GIMP is really awesome and I'm messing with it for some days now and learning everything I possibly can. Hopefully I will post some real neat professional works (ofc with my watermark) here as I go along. Please share your GIMPart in this thread.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

Looks cool! Hopefully this should inspire people to use Gimp than using pirated Photoshop. Why not start off by posting some tuts? One of it should be: "How to remove the watermarks using GIMP".

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

Whoa! what images! Cool dude. Keep it up.

@drgrudge,

nice idea. This is another way to promote Open Source Software.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

I hope you give link to a decent GIMP tutorial. I got screwed by GIMP to an extent that I swore never to use it again.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

Nice work .. Do post a beginner tut

_ Can yu tell me how to make image sides curved using Gimp and how to make a image with withe turn to transparent bsae like in png pics?

FUNNY RUBBER PIPES: (..for the lack of a better name

..)

I was playing around in GIMP 2.4 yesterday and I found something funny. Try it yourself.

1) Create a new file with your desired size ( i did 420x300) and fill it with Black.

2) Select the pen tool *i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/path.pngand create some curves as you feel like. (..for the following effect, I used 2 different sized brushes of colors green and white. First using the pen tool, mark a curve, then select the larger brush(green) and go to Edit > Stroke Path > Stroke with a paint tool and hit Stroke. Then Gaussian blurred the same with a value of 8. Finally select the smaller brush(white) and repeat the same except the blur.)

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/curves.png

3) Create a new layer filled with Black on top of the current layer and put it in Dodge mode. Then select the Gradient tool *i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/grad.png with type as FG to Transparent and shape Radial. Draw it in the fashion so it appears in alternating depths as in the fig,.(.ie., draw in steps and leave small gaps in between.)**

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/worm.png

4) Then go to Colors > Curves and draw a desired curve until you get the pipe effect

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/Screenshot-Curves.png

5) Finally go to Colors > Levels and squeeze the black and white values together until you get the final effect.

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/Screenshot-Levels.png

FINAL RESULT

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/funny_pipes.png

Play around the settings more and you can get some very cool effects. I think we can design those DNA effects using the same technique.

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/alternate.png

(..**All the tweaking is done on the Dodge layer..)

I think u hv started using Linux ? Why don't you experiment with GIMP ? GIMP is bundled with most popular Distros like Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.

H

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

Sorry, I'm definitely under-qualified to do a tut on GIMP basics. GIMP is as vast as Photoshop if not more. But I do intend to add in more tricks here as I go along and expect other GIMP lovers to do the same.

However, there are alternatives around,

1) Get into your package manager and install grokking-the-gimp. Create a launcher for its index.html which is in /usr/share/doc/grokking-the-gimp on your desktop.

2) Learn from online sites like www.gimp-tutorials.net and www.gimp-tutorials.com etc (..google for more..)

I'm doing the same too.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

Ok, open the image, do a Select all (Ctrl+A), go to Select menu > Rounded Rectangle and give a radius of say 10. Then do an Inverse (Ctrl+I) and hit Delete. Finally Deselect it (Ctrl+Shift+A) and you will have your rounded edge image.

Note that image is still square, its border pixels is shaded off from the rest of the image and on a white background web page, it appears rounded. Put on a dark background and you will see it as a square image.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

Thanks it worked ! Any way to make it look round in dark background

Also how to provide shadow to the image and how to give refection at the base ? Like Mirror Images ?

H

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

For a dark background, do the same until Delete. Before deselecting, go to Edit > Fill with FG/BG color depending on the color value in the palette. Make the color same as the dark background.

For reflection, duplicate the image, flip it, scale if necessary, reduce the opacity, apply some blur and if desired add some water effect like ripple etc.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

REFLECTION & SHADOW:

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/reflection_shadow.png *i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/Screenshot-BrushesPatternsGradients.png

It's a very straight forward manual effect. I have made 2 copies of the same text on 2 separate layers as above.

For Reflection, duplicate the text layer using the 4th icon from the bottom left in the channel box, move it using Move tool(M) to where you want it, modify it by applying some Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur, flip it horizontally by using Tools > Transform Tools > Flip (Shift+F) and click while holding Ctrl.

For Shadow, do the same except Flip while reducing the Opacity using the channel box. You may change to a desired color in both the effects as needed. Also try some nice intermediate effects between layers like ripple or clouds(all available in Filters).

GIMP however lacks direct layer effects(as in PS) like drop shadow, bevel, emboss etc but this can be installed using FX-Foundry script package from Gimp-tutorials.net. To install, unzip the downloaded files(.scm) into your /home/user/.gimp-2.4/scripts/ directory and restart GIMP.

