[PoopTruffles]

I have 3 heads with one picture to mask. How do I copy the mask thing

[MegaAcdcman]

delete the layer named 'background' by selecting it and pressing delete on the keyboard. The layer select thingy is in the box to the right side of the screen, first tab. hope this helps mate

[TopRatedProSniping]

is GIMP a sucky photoshop?

[Omatusano]

@TopRatedProSniping Ur a sucky Photoshop!!!! Jk, it's pretty good. Give her a go. It's free.

[kylethehedgehog101]

thanks:D

[MultiDreadlockrasta]

NEVER save as JPEG, it's a quality killer, PNG is where it's at...

[Tamazon19]

@MultiDreadlockrasta EXACTLY! I ALWAYS save as PNG, JPEG is bad quality, it even says that when you tell it to save as a JPEG in MS Paint, it says something like This format will degrade your picture.

[JeroxB]

@MultiDreadlockrasta Does it realy downgrade the quality that much?

[stopmotionawsomness1]

i wana see a nother one damit

[stopmotionawsomness1]

wow thanks

[thecisproduction]

[eskimoanimations]

[JakeDaLegoGuy]

cool man!

[thecormickshow]

thanks so much! I just tested it out and it works perfectly!

[JedNewton]

thanks best walkthorugh

[MikeG738]

what all my photo editing teachers have told me never ever ever use the erase tool. when you are on a layer mask when you paint in black it will remove the image. when you paint in white it brings the image back. when you invert mask the mask will be black witch means that you wont see it when you paint over in white it will bring it back. i hope this was helpful it is the proper way to use masking. this is the same with photo shop and as well as gimp.

[learnwebsitedesign]

Great tutorial all around. Please more similar tutorials.

Thanks

[PopcornMawn]

You're lucky that your camera's decent, I have to erase the rest of the background cause the focus on the image is bad.

[Litedisturbed12]

Nice. But how do you move that layer that you edited?

[gdragon521]

thank you for making this video it helps so much

[maluch525]

[Kyorere23]

thanks! it works!

[LegoMoviesEME]

Thank you it worked for me, you are good at making tutorials

[LarryStudios]

Thank you! This actually works!

[KyleJayT]

your freaking genius ty so much!!

[StormTrooper305]

Its not working. I do everything you say, but everytime I go to erase it, it goes black. And my friends tell me not to use Bafran. What shall i do?

[10juniorman]

i do that now on photo shop.

[legohullu234]

that not working on me and i have too GIMP version 2.6

[SpiceyTaco101]

try a program called bafran, its more simple

[legohullu234]

@SpiceyTaco101 wait a second... hey! now its working! thanks dude you are good guy!

[EvilBlackComet]

@SpiceyTaco101: hey you know that Layer box you have on the right the whole time? yeah i was having a stupid moment and i exited out of that box and i cant get it back T-T Help, please.

[drawinggirl101]

@EvilBlackComet I did the same thing. After you get at least two layers hold down Ctrl and press L. The box should show back up. :)

[RearingEmu]

@SpiceyTaco101 gimp is way more powerful than bafran.

I suggest learning gimp instead it pays of.

by the way nice tutorial i used it for my Lego Ninja throwing knife video

[crocss300]

yes! ive been trying to figure out how to work that thing for so long thanks a lot!

[RiceManPro]

I use paint and Bafran won't translate to english! So this really helped out...lol

[Piano409]

Thanks. This really helped me.

[dimax997]

Bafran is easier :)

[MrAwesomesauce101]

[StormTrooper305]

[kofbaron]

[clonewars999]

great tutorial thanks

[antiamerican1776]

save as .png it keeps the quality better

[drmabeuse]

Help! I'm a total graphics dummy, trying to learn what a mask is and what it does. From this vid, it looks like all you did was erase part of an image from a layer. Is that it? How does this relate to Quickmask and all that?

[CarterandCoProducts]

THANKS!!! I've always wondered how to do this!

[nicegal1]

thanks for the help!!! ur the best!!

[MushButter1]

what is that tool bar on the right called and how do i open it

[pkmovies92]

Very good tutorial !!! 5/5 !!!

[dudeboy787]

Nice tutorial that helped me alot! Make more tutorials

[FreakFaceStudios]

For me it just makes white line with the eraser, can you fix that?

[Hamburgergerbil]

on the backround it may be lighter than the image, but just take the picture again.

[lern2live]

@FreakFaceStudios Make sure It's version 2.6-different versions have different options.

[jdude6001]

keep puting tutorials on main and this has elped me alot thanx!

[SUZIHURD]

actualy gimp 2.6 is better than bafran because you can do more things with it

[skyskelton97]

i like to use pivot to make things fly

[thegodzilla22]

gonna try that ill tell ya how it works out

[brickscenes997]

Sorry but that's a really slow way to do that Bafran is alot quicker!

[legosonfire101]

bafran messes up w

[brickscenes997]

yeah, but still with Bafran you CAN work on lots of pictures at a time wich is lot faster. there you have to import, then work on it, import, then work on it, import...ect

[Mcdingy8]

thanks.u realy helped me

[darthgabriel97]

It helped me alot thank you!!!

//Darthgabriel97//

[scuddydoo]

thanks man

[BrianMastermind]

awesome, this helped me plenty

[BrianMastermind]

i downloaded it, but it always "not responds" when it gets to "font" in the startup

[BrianMastermind]

wait nevermind, i just have to wait a while

[JacketMan321]

thanks! i have gimp but i never could figure anything out on it.

[deathbinder]

hey dont apply mask b4 erasing, just select the mask, not the image, i.e. the white thing, and paint on the mask with black color to see the background.

this is non destructive.

[Generalgrievous2st]

This tutorial is actually very helpful, thank you !

[Semmgil1]

is it free but awesome vid and simple

[mrlegocollector2]

yes it is

[BrianMastermind]

is it free?

[mrlegocollector2]

yes it is

[jackabascal]

Also When saving instead of having to change the quality to 100 every time, just click save defaults after youve changed it to 100

[jackabascal]

use ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Y to redo

[DixonRants]

Do you take a picture of the flying lego person, and then remove the background via picture software, or do you download the lego picture from Google images?

[lusasmproductions]

I will start use this! :)

[Superflamingo53535]

yay! way better than bafran. haha im gonna do this now! thank u nick

[mnmtwinz]

I noticed you took a long time to erase the minifigures feet. to make a strait line you hold shift and the left clicker and make a line be careful you might erase to much. Oh yeah. This vid IS helpfull. I wish this vid was out when i had trouble with gimp.

[iPattv]

thanks

[froodo3]

How do you down;oad the program?

[mrlegocollector2]

awesome! i might get this program.......

[awesomedudeyrox]

is gimp2.6 free?

[LegoDudez]

yes.

[martx96]

Yes it is.

[andrewexplosionfilms]

[mlgsouthern]

[SuperJoshFilms]

[awesomedudeyrox]

[Legooofan]

Cool, with bafran you can do the same

[FutureFlicks]

yeah this helped I couldn't figure it out from Rsteenoven's tutorial since it was from an older version of GIMP it didn't work thx... and I think it's up to you were you want to post them...

[nomercey999]
