top of the layers list? while having your backup girl selected in the layers palette, move the slider to about 50% | Dec 07 14:13 |
| mizmo | now, right click your working layer, and 'show layer mask' again | Dec 07 14:13 |
| -->Skarllot (n=fabricio@189.34.158.224) has joined #fedora-classroom | Dec 07 14:13 | |
| mizmo | clear off your layer mask - you can just hit ctrl+a to select all in the layer mask, and ctrl+x to erase it | Dec 07 14:14 |
| mizmo | everyone with me? | Dec 07 14:14 |
| <--alsadi (n=alsadi@fedora/alsadi) has left #fedora-classroom | Dec 07 14:14 | |
| <--SMParrish_mobile has quit () | Dec 07 14:15 | |
| *nirik thinks so. | Dec 07 14:15 | |
| mj0vy1 | yes ..(guess) | Dec 07 14:15 |
| mizmo | basically what we're doing here is superimposing a partially-transparent copy of the original image ON TOP OF the layer mask | Dec 07 14:15 |
| mizmo | so we can see the source image while we work with the mask | Dec 07 14:15 |
| mizmo | this enables you to do creepy things like only show (if the source image is a person) the person's eyes, mouth, and ears | Dec 07 14:16 |
| mizmo | so fill your layer mask in with black again | Dec 07 14:16 |
| mizmo | and get out your brush, using white as the color | Dec 07 14:16 |
| mizmo | and trace over the girl's eyes and mouth | Dec 07 14:16 |
| mizmo | (her ears arent very visible :) ) | Dec 07 14:17 |
| mizmo | one trick that is handy to know here | Dec 07 14:18 |
| mizmo | is that you can use the magic wand selection tool on the layer of the girl above the mask, | Dec 07 14:18 |
| mizmo | then select the mask layer in the layer dialog | Dec 07 14:18 |
| mizmo | and use the selection from the top layer in the mask layer | Dec 07 14:19 |
| mizmo | im using that technique to select her sunglasses to fill them in white | Dec 07 14:19 |
| mizmo | in the mask | Dec 07 14:19 |
| mizmo | here's my work in progress: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss4.png | Dec 07 14:19 |
| -->foolish (n=foolish@fedora/foolish) has joined #fedora-classroom | Dec 07 14:21 | |
| mizmo | when you're happy with your mask, of course | Dec 07 14:21 |
| mizmo | right click the working layer, and uncheck 'show layer mask' | Dec 07 14:21 |
| mizmo | mine looks really funny lol, let me show you | Dec 07 14:21 |
| mizmo | http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss5.png | Dec 07 14:22 |
| mizmo | so if i wanted to make this girl into a mr. potato head | Dec 07 14:22 |
| mizmo | i could look for a CC-BY licensed image of a potato | Dec 07 14:22 |
| mizmo | and put the potato right-side-up in a layer behind my working layer :) | Dec 07 14:22 |
| SSlater | How to take the selection from one layer to another? | Dec 07 14:23 |
| mizmo | SSlater, you simply click on the layer you want to apply the selection to in the layers palette | Dec 07 14:23 |
| mizmo | SSlater, so step by step: | Dec 07 14:23 |
| mizmo | 1) click on the layer you want to make a selection from. | Dec 07 14:23 |
| mizmo | 2) pick up the magic wand tool, and select the areas you want (if you hold down the shift key while you click the magic wand tool, it'll add selection areas together to be one big selection area) | Dec 07 14:23 |
| SSlater | yes | Dec 07 14:23 |
| SSlater | right | Dec 07 14:24 |
| mizmo | 3) when you are happy with your selection area, click on a different layer, the layer you want to apply the selection to | Dec 07 14:24 |
| mizmo | SSlater, did that work for ya? | Dec 07 14:24 |
| mizmo | have i lost anybody? | Dec 07 14:24 |