Its the same except they have added an inbetween gradient of white to transparent. Observe the layers below, behind is white and top is gradient, the inbetweens are the image and its flip and an additional shadow layer for the image.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

WATERDROPS: (Dodge Method) .......................[Also see Gradient Method using Photoshop]
[..I prefer Dodge because I can have more control on color and shape..]

It's a wonderful effect and following is one of the methods to do it.

1) Start off with creating a new image, filling some color on the background, creating a new transparent layer on top of this layer.

2) Then select a circle brush with black as foreground color and mark the drops on this transparent layer.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/1.png

3) Go to Fx-Foundry > Layer Effects and apply both the layer effects.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/2.png

4) My values are as follows
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/3.png *i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/4.png

5) Hide the transparent layer or completely delete it if you're satisfied with the effect.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/5.png

6) The layers are in masked mode yet, so complete it by Applying Mask. (..Also both the layers should be in multiply mode with a half opacity factor..)
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/6.png

7) Select the background layer, put the foreground color as white and choose a fuzzy brush.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/7.png

8.) Using the Dodge tool, put the Exposure to a mild value in the settings and stroke on the drops to get a mild gradient.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/8.png

9) Finally, all the drops are uniform in shape which is not realistic, so use the wonderful IWarp effect available in Filters > Distorts. Put some values and start stroking the drops.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/9.png

There its DONE

I'm not sure that I follow you. Are you asking how to get a shadow like this here?

*www.taimila.com/files/orange_wall_thumb.jpg Its pretty simple as I have said before, give a drop shadow and gaussian blur it. If you mean how to create this from a portion of an image, just use the rectangle selection tool, copy it to a new layer and apply the effect including the rounded border thing.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

Hey that drop shadow is darn easy . .Navigate to Filters -> Lights and Shadow -> Drop Shadow

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

PHOTO POPOUT:

A simple but cool effect where pixels appear to popout of the image.

1) Start off by selecting the area of the image which will popout, in this case, the car. How you select depends on your selecting method, freehand, scissors or something else. I tend to use a mixture of these along with the eraser to soften out edges. Once the selection is done, do a Ctrl+C (copy) and Ctrl+V (paste) upon which a floating layer appears on top of the current one. Just click the new layer button and it will become a proper layer.

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/1-1.png

2) Now create a new layer on top and fill it with white. Then select the vertical ruler and mark at the place where you want the popout to appear. Also reduce the opacity of the white layer so that the bottom layer is visible.

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/2-1.png

3) While still on the white layer, do a select all (Ctrl+A) and use the perspective tool to get the desired shape of the layer. Finish off by clicking on Transform.

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/3-1.png

4) Another floating layer and again click create new layer and name it something like 'photo'. At this point, the white layer can be deleted.

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/4-1.png

5) If anything is selected on the image, deselect it by using Ctrl+Shift+A or from select menu. Using the magic wand(fuzzy) tool, click on the white color of the photo layer and apply a shrink of around 15 pixels from the select menu.

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/5-1.png

6) Hit delete on this selection and apply a gaussian blur of 2 rads to this 'photo' layer.

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/6-1.png

7) Using magic wand again with the add to selection turned on, select the outside regions of the 'photo' layer.i.e, the two triangle shapes, click on one and then click on the other.

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/7-1.png

8.) Now make the background layer active and fill black on those selections. Similarly do the same on the large central area by selecting it with rectangular selection tool and fill this with black too.

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/8-1.png

9) FINALLY, put the car layer on top of the photo layer and you have the effect. Save it and use it.

Hehe don't put it as wallpaper, not yet! I'm working on a high-res version minus the errors. There are some rough edges in this image.

As for where I learned it, nowhere

. I knew I had to do something as soon as I laid my eyes on the Mosaic filter, just kept tweaking and working on the image for 5 hours until getting a somewhat respectable result.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

Text Effect 1: LIGHT RAYS

One of my favourite text effects.

1) Start of by doing some white text on a black background. Then make a copy of the white text layer(for later use) and merge the other text with the background.

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/1-2.png

2) Now go Filter > Distorts > Polar Coordinates and apply it. Be sure to deselect the To polar option.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/2-2.png

3) Then rotate it by 90 degrees clockwise with Shift+R.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/3-2.png

4) Apply Filter > Distorts > Wind from the Right. Repeat if necessary.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/4-2.png

5) Again hit Shift+R and do counter-clockwise with -90 degrees.

