GIMP Tutorial - Lightning II

[DANMAN51398OMEG]

I'd like to know why the guy cant just change his language settings to english since he doesn't know and can obviously speak it pretty well

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

That's for the sole purpose to piss off yankees...

Yeah, fear zee Germanz

[Conan124]

@DANMAN51398OMEG Cos its his native language maybe?

How do you "subtract" from a selection with the rectangle tool?

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

By pressing Strg/Ctrl while marking your selection.

[fox12021]

hey just wondering where you got the script for the 2nd lighting from??

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

I guess you are talking about the Selection Distress. It used to be a part of Script-fu. However, in the later versions, you can find it in the menu "Selection". Look for "Distress". Good Luck!

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

Tak for din komentar, Dingoman2000. :)

Thank you for this elaborate answer. I am aware that the tutorial is not suited for beginners. I think I also warned the audience about this in the video at some point. If you have any questions, ask, please. I will be glad to help you.

[UmairsUTyoob]

when i use the rotate tool, a dot does not appear when i click. the whole mage statrts to roatate. Any suggestions.

[luvblue21]

I like Enselic's better

[cedavis888]

what the hell is "Skript-Fu"? My version doesn't have any menu next to the "Filter" menu

[hornylink]

you fail

[ImYourTurkey]

lol best reply ever

[hornylink]

in my defense, he does fail.

[ImYourTurkey]

i know.... i was being serious .. lol

[hornylink]

serious? on the internet? BLASPHEMY!!

[ImYourTurkey]

WOoD you prefer sarcasm or a hotdog?

[6Hellbilly6Deluxe6]

its called an 'Air Brush' in english... that thing you didn't know the english for.

[AkosBK]

u had a question: what the difference between flash, lightning and thunder

Flash only the light, lightning is lot of these "forms" jumps down on the ground, the thunder is the sound of the lightning :D

[5frameskevin]

actually lightning occurs mostly between storm clouds, but when it does strike, the -particles in the ground travel up to balance with the + particles in the cloud so lightning does strike up, not down. it is a common mistake people make.

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

It might be called filter pakket in Dutch.

Also it can be found in Colors--)Filter pack in the newer versions. Hope it helps

Greetings from Berlin

PS: If you have problems writing Englisch, you may try writing Dutch, for I can understand it quite good (yet cannot speak it very well).

[excogitation]

Why don't you just install the english version of GIMP?

Dann hast du mit den Übersetzungen der Optionen keine Probleme mehr :-)

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

Wo bleibt da die Herausforderung? :P

[Aznballer2000]

awesome! thanks!

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

Nedankinde (no problem) :-)

[maeparker04]

Who needs to create lightning...when you can download ligtning brushes online.

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

Who needs to be creative...one can easily google the image needed :P

[bgnavtrak]

I think yours and Enselics videos are great, I like the lightning style of his, the background of your first lightning, and the lightning size of your second lightning. I know English is your second language but you speak it alot better then people whose English is their only language. Keep up the great work!!

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

Thanks for this great encouragement. I have to write an English exam tomorrow and now I need some optimism ^^

[kreza1]

in english its air brush my freind

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

Well, thanks for the info. But others already have been faster telling mi this ;-P

[kamba008]

his was better im sorry urs was ok but i like his better

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

No Problem to me. I don‛t want to compete with but rather add to Enselic‛s tutorials.

[monsterborn12]

lol jimp no offence

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

Non taken.

I only hope the tutorial was useful to you.

[Axoth]

could u of used an english version of gimp i got confused when i got up to the part where u chose what hue u want. Can u plzz make another video with an english version of gimp.

It will be much unappreciated if u do =)

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

Sorry to dissapoint you: I am seriously lacking time right now and the next tutorial I planned will be in my native language.

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

For better understanding:

The tool „Sprühpistole" is the airbrush tool.

The filter I used then is the filter-packet.

After this I used the cloud-filter for the second layer. The layer mode is "dodge". English ain't "EZ" ;-P

[Keaterpeter]

very nice job. you speak english very well.. and the tool "spruhpistole" is called "Airbrush" in english. and... is there anyway to do the second one without using "skript-fu?"

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

You could certainly draw the distressed lines manually. But it is definitly easier with the Skript-FU ;-)

[Keaterpeter]

i found a way. go to Select.. then go to distort. its the same thing thanks tho

[yzuskin3]

I liked it, but Eneselic's tutorial was easier in my opinion. Also what kind of GIMP (version) did you use? Cuz in 2.3 & 2.4, we don't have Skript-Fu, we got filters...

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

I uzed 2.2.13. I heard of the newer versions a while ago, but was told, that it wouldn't be worth upgrading.

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

By the way: Filters and Skript-FU ain't the same

[Keaterpeter]

nice but i couldnt follow along that well because of the language. lol but still nice job

[keyboardass]

Good, but you are zoomed in the whole time and go too fast.

[canadia1sucks1eh]

o yeah and a flash is just light

a lighttning is when you can see the bold

and a thunder is the boom

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

Thanks. Now that you said it, it seems totally obvious to me. Wasn't the torch light also called flash light in American? Hell, I stayed there for like a year and still didn't figure that out. Again, thanks for telling :-)

[fishbones99]

To be more detailed, flash is when everything lights up with no distinct source, the sky goes bright for a split second. Lightning is the big jagged line of light...as you would already know. And thunder is simply the loud sound..as canadia said, "The boom"

[canadia1sucks1eh]

if u have not alreadt heard this the icn u used first and did not know what was called in enfglish is called "airbrush"

thanks fr the ttutorial! :-)

[Dklein18]

Very nice tut.

The first tool you used is the Airbrush in english. :)

[DMXell]

JYMP? Is that a language incapability or personal preference?

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

Well, let's say: My personal ignorance. I've been several times to English-speaking countries but never heard anybody say the word GIMP. Hmmm, if you are able to understand German you may wait for my upcoming tutorial. I'll promise that a GIMP and no "Jymp" will be featured there ;-)

[DMXell]

Lol, sorry, just had to point it out, couldn't think of anything else to say in the comment :-p Great video too.

[Enselic]

Hmm, how do you upload videos > 10 minutes? Seems as if I can't :(

[DMXell]

You typically need around 15 subscribers, dunno how he did.

[PEAKTOP7CEMb]

I uploaded the video. It's just that simple. I only realized afterwards that I wasn't allowed to upload that much. Better ask the yT-crew...

[Enselic]

Thanks for the reply! The second way of doing involved some really cool techniques.

If you want the GIMP to show English names of stuff, set the LANG environment to 'C' or perhaps 'en'. Google for 'lanugage gimp windows' for the details (should be the first hit).