| SSlater | I see now, thanks. | Dec 07 14:24 |
| mizmo | does anyone have any questions? | Dec 07 14:25 |
| mizmo | what we're going to do next is turn this girl into a zebra | Dec 07 14:26 |
| mizmo | it's going to be awesome | Dec 07 14:26 |
| mizmo | first I want you to download this CC-BY image of a zebra that I found | Dec 07 14:27 |
| mizmo | http://flickr.com/photos/lipkee/2904603582/ | Dec 07 14:27 |
| mizmo | get the largest size available | Dec 07 14:27 |
| mizmo | oh actually | Dec 07 14:27 |
| mizmo | that one is small let me find the bigge rone | Dec 07 14:27 |
| mizmo | here we go, this one is better: | Dec 07 14:27 |
| mizmo | http://flickr.com/photos/tiswango/459316087/sizes/o/ | Dec 07 14:27 |
| *inode0 goes back to the beginning to see how classes work when you miss the first hour of them :( | Dec 07 14:28 | |
| mizmo | hehe | Dec 07 14:28 |
| mizmo | inode0, well if you want | Dec 07 14:28 |
| mizmo | im about to start the next trick | Dec 07 14:28 |
| mizmo | if you want to start from there | Dec 07 14:28 |
| mizmo | and you could go back later to do the other ones | Dec 07 14:28 |
| mizmo | you'll need to download this: http://flickr.com/photos/tiswango/459316087/sizes/o/ | Dec 07 14:28 |
| mizmo | and this: http://flickr.com/photos/gaetanlee/2482895280/sizes/o/ | Dec 07 14:29 |
| mizmo | inode0, we started late, at 8:45 my time | Dec 07 14:29 |
| mizmo | okay so you can delete or hide your current working layer now | Dec 07 14:29 |
| LukasT | 14:45 my time :) | Dec 07 14:29 |
| mizmo | make another copy of your original photo of the girl | Dec 07 14:30 |
| inode0 | I was here early but got called away and just got back, will try to pick up now | Dec 07 14:30 |
| mizmo | and hide your backup copy by clicking on the eyeball to the left of it in the layers palette | Dec 07 14:30 |
| mizmo | right click your new working layer, and again add a layer mask (again selecting white / full opacity) | Dec 07 14:31 |
| mizmo | so here is what we are going to do, we are going to make a mask that contains only the girl's face and neck - basically the areas of skin that we want to apply the zebra texture to | Dec 07 14:31 |
| mizmo | note that while the original source image is showing, you're in layer mask edit mode | Dec 07 14:32 |
| mizmo | so if you make magic wand selections and fill them, it will apply to the layer mask | Dec 07 14:32 |
| mizmo | there are a few techniques for selecting large areas in a photo | Dec 07 14:32 |
| mizmo | we're just going to do the simplest - outline the areas you want carefully with the paintbrush, painting them black inside the layer mask, | Dec 07 14:33 |
| mizmo | then filling the middle with black | Dec 07 14:33 |
| mizmo | okay so here's what i've got now: | Dec 07 14:36 |
| mizmo | http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss6.png | Dec 07 14:36 |
| mizmo | i'm about ready to fill in my outline with black | Dec 07 14:36 |
| mizmo | in the layer mask | Dec 07 14:36 |
| LukasT | mizmo: do you use mouse or tablet? | Dec 07 14:36 |
| mizmo | LukasT, i've got a tablet laptop :) | Dec 07 14:36 |
| mizmo | any other questions? | Dec 07 14:37 |
| Skarllot | it can be done in GIMP 2.4.7? | Dec 07 14:37 |
| mizmo | Skarllot, absolutely :) | Dec 07 14:37 |
| mizmo | okay i'm gong to move forward in the interest of time | Dec 07 14:38 |
| mizmo | i hope i've still got folks with me :) | Dec 07 14:38 |
| mizmo | so, we've got a black mask over the girls face , | Dec 07 14:38 |
| SSlater | done | Dec 07 14:38 |