6) Now again do Polar Coordinates but this time select To polar. Also playing with the circle depth gives different effects. Experiment.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/5-2.png

7) The RESULT so far.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/6-2.png

8.) Then apply Filter > Blur > Motion Blur in Zoom mode. Repeat if necessary.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/7-2.png

9) Time for applying color, use Colors > Color Balance
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/8-2.png *i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/9-1.png
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/10-1.png *i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/11.png

10) Now select the white text copy layer and do Alpha to Selection either by right click or from Layer menu.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/12.png

11) While leaving the selection intact, create a new transparent layer and do a foreground fill with Black from Edit menu.

12) Again with the selection intact, Grow it by 1~2 px from the Selection menu, do a new transparent layer again and do a background fill with White.

13) If required, position these layers according to the effect using the Move tool and also stack them in the Layers palette.

14) Finally, Play with it all you want. I duplicated the rays layer, flipped it, reduced its opacity and put it on Screen mode. That's it. The Final RESULT

*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/ray_of_light.png

15) Use it on something like this.

Select the gradient tool and draw a line in the direction you want the gradience to go on the image.

All the borders are round but since only the upper one has a color shade it appears so. To get colored shades again use gradient together with blur settings.

Create a mask on that "shadow" and then use the gradient tool on it. The mode to be used is FG to Transparent.

It's very simple,

1. Select the image or a part of it.
2. Go to Select > Border and give some value of 4 or so.
3. Then do Edit > Fill with Black as the colour.
4. Deselect and apply a drop shadow using filters.
5. Apply a nice gaussian blur of 20 or more to the shadow layer.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

No worries, keep'em coming, I'll be more than glad to share what I know

It's not essentially a shadow but a feel of shadow (a trick). What you do is, create a new transparent layer on top of the image, make a circular section using the cirle selection tool, fill it with black(in this case) and apply some decent blur. Then blend both the layers and merge them if you want.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

CIGARETTE-AD

One of the many methods.

1) Start off with creating a new transparent layer, making a rectangular selection and fill it with white. Then do the same except make the selection at the filter of the cigarette and fill it with a suitable color. I used #F7AB5F
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/1-3.png

2) Then put the cigarette layer on top and set it to multiply mode. Then apply a bi-linear gradient on this layer with offset at some 50 and grey and white as colors.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/2-3.png

3) Now create a new transparent layer again and this time do a selection at the point where the filter meets the cigarette and fill it with a brown or golden color. (.. you might also try gradient..)
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/3-3.png

4) Merge all the layers by right-click > Merge Visible Layers. Now again right-click > Alpha to Selection, do a inverse (Ctrl+I) and hit delete. You will get like this.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/4-3.png

5) Then go to Filters > Noise > RGB Noise, deselect Independent RGB and enter a value of 0.05~0.10 in R,G & B. (..you may also paint with a light brush on the filter with a light color so it appears more polished..)
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/5-3.png

6) Then create a new transparent layer, make a selection at the end of the cigarette, fill it with a suitable colour and again do the RGB noise filter except give a higher value of around 0.30~0.40 this time.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/6-3.png

7) Then do a rough selection on this and delete it so it a appears jagged.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/7-3.png

8.) Finally give a nice shadow and you have your cigarette. You can merge all layers if you wish.
*i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb178/ferrous_cranus/8-3.png

9) Do some ad like this.

Nice, keep it learning.

For the above thing, create a new transparent layer on top of your image layer using the layer palette, if no layer palette is visible, go to Dialogs > Create new dock> Layers..., then place your image layer on top of this transparent layer, right-click > merge visible layers. That should do it.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

^^ Its totally created by me .. How many times I have to say this

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

Ok vaibhavtek, here is your tutorial..

1. First of all, You need to have Transparent background layer. To create a transparent layer, in the new layer dialog box select Layer fill type as "Transparent". Keep this layer to the bottom of your layer pallet. If you have white background layer, delete it.

*i173.photobucket.com/albums/w55/amitava82/roundedcorner.jpg

2. Next, you need to save the image as PNG in order to maintain transparency. If you save as jpeg you will loose transparent colors. So Click File > Save as.. From the file type menu, select PNG

*i173.photobucket.com/albums/w55/amitava82/savedialoge.jpg

3. Click Save. A dialog box will popup. Click Export.

4. In the next dialog box uncheck "Save background color"

I mean to say:-

I want to make this picture *www.imgx.org/files/12600_ebozc/Gohan.jpg like this *www.imgx.org/files/12601_wblk3/Gohan%202.png

Press Ctrl + A and see my next picture has a pointed edge.

