If you wish to open all files available with gimp
[Link]
36
Click select all

37
I do recommend leaving
this part as is

Since I only want to use

purposes

50
Gimp interface
[Link]
51
This is the default window of gimp
[Link]
52
To get started with gimp
[Link]
53
Well need a canvas
[Link]
54
Click file
[Link]
55
Click new
[Link]
56
Gimp will then ask for the image size
[Link]
57
Not sure about manually typing the resolution?
[Link]
58
You can click the template dropdown menu
[Link]
59
And now you can choose from the choices
provided
[Link]
60
Do note that some resolutions are really large
[Link]
61
Like this a3 template here
[Link]
62
To elaborate, we compare it to this template
[Link]
63
Notice that the difference is quite huge
[Link]
64
This is important to
remember
[Link]
65
For you to avoid
consuming too much disk
space
[Link]
66
You can click reset if you wish to redo
[Link]
67
This will default to the 600x400 resolution
[Link]
68
however, you can click ok if you are satisfied
[Link]
69
Congratulations! You now have your canvas
[Link]
70
Congratulations! You now have your canvas
[Link]
71
Next step is to utilize this area
[Link]
72
Click windows
[Link]
73
Highlight dockable docks
[Link]
74
And choose from the selection
[Link]
75
I have chosen brushes, gradients, and palletes
[Link]
76
Now we will move these dialogs here
[Link]
77
Simply by dragging them
[Link]
78
You have to click this part
[Link]
79
You will know when you have successfully
dragged it
[Link]
80
When it now occupies the space
[Link]
81
Lets add these two now
[Link]
82
Lets add these two now
[Link]
83
The end result should look like this
[Link]
84
Notice the tabs now are only pictures
[Link]
85
You can arrange them separately like so
[Link]
86
To do that
[Link]
87
youd drag the tab you wish to seperate
[Link]
88
And highlight it slightly above the tabs
[Link]
89
Until a blue line appears in the area
[Link]
90
Once the line appears you can drop the tab
[Link]
91
And it should look like this now
[Link]
92
Now you have easy to access tools
[Link]
93
Now you have easy to customize tools
[Link]
94
And next is maybe youd want a picture
[Link]
95
To add pictures, you click file
[Link]
96
Click open
[Link]
97
This window will open
[Link]
98
Select your image
[Link]
99
Click open
[Link]
100
And a separate window with the image will open
[Link]
101
And now your gimp window should look like this
[Link]
102
It looks messy because of the window
[Link]
103
Lets merge the image into one window
[Link]
104
By dragging this part here
[Link]
105
Into the white canvas here
[Link]
106
Once you begin dragging
the window minimizes
[Link]
107
Giving you lots of space
to drop the image
[Link]
108
If the image is larger
than the canvas size
[Link]
109
The image will overlap the canvas
[Link]
110
But it will not show the full image
[Link]
111
As shown by the yellow lines here
[Link]
112
They signify the size of the image
[Link]
113
If this happens, just create a new canvas
[Link]
114
Always remember the image size!
[Link]
115
Merging/overlapping 2 pictures
[Link]
116
Its preferable that you
have different sized
images
[Link]
117
You will need to open a new image
[Link]
118
I chose the image of kuya jobert
[Link]
119
Fresh from the google search results
[Link]
120
Fresh from the google search results
[Link]
121
First thing you should do
[Link]
122
Click fuzzy select tool
[Link]
123
And drag around the image
[Link]
124
Now click layer
[Link]
125
Highlight transparency
[Link]
126
Then click add alpha channel
[Link]
127
This will give the image a
transparent background
[Link]
128
After that, if the image is still highlighted
[Link]
129
Shown by the lines
[Link]
130
Press the delete key
[Link]
131
And this should be the end result
[Link]
132
If there are smudges in the picture
[Link]
133
You can use the eraser tool
[Link]
134
To remove the smudges
[Link]
135
Now let us move the image
[Link]
136
Drag this part
[Link]
137
And drop it anywhere in the image
[Link]
138
The image may not show itself
[Link]
139
But it is there
[Link]
140
Here in the layers dialog
[Link]
141
We want kuya joberts picture to be here
[Link]
142
Simply drag the layer and drop it above tulips
[Link]
143
Like so
[Link]
144
Higher layer=more
priority on visibility
[Link]
145
Now lets get back to the
images
[Link]
146
Now the image of kuya jobert appears
[Link]
147
Adding alpha layer in the kuya jobert image
[Link]
148
Allows images layered beneath it to be shown
[Link]
149
Basic image effects
[Link]
150
Gimp has a lot of neat
effects
[Link]
151
And they are also easy to
use
[Link]
152
These effects can accessed here in filters
[Link]
153
Each filter has a category and subcategory
[Link]
154
Each filter has a category and subcategory
[Link]
155
For now let us highlight artistic
[Link]
156
And select clothify
[Link]
157
Every effect has its settings window
[Link]
158
This is the setting window for clothify
[Link]
159
Unfortunately, there is no preview
[Link]
160
Lets click ok
[Link]
161
And presto!
[Link]
162
Kuya joberts image is not affected
[Link]
163
Since the highlighted layer is the tulips image
[Link]
164
Effects apply to the
highlighted layer
[Link]
165
Lets try another effect
[Link]
166
This time well edit kuya joberts image
[Link]
167
Lets highlight edge-detect
[Link]
168
And select neon
[Link]
169
Here is the setting window for neon
[Link]
170
More radius=blemishes the picture
[Link]
171
More amount=adds more color
[Link]
172
When done, click ok
[Link]
173
And here is the end result!
[Link]
174
The other effects work
in a similar mechanic
[Link]
175
Wherein you just select
the effect
[Link]
176
And adjust it to your
liking
[Link]
177
Try to experiment with
the other effects!