| mizmo | i goofed a bit, we want the mask to be white in the mask layer | Dec 07 14:38 |
| mizmo | but this is okay, it's a simple step | Dec 07 14:38 |
| mizmo | we just invert the mask | Dec 07 14:38 |
| Roobarb-Home | hmm, I'm gonna have to go back through this on my main workstation - these big files are killing my poor laptop | Dec 07 14:39 |
| mizmo | we do this by going to colors > invert | Dec 07 14:39 |
| mizmo | Roobarb-Home, sorry :( :( | Dec 07 14:39 |
| Roobarb-Home | 'tis ok | Dec 07 14:39 |
| mizmo | Roobarb-Home, i'll note that for next time. i'll pick smaller files next time. | Dec 07 14:39 |
| mizmo | so here's what i had after i filled in: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss6.png | Dec 07 14:39 |
| Roobarb-Home | they're uncompressing to ~150MB | Dec 07 14:39 |
| mizmo | here's what i have after inverting: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss8.png | Dec 07 14:40 |
| mizmo | now you'll note there are some areas we do not want to put zebra on | Dec 07 14:40 |
| mizmo | her sunglasses and her mouth | Dec 07 14:40 |
| mizmo | :) | Dec 07 14:40 |
| mizmo | which we already created a mask for | Dec 07 14:40 |
| mizmo | so this should be easy, | Dec 07 14:40 |
| mizmo | we want to mask out her eyeglasses and her mouth using white | Dec 07 14:40 |
| mizmo | so that the zebra won't apply to them | Dec 07 14:41 |
| mizmo | so im going to go ahead and do that real quick | Dec 07 14:41 |
| -->gabrielo (n=gabrielo@CableLink184-143.telefonia.InterCable.net) has joined #fedora-classroom | Dec 07 14:41 | |
| mizmo | oh except now im inverted | Dec 07 14:41 |
| mizmo | so im going to mask them wqith black (sorry) | Dec 07 14:41 |
| mizmo | so here's what i've got now: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss9.png | Dec 07 14:44 |
| -->Mene-Mene (n=chatzill@pool-71-127-124-71.aubnin.fios.verizon.net) has joined #fedora-classroom | Dec 07 14:44 | |
| mizmo | next i'm going to pull in that zebra image i downloaded. I'll do this by going to file > open as layer | Dec 07 14:44 |
| mizmo | and im finding the resolution of the girl is a bit too high in comparison to the zebra | Dec 07 14:45 |
| mizmo | she's at a pretty huge resolution | Dec 07 14:45 |
| mizmo | so i'm going to size my image down 50% | Dec 07 14:45 |
| mizmo | image > scale image, select percent dropdown, type 50 in | Dec 07 14:45 |
| mizmo | and then i'm going to 'open as layers...' the zebra one more time, and it should fit over her better this time | Dec 07 14:45 |
| mizmo | im going to make the zebra layer 50% so i can work out how to position it | Dec 07 14:46 |
| mizmo | here's what that looks like: | Dec 07 14:46 |
| mizmo | http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss10.png | Dec 07 14:46 |
| mizmo | im going to use the layer rotate tool to get the zebra fitting my mask area | Dec 07 14:47 |
| mizmo | here's the fit i ended up with: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss11.png | Dec 07 14:48 |
| mizmo | now im going to make the zebra layer 100% again | Dec 07 14:48 |
| mizmo | im going to hide it by clicking on the eye icon to the left of it in the layers palette | Dec 07 14:49 |
| mizmo | and im going to go in to my working layer with the girl, and copy the mask from her and add it to the zebra :) | Dec 07 14:49 |
| mizmo | so im going to select my old working layer of the girl + face mask | Dec 07 14:49 |
| <--openpercept has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)) | Dec 07 14:49 | |
| mizmo | im going to right click it and select 'show layer mask' | Dec 07 14:49 |