This Forum background clolour matches with the rounded white backgrounded colour so u are not able to see the white portion but if i embed the same image in black background then I will see the white rounded part.

I want to make that white ended part as transparent so that it matches with any background.

When we use Gigasmilies it smilies get match with any coloured background(u will not see the part of the image not coloured) ,in the same way i want to make this image.

Take example of my avatar; select it using ur mouse u will see the unclolured area but when i use it, it matches with the background..

Hope after reading ^^ u r clear.

Hope now it is clear to u..

Plz help.

btw why r u using the old version of GIMP...

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

^^ Before deselecting after pressing delete Edit > Fill with FG/BG color Make the color same as the dark background.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

doesnot help.

Hitboxx said:
Ok, open the image, do a Select all (Ctrl+A), go to Select menu > Rounded Rectangle and give a radius of say 10. Then do an Inverse (Ctrl+I) and hit Delete. Finally Deselect it (Ctrl+Shift+A) and you will have your rounded edge image.

Note that image is still square, its border pixels is shaded off from the rest of the image and on a white background web page, it appears rounded. Put on a dark background and you will see it as a square image.

see the thing which i made big in size. He has written "Put on a dark background and you will see it as a square image" I want to remove that it matches with any background.

Hope now all of here are damn clear.

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

First of all, Every image is rectangular. You can not have odd shaped image. Second, I posted what u exactly wanted. Try placing the last image in my post on a black or any other colored document and see that there is no square corners. That is to say, it is blended with background colour. Try to read and understand.

But u have a that rounded image inside a white rectangular which is also white.

Place it in black background and see...

I think it is not possible using GIMP.

Guys just leave thinking abt it if u donot know.

It is not urgent for me to learn that.

I will soon make some more art here.

Nice effort, but don't start off with many colours and variations if you ask me. Pick some 3-4 favourite colours and try playing the same range. Also don't depend on the filters too much initially, learn the tools. the "Levels" is one of the best tool to tweak any image.

1) When you start a new image, delete that Backgorund layer.....
2) Now create 2 layers and start working on the topmost layer......
3) Those Chess-like pattern means that your Image is transparent.
4) To attain transparency in the image, you'll have to save the file into PNG.

Very nice .. Please tell me about the effects in 3d and the shadow. .A short guide will do it

I did give the Gaussian Blur in the white Background but nothing happened

? Well I know how to make 3d text

Re: !!.:GIMP~art:.!!

Well, That was done in Photoshop. Hittbox will come up with Gimp tutorial on whatever I post here. But the idea here is that: Type some text, then Transform the text. Apply Perspective Transformation. Then duplicate the text layer. Move the duplicate layer a little but up to give 3d look. Now apply drop shadow, gradient overlay, inner shadow to the bottom text layer. Apply emboss, some lighting effect and scaled texture to top layer. There is a 'layer style' script and 'Filter' plugin for Gimp. Download them from gimp website.

Very nice

, a word of advice though, don't put your works/creations on some random site like imgx, get a proper account from something like photobucket and let them all be together.

^^ I have my account in Imgx.org ..

So I have all my collection intact in one place

Will create a acc. on photo bucket right away.. Thanks

Please tell me how to create this pattern in Gimp ?

*www.imgx.org/pfiles/6535/4.jpg

Well found that by myself.. Filters -> Artistic -> Soft glow, is providing the smoky effect I was asking for

No need for that Gradient now.. Well That was in PS.. Know as chrome effect .. Filter > Sketch > Chrome :-*

F*** ... Reporting

Lol that was some art indeed :lol:

Re: Gimp Arts

The Thread !!.:GIMP~art:.!! (Bandwidth Warning) is too old Last Post : 20-04-2008, 12:33 AM .

So we should not bump out out that thread and start the discussion in this thread.

Plz repost all your arts in a single post in this thread.
And start making some of the cool Arts again.

Re: Gimp Arts

How you gave that effect . I've been using Gimp for day to day work. Didn't tried anything new yet. Will try to make few grungy effect soon

Till now re-post all your arts again to make them fresh.

Re: Gimp Arts

Re: Gimp Arts

It would be quite easier if you merged both threads together. Now you have to actually search for two threads if you want to look up Gimp tutorials.

Re: Gimp Arts

Please continue there, doesn't matter if its old and though only by a few months. All tuts let be in one mega thread!
