[Gr3yfur]

Does this work with drawings as well?

[POLANCOPAULINO]

Thank you very much!

[fredz117]

Great ideas, thanks. A little more direction on where the cursor was going and what you selected would have helped this nice tutorial.

[jingyossi]

[dazzeroth]

Thanks, I saw something like this for photoshop but GIMP being different it confused me. heh, I"m still new to GIMP.

[winryie]

Thanks :) This helped lots

British accent is kind of hard to understand though (I think it's just me ^^") lol

[HowandReview]

where you get the box on the left

[myhorserocks100]

Okay you know that box that was on the right? Where do you find that? Please anwser back

[malgalin]

@myhorserocks100 ctrl+L

[shinxcq10]

i've been trying to set a green overlay on half of the flower image where i want the other half to have a white foreground. I don't want a green background but an overlay where half the flower will also be green. could you explain how i could do this

[malgalin]

@shinxcq10 I don't understand your question. Do you have an image that you can link to which could help illustrate your issue? Alternatively, try using screentoaster (google it) to record what you are trying to do.

[Just2Comment5]

THANK YO SO MUCH.

I've wanted to use textures for ages.

This helped a lot :)

thankyouthankyouthankyouuuuuu

[Moonridge5]

I'm new to Gimp (or any "advanced" photo editing, really) and this helped a lot! I finally know how to to layers and textures - thank-you!

[horcruxkiller]

I like the duplicating the face layer and desaturating it and putting it on overlay. Thanks for the tutorial!

[asyarihahaha]

I understand your tutorial but how do you erase that texture off the woman's face? Can you explain in detail or care to do another vid.?

[asyarihahaha]

Ohgosh! I feel so embarassed now! How do you OPEN THOSE TWO IMAGES! IT'S BEEN HOURS AND I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW?!!! Anyone reply?

[100pbengali]

lol file>open

[imRinny]

@asyarihahaha your going to wanted to press open again.

[helgihg]

Thanks for promoting open-source alternatives! :)

[berlin5637]

Ok, Im not trying to be a dick, but. I have been useing gimp for 4 days now. I have no other exp. in any program of this nature. To do this effect right you need to learn how to use your layer mask and alpha channels.

[FireRoxy]

Thank so much for this tutorial, it really helped me =D

[deebrieske]

thanks for another good tutorial!

[TheLightYagami]

what site do you get textures from?

[KingdomKeyz]

Try deviantart

just search textures

[undertheunknown]

I keep trying to paste my texture, but it takes over the picture layer instead of making a new or floating one. I can't get it to paste as a new layer. Can anyone help? I'd really appreciate it :)

[malgalin]

It should appear as a floating selection in your layers dock. Right click the floating selection in the layers dock and select new layer and it should fix your problem.

If you can't see the layers dock, press ctrl+l to open it.

Hope this helps.

[Mgamerz]

@malgalin Or just go to Edit>Paste As>New Layer

[PurpleStorm8]

Thanks, I'll give this a try.

[bgdc123]

When I copy the layer onto my photo, it turns out much smaller than the actual photo - only covering the eyes :(

how do i make it bigger ?

[ninjafiremans]

your gonna want to go through the tool options and find the one that says SCALE and then just click on the images sides and drag it to make it bigger

check out my gimp tutorials which will be on soon if not now

[mieshaliya]

LOL you people are a bit odd. The dudes Australian (:

[malgalin]

I live in Australia, but I'm as English as they come...

Tea, Scones and Warm Beer all the way!

[mieshaliya]

[PurpleStorm8]

[ktg1105]

Very Good. Like the effect you get with the greyscale image, great! Thanks

[k2evans118]

[luizito1212]

[varsityscoeergirl]

This is a miracle. I'm so glad I watched this!

[vkgoku2012]

[steven13cogar]

Okay so, I'v been looking all over youtube on how to make a picture look like a zombie..buut I can't really find one..soo..could you help me by making a tutorial?? Thnks^_^

--Steven

[shetlandponygirl]

Please help me! I have downloaded several Plugins and have unzipped the files but where do i need to copy them into to be able to access them in GIMP thanks x

[nekokittymew]

I can tell you that now listen very very carfully :O Once you downpload the plugins, your going to need to open them at the time you were going to download them you know when it said open download, cancel well you shoud open it becuase it downloads it anyways, its much easier to open it at the time, once you open it extract the file in the documents. Once you have done that click on "Move file" and then you move file into the gimp file thats downloaded into the computer.

[punkrockbfs]

depends what they are.

I'm using vista so what I do is go to local disk (c:), program files, gimp-2.0, share, gimp, 2.0. and then you'll see alot of folders saying brushes, gradients, images,scripts etc. and then you just paste in the files you downloaded in the correct category.

[mivkayla]

you could use cgtextures (its a site). all you have to do is sign up and they have tons of textures. just save them to your pics and open them up in gimp

[TheGreyLotus]

Thanks a lot. *hug*

[DinhCassie]

has anyone noticed, most of the people who make gimp tutorials happen to be british, but only the british people have that weird cursor where its like a yellow circle

[metal0artist0kyle]

not really true....i do agree that there is a wide variety of people who use gimp(Americans,Brits,Latinos)b­ut the yellow cursor thing is universal.....u've seen lots of people with yellow cursor thing regardless of nationality.

[coffeecandy7]

the yellow cursor is created by the screen recording software he's using. Camtasia.

