2 facesToday I have two videos made by viewers of “Meet the Gimp!”.

Torsten Kunkel made a video about the image on the left side. He had two passport images of a person taken 40 years apart. One with age 17, the other now. And he combined them in one image, showing what changes and what stays constant.

I added some tips about an easier way to paint the dividing line and about ways to further improve this image.

Michael Schönitzer sent in the scond video. He shows how to fit a selection around an object on a uniform background. Of course I had to try it too.

You’ll her a lot of rumbling noises. I have new microphone stands and forgot to isolate them acoustically from the desktop. Too much clutter…. Sorry.

You can find the files used by Torsten here on the Download Page.

Selections are widely used in Gimp. Select something to work only on that, to cut or copy it, to move it around…..

In this show I cover the “fuzzy select tool”, the “select by colour tool”, the “intelligent scissors” and the “foreground select tool”.

I hope you had not too much trouble with the feed change…

Episode 017: Selecting Selections Part 1

Selections are widely used in Gimp. Select something to work only on that, to cut or copy it, to move it around…..

In this video I cover the basics of selections, the usage of the rectangle, elipse and free hand selection tool with all their options, the different selection modes (replacing, adding, substracting and intersecting) and the different keyboard shortcuts you can use. Yes, there is a difference between first pressing shift and then the mouse or the other way around.

Finally I show you how to work with the Quickmask to make finetunings to your selection and how to save a selection for later use in a channel.
