Nice tutorial. Thank you.

Get yourself a mic. It's not very ehlpful if you can't tell us what you're doing.

For me the shadow does not transform itself after the bending. Any ideas why?

[nicubunu]

@Aurimaitis: yeah, you will have to apply the shadow after the bending or also bend the layer with the shadow

[Aurimaitis]

@nicubunu Thanks, but If I apply the shadow after the bending the shadow isn't dopping on a plane surface (instead it adds 2mm of shadow to the edge of the image)... in the tutorial shadow creates illusion that the picture is above plane surface. Do you know how to accomplish that?

[nicubunu]

@Aurimaitis: the video was made a couple of years ago so I had to re-watch it to remember... the truth is, the shadow is not bended at all, is a rectangle, but the paper is not deformed much, so it not that visible. I only moved the paper a couple of pixels, to make the shadow look better.

[Aurimaitis]

@nicubunu I got it;) Thanks. And for the anti-aliasing problem with usual Bending that you mentioned in written tutorial I used a bigger picture, then if you resize it, it's goes fine.

i somehow got it even with no audio.. thanks anyway ^^

This is a real nice tutorial. I was trying that effect with one of my photos but for some reason the shadow won't show.... Does this tutorial have sound, too? I think that would help all those getting stuck....

thank you!!!!

[sirshungo]

no audio??? why?

[fivepointsix]

this video is pointless. it's just a little less intolerable with no sound. go out and take a polaroid! it just shows you the kind of idiots that make fake polaroids if this video has 3 and a half stars and you can't even hear it. ha ha ha.

[mimessuckballs]

waaaaayyyyyyy too confusing.

[aavillanueva]

This would be helpful if you could explain what you are doing step by step. Thanks anyway....

[freestylelover]

sorry but would be alot more better if u can talk n guide us cuz like this i'm stuck right now wid the number u put on the canvas size

Great tutorial. I would love to add animation to add more photos dropping on top. But I'm a nooB. Not happening today! :)

bateman2006: just saw tutorial on fading skull--they duplicated completed picture several times and and used the fade out option gradually. It would probably be easy to do. Look up gimp fading skull in eye.

Thanks again nicubunu. I am going to try for intro on my FIRST youtube video "justfriendz" look for in a day or two. Peace.

[bateman2006]

ok cool stuff! Now, make it so it acts like a polaroid picture that was just taken, where things gradually appear.

[nicubunu]

Not sure how it should look, I don't have experience with *real* polaroids... probably it can be done by adjusting the color curves, maybe transparency of the photo layer.