[7Cooner]

also its on camstudio i use it myself

because it can be hard to find the cursor when

not watching a (HD) movie !

[coffeecandy7]

ah.. good point.

[mzthyck513]

idc where he frommm he sounds fukn hawt :}

-smitten-

-reviews all his tuts n subscribes-

[TheCatMan797]

How come almost all gimp toturals are done by people english accents?

(not a serious question, I just noticed it)

[linda86111]

lol this accent is so not british!!!!! more like smth else, but ure right!

[RiskySix]

um... It's obviously british. Southern, estuary english, sounds v. south or east london (I could be wrong though).

[szfehler]

Thanks for this tutorial! I knew there was a way to use the black .png masks i bought in gimp :) - this works perfectly :) I'm so pleased! I really appreciate you posting these GiMP tutorials : ) - I'm having a lot of fun with it !

[szfehler]

Thanks! I'm gonna watch this again tomorrow and try it out as you talk - but this is a wonderful pace as you speak and work, very easy to understand, and fun technique! Now i'm going to go see if you have any tuts on using masks in GIMP :)!

[xMalicious]

Awesome as always... :)

[77nova454]

Thanks I find your vids to be by far the most easy to understand.

[Yemeniaaa]

i love this program i make my backgrounds using it :p

it's acctually awsome

[kelseyhirschlein]

it looks like she had insane bad acne.

[ChArLiE3217]

Do you know how to make it appear that there is a cut on someone's face with gimp?

[misternewham]

Texture overlay effect? More like how to put acne on a pretty girl's face. Great tutorial!

[GlitterGlobe08]

Thankyou for this tutorial. It helped me loads. =D

[sfs2261]

Your tutorials are immensely helpful, easy to understand and I they have helped me out a lot.

Also, thanks for being modest and citing other videos where you've got information, when you've come across it. It helps to see other videos as well.

[BiaWhatever]

Thanx, I learned a lot :)

[heels76]

Much more in depth than other tutorials.....thanks for the info...

[mufferrs]

Keep on rollin' Mike [UK]

[TheRealGroundFault]

Great Video!

[zuzrezyser007]

I learned a lot. Thank you very much!

[foofea]

Thank you great tutorial- I find it very difficult to read the written tutorials and take in the info - this is fab - I look forward to some more :)

[marudell]

that was pretty cool.

i really appreciate all of your gimp tutorials!

:]

[ar7ix]

where do you get those images? i really need to now?

[aliwhite123]

When i did this on a person, there hair was half a different colour (because the rusty texture was a bit smaller than the person) help! :/

[naamhier]

..what GImp are you using? 2.4?

[malgalin]

2.4.6

[TheUnoticed]

Thank you so much!! That was so helpful. =]

<3

[iloverocks1989]

thank you! :)

[chucklesmcgee137]

how do you get the layer dialog box up?

[malgalin]

see my recovering lost docks tutorial

[pyrodogg]

filters> dialogs

[malgalin]

er...not quite.

Either just 'Dialogs' if you want it floating seperately as a new dock, or via the tab in another dock if you want it attached, as explained in the other tutorial.

[Islandfad]

I wish I had your accent. Thanks for the tutorial. I love working with gimp.

Primarily because I can't affording anything proprietary. But even if I could, I'd probably still use it, because it's awesome. More advanced tutorials! More Gimp! Gimp!!!! Ahaaaah!!!!!

[J2897]

Help!

Trying out Gimp.

Can draw with the 'Brush', but when I chose the 'Circle' or 'Rectagle', I draw, then the 'Circle' or 'Rectagle' just disapears!

[malgalin]

If you are referring to the cirlce and rectangle icons from the main tool bar then these are actually selection tools, not paint tools.

To change the shape of the brush you need a brushes tab opened up - see my variable brushes tut for details.

If this doesn't address the problem please explain what you mean a little more fully.

Hope this helps.

[nancypancy]

I was wondering how you make a picture where the background is a bit blurry than the main object in the picture?

[malgalin]

funny you should say that! That is going to be my next tutorial - should be up by weds evening...

[malgalin]

ok, the tut is now up

[darrownight]

Thanks very understandable, even for me.

[bitchslapper12]

How did you get all these toolbars i don't have any over the pictures!!!!

[malgalin]

to get "tool bars over the pictures" try right clicking over the image...

otherwise check out my recovering lost docks tutorial

[RIPPPtheJacker]

you just gave that chick mean pimples

[Aznballer2000]

Lol

[FDVISIONS]

You're videos are great. Thanks for the inspiration!

[hypnodroid]

your videos are very helpful for noobs like me in gimp.

[hellokitty1564]

wait, how do you even open that window on the far right? where you change the layer?

[malgalin]

See my recovering lost docks tutorial, or layers tutorial - You need to open a new dialog in the file menu = channels, layers, paths

[malgalin]

Of course - maybe later today since it's an easy one...

[HeadDominion]

can you do one explaining layers (i.e. for total total idiots who've got no idea on GIMP) - i.e. me?

[YuiTeub49]

clear, precise, and informative...well done... ^_^

[JmulreanyYR9]

Sir whats the thing bout its free if the price is right

its joe from media btw

[malgalin]

Joe - it's an expression:

"It's free so the price is right."

i.e. It didn't cost you anything so it's a bargin.

[JmulreanyYR9]

well duh but u sed its free IF the price is right not so the price is right

[NAKEDWEN]

Free If The price is right sir?

[b1zw1z]

Really helped me! :)

Thanks.

[nr367]
