This video shows how to use some basic image editing techniques to replace the face in an image with another face. If you have any questions, I will be glad to help you, but *please* be specific and detailed in your question, otherwise it risks being ignored.


== Keyboard shortcuts mentioned ==

Ctrl-L:
Show the Layers Dialog.

Hold Ctrl (when scaling):
Maintain aspect ratio.

+,-:
Zoom in/out

Hold Middle Mouse Button and move:
Pan (move within) image.

],[:
Increase,decrease radius. (New functionality, you might not have it in your version.)

Ctrl-Z:
Undo.


==Swedish pronunciation dictionary==
roofly = roughly
future = feature


==Technical details==
The video was recorded with recordMyDesktop using GIMP 2.3.16 on Ubuntu 7.04 beta, and scaled/sharpened/encoded with MEncoder, using this command:
mencoder face-replace.ogg -vf scale=320:240,smartblur=4:-0.5:-10 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -af volume=30 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=2000:vqmin=2:keyin­t=50 -o gimp-tutorial-face-replace.avi

After encoding it, I discovered that Directors can't upload videos longer than 10 minutes anymore :(, so I used MEncoder to losslessly split it in two parts.


Feel free to spread the video in YouTube-embedded format as much as you like.

I followed your steps but when I try to use blur, everything I painted away pops back up and turns see through.

Hey, are you familiar with "photo SFX art" (google it)? There you will find a nice free video featuring the way to make amazing photographs. It helped Matt to take photographs that have that jaw-dropping-effect when you take a look at them. I hope it helps you also...
