Took me ages to work this out so I hope it comes in handy for you. Great tutorial.See also: All About GIMP – A Simple User Guide.
It can be overwhelming at first, but once you get the hang of it, the learning curve is well worth it! Leah Lefler (author) from Western New York on January 19, 2011: I agree and well-written tutorials like yours make the learning curve a whole lot more manageable. I also want to put in tutorials for sepia-tone, frames, logos, etc. It took me a while to figure out the software, but if I can do it, anyone can! I need to go back over my digital scrapbooking one to reformat it: the steps are written out with too many instructions and not enough screenshots. Leah Lefler (author) from Western New York on January 20, 2011: It seems more 'appropriate' somehow since he passed away a year or so ago and it gave the photo such a beautiful 'feel'. I always like to look back on him in the black and white photo and remember him. Thank you so much for writing this! I have accomplished the same effects through another method, but it is much more difficult!Īudrey Kirchner from Washington on January 23, 2011:Īwesome pics, Leah - I love doing black and white and have such a cool one of one of my favorite dogs. Ivorwen from Hither and Yonder on January 23, 2011: I love the look of black and white (and sepia tone), too. We are planning on getting a dog this year, and that is the part I absolutely dread. Oh, akirchner- I'm so sorry your dog is gone. Leah Lefler (author) from Western New York on January 23, 2011:
#MAKING PICTURE SHAPES GIMP HOW TO#
Then, I found a How To book.but who has the time for that when we are busy reading and writing hubs? This is a great hub and I plan to return! I heard GIMP went through some changes, so I downloaded it (after the purchase of a new laptop) again with the idea to get back into making graphics and such. I quickly became frustrated and went on to use Photoshop. Thank you so much for this! The first time I downloaded GIMP was in 2005. Thanks! I have several GIMP hubs: some are easier than others, but once you get the hang of the layers window, it gets easier (almost all the effects are applied to a new layer of the photo). Leah Lefler (author) from Western New York on January 26, 2011: Helpful as always, I love Gimp and still use it almost daily :) WP I had read this one the other day but because I saw it in the Hubpages weekly sent to my email, I decided to come back and visit again. WoodsmensPost from Arizona on January 26, 2011:Īnother great hub using Gimp. Kookoo88 from Cripple Creek on January 26, 2011:
Thank you so much for sharing in detail how to use GIMP. Neabug32 from United States on January 26, 2011: I usually wouldn't bother to try such complicated effects, but after reading your article I think I may give it a go.Wish me luck! These are very detailed yet seemingly simple instructions. There are a lot of neat photo effects that can be done with GIMP! I'm a big fan of The GIMP, too (obviously)! LoosingIt: give it a try! Once you get used to using the layers window, it will become second nature. After I learned this technique, the others were a piece of cake! When I was learning the program, I focused on learning to do one effect (it took me a while to figure out the layers tool to do this effect). I think the learning curve scares a lot of people off. There are so many cool effects: I mainly use it to edit photos of my children, but it is as powerful as photoshop (and much, much cheaper). Leah Lefler (author) from Western New York on January 27, 2011: Also for anyone struggling with the GIMP there is a version - Gimpshop - that mimicks the user experience of photoshop and can be a lot easier for those used PS. Great tut, I would just add it's an effect that needs to be used in moderation. It is a great supplement to scrapbooking (and other uses), though. It definitely needs to be used with moderation: when every single photo is doctored in this way, it becomes a bit "too much." The user needs to pick a photo suitable for this effect, too: there needs to be a bright object as the center of attention. Leah Lefler (author) from Western New York on January 28, 2011: I'll be looking over your other GIMP hubs for new ideas.