| mizmo | i'm going to hit ctrl+a to select all, and ctrl+c to copy | Dec 07 14:49 |
| mizmo | then i'm going to select the zebra layer, right click it, add layer mask, full opacity/white | Dec 07 14:50 |
| mizmo | and im going to click ctrl+v to paste the layer mask into the zebra | Dec 07 14:50 |
| mizmo | i'll click the eye to make the zebra layer visible again | Dec 07 14:50 |
| mizmo | and i should see zebra skin in the shape of the girl's face! | Dec 07 14:51 |
| mizmo | http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss12.png | Dec 07 14:51 |
| mizmo | so now, i will show my backup copy layer of the girl by clicking the eye icon next to it in the layers palette | Dec 07 14:51 |
| mizmo | and ill get tihs: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss13.png | Dec 07 14:52 |
| mizmo | not exactly awesome right? :) | Dec 07 14:52 |
| mizmo | well we're not finished | Dec 07 14:52 |
| mizmo | select the zebra layer | Dec 07 14:52 |
| mizmo | and in the mode dropdown in the layers palette | Dec 07 14:52 |
| mizmo | select burn | Dec 07 14:53 |
| mizmo | and make the opacity about 60% | Dec 07 14:53 |
| mizmo | duplicate the zebra layer | Dec 07 14:53 |
| mizmo | in the mode dropdown for the second zebra layer, select 'saturation' | Dec 07 14:54 |
| mizmo | do that about 80% | Dec 07 14:54 |
| mizmo | http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/gimp/ss14.png | Dec 07 14:54 |
| mizmo | that's a bit more realistic / awesome-looking :) | Dec 07 14:54 |
| mizmo | you can see some sloppiness in my masks along her neckline, and in her teeth | Dec 07 14:55 |
| zcat | funky | Dec 07 14:55 |
| mizmo | but i did a quick sloppy job :) i can always easily correct these mistakes by painting either white or black in the mask | Dec 07 14:55 |
| mizmo | no need to go back and un-do or re-do anything | Dec 07 14:55 |
| mizmo | so that's about what i've got | Dec 07 14:56 |
| mizmo | sorry i ran over a bit | Dec 07 14:56 |
| mizmo | does anyone have any questions? | Dec 07 14:56 |
| SSlater | I have a floating selection (Pasted layer) and cannot select the zebra layer. | Dec 07 14:56 |
| LukasT | thank you mizmo, I learn to use masks :) | Dec 07 14:56 |
| mizmo | SSlater, when you have a floating selection, it will go to the layer that's directly below it | Dec 07 14:56 |
| SSlater | okay. | Dec 07 14:57 |
| mizmo | SSlater, you click the anchor icon to make it go to that layer | Dec 07 14:57 |
| SSlater | that's better, thanks. | Dec 07 14:57 |
| mizmo | SSlater, if you're not happy with the layer it's under, and want to pick a different one, you can click the trashcan to delete the floating selection, select the layer you want, then hit ctrl+v to try again | Dec 07 14:57 |
| SSlater | right. | Dec 07 14:58 |
| mizmo | you can also use this technique | Dec 07 14:58 |
| mizmo | with a photo of cracked dirt | Dec 07 14:59 |
| mizmo | to make the person look like a zombie | Dec 07 14:59 |
| mizmo | (see the upper right example here: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/barbara.png) | Dec 07 14:59 |
| mizmo | also, i did this recently at a demo i gave | Dec 07 14:59 |
| <--abby87 has quit (Remote closed the connection) | Dec 07 14:59 | |
| mizmo | you can make the person look like they are made out of ice using an ice layer | Dec 07 14:59 |
| mizmo | instead of zebra | Dec 07 14:59 |
| mizmo | so you can take this technique and really run with it | Dec 07 14:59 |
| mizmo | any more questions? | Dec 07 15:00 |
