Stone's GIMP Tutorial Thread

My first Gimp tut. *Embarrassing parent voice* Woohoooo lets go!


Now on with the real tut. (PS this might work on PS)

We will be making this cool effect:



Awesome right? (PS I will sadly not be using pics in this tut)


Ok Step 1. Open up a canvas 400x150.

Step 2.Paste your render in. (Will not be posting mine as it is bad for creativity)

But I suggest you get something like a guy jumping with a guitar or something like that.

Step 3.Draw 4 lines coming out of your render.

Step 4. Get out your smudge tool and select the vine brush.

Step 5. Got to you're brushes dialogue and at the bottom it should say Spacing. Set that to 1. Then go back too you're layers dialogue. On the toolbox panel you should see a bar called rate. Set that to 100.

6. On you're blue lines start smudging all over the lines with verysmall strokes.

7. Set it to screen.

8. Duplicate the layer and set it to Value 41 opacity.

9. Then draw some strokes of line over the smudged lines.


*Will finish tut tommorrow,

You seen my graphics thread? The Tulips. page 3. or 4.
We will make that.


Open up the pic.

So first you go to colors>Brightness and Contrast.

Contrast -21

Brightness 8.



Then go to Colors>Curves.


Set it like this:








NEW LAYER.
Then go to Filters>Renders>Clouds>Plasma.

Default.


SET TO GRAIN EXTRACT.

Done

I managed to do this to a Led Zeppelin image -

You got that from this tut?



never the less, I love it! brighten it up though.

Like this?

see no difference.

Stone (or 14stones)has another (terrible ) tutorial.









So, (obviously ) open up a new document.


I did 500x200. Don’t go higher then that if you are making a sig. Don’t go smaller than 400x120 either. (imo anyways)But I just did 500x200.






So, put your render. I will be using a render of a bear.





Now, with that done, paste in your render so it covers your whole sheet. Do this on a new layer.





Then you do filters>noise>pick. Set it 100 for each .It will take a while, so wait.






Then you do Filters>Blur> Gaussian Blur at 20 and hit ok.



Go back on the render layer and on the toolbox choose the color picker tool.






New layer.





With that color you have just lighten it. And then brush around your render. Set it to overlay 50 opacity.







New layer.


Get out your sparksbrush and brush around your render. Overlay
30 opacity. The simple sig is done. You might not like it so much, but, it is for toootal nooobs.

This is what you should get.

This is what I could do using the colour editing tut. The Red Green thing is where I got it from and I couldn't remove it.

Oh. Its verrry good! You just erase the logo.
