Great show! Btw, the link to this page (http://meetthegimp.org/episode-044-splitting-myself/) is missing on the “Get all videos” page.

@ Dejan: Interesting – I too could not get this episode to sync to my ipod. All the others have gone over fine. I don’t know what’s different with this one.

The post itself is great but I had some trouble loading this post to my Ipod video. I hope this problem will not persist

Keep up the good work

Oh, awesome idea from FG! I’ve never thought of that

I haven't watched the show yet, but look forward to it. I did a similar thing recently that you can see on my photoblog.

(Again, my preference:) I would create a rough selection first and then add the mask with the “Selection”-option. In other words, exactly what you did, only instead of inverting the selection and deleting, I’d add the mask.

@Serge: I thought about taking a picture of the video camera in the lab clamp. But forgot about that. Filming while filming me taking pictures of myslef would really have been a crazy touch.

@Torbjorn: Layers would have been the better alternative but I wanted to keep one level of complexity out of the process.
With layer masks I would have made the full layer invisible and revealed only the important parts.

@FG: You stole content from the next show! That is indeed a good method to get rid of people and moving traffic. If you do this over a longer period, the moving shadows will make some headache.

Another very enjoyable episode and as always a great tutorial on GIMP itself. I look forward to each episode! I do have a variation of your project. If you trying to take a picture of something like a building that has people constantly in the way you can do the same technique of locking the camera’s exposure and taking multiple images over time as people move in and out of the frame. You can then take the images into GIMP and do the opposite of your video by adding the parts of the picture that do *not* contain the people and create a final image without the people.

Personally, I’d use layer masks for this sort of stuff, not the eraser. Other than that, yet another great video.

Also, one small tip: For navigating in the image when zoomed in, press the spacebar on the keyboard. When moving the mouse with that key pressed, the “focus” in the image will move.

Wow! This was a fun episode. Great work, Rolf.

Great show, Rolf. Filming yourself while photographing yourself while posing yourself. If you only had a video camera while posing, it would have been very Escheresque.

Those little remarks as “after this unpaid commercial” give these shows a nice personal touch. Keep it that way.

Finally, the Copy Visible option is something which I have been looking for quite some time. Until now I have been copying layer by layer and then merging the copies. I knew that there had to be a more elegant way. Thanks for this little secret.

Slip of the finger – of layers

Tremendous, I loved every minute of it and, what’s more, another application o layers. Thank you.
