Time Narration
00:18 Welcome to the spoken tutorial of Meet The GIMP.
00:21 My Name is Rolf Steinort and I am recording this in Bremen, Northern Germany.
00:27 In the beginning, I will do something that I always forget to mention.
00:34 I always forget to save the image before doing anything to it.
00:45 So I go to File, Save as and save this as
01:05 "comic.xcf".
01:12 ‘xcf’ is the Gimp native file format and it keeps all the layers information in the file.
01:22 Never save anything in Gimp as JPEG or 'tif' or so, if you want to work further with it.
01:30 You can export from there to every format you want to but for anything you want to do further work with, use 'XCF'.
01:45 So, what to do? 1st thing I have to clear up this image a bit.
01:59 There are two problems here. First, the guy behind me
02:15 and second is this clutter, below here.
02:21 This statue here is very well placed and I think, it is one of the corner points of this image.
02:31 So, let me first take away this stuff here.
02:36 So I zoom into the image and select the Pen Tool.
02:50 This is best done by Cloning Tool and I don’t have to work very precise here because all this little stuff will vanish in the final image.
03:05 So I select the Clone tool and change the size of the Brush.
03:13 Now, I press Ctrl and click to get a starting point and now I simply start to paint.
03:24 But, before starting that I change the Overlay mode to Normal mode, Opacity to 100 and now let’s start painting.
03:42 Image gets a little bit cloudy, so I select another brush to paint.
03:57 And now I go here to the border and paint.
04:37 So, the guy is gone.
04:41 That leaves the clutter here.
04:44 I want to keep the flower pot here but this stuff here has to go.
05:03 I will take care of this border of the flower pot in a moment.
05:24 If I would keep this image in this way, you would see the traces of cloning but they will vanish when I switch on the comic mode.
05:43 So, now let's do a bit about the flower pot here.
06:06 I think, I should clone from this point.
06:26 It doesn't look very convincing in this zoom step but I think it will work.
06:34 The comic image basically consists of three parts.
06:39 First, there are the black patches or dark patches with no colours which give structure to the image.
06:50 Then there are the lines which define forms and items in the image.
06:57 And then there is colour and we will start as in the tutorial with the patches.
07:04 And for that,
07:15 I double this layer and call it ink.
07:25 I select the Threshold tool and click into the image and pull the info. window into the image.
07:37 You see here, the image is black and white.
07:43 This tool divides the image into black and white.
07:48 If the pixel is lighter than, at the moment, 82 then the combination of average value of red, green and blue is white.
08:02 And if the level is below 82 it becomes black.
08:14 Now we face the first problem here.
08:19 When I draw this slider around, the effect is very dark.
08:26 This value here, 129, would be nice for the left part of my face, the shoulder and for the statue.
08:40 This would be nice for the eyes here
08:48 and this for other eye.
08:53 Now I have to use different ink layer for this image.
09:01 So, let's start from the lighter side, like this one here and go back into the image to 100%.
09:14 I double this here and select the Threshold tool and pull this slider down.
09:29 But before that I have to make the top layer invisible.
09:46 I think this value is good for this part of the face.
09:56 I make a copy of this layer and make it visible and now I am working on this layer.
10:08 I have to look for the middle terms here.
10:13 This part of the face, I think this works quite good; so I look around in the image.
10:23 The statue is fine too.
10:26 This image has a good definition here and near my hand the line is invisible and that is called optical illusion.
10:41 I think this is fine and it should be in the image.
10:49 Now, I select the Threshold tool, make the line here visible and look at the bright parts to get little bit of definition. So I slide this up.
11:08 This looks better.
11:12 Now I have 3 copies of my ink layer.
11:17 First is ink light .
11:28 Top layer is ink dark.
11:34 And let's name the middle layer simply ink.
11:40 Now let's look at the 3 layers and decide which one is to use mostly.
11:49 I think ink layer is a good base because this is too light and this is too dark.
12:01 So, I put this layer in the bottom and I add a layer mask to the dark layer and the light layer.
12:12 I add a layer mask in black which is fully transparent.
12:18 So, everything here gets invisible.
12:26 When I draw white on this layer mask of the light layer, the image will be revealed in it.
12:45 So, I select the Brush tool here with Normal mode and Opacity 100%.
12:55 I think, I shall use a hard brush and the Pressure sensitivity should be the Size. So, when I press the brush on the surface, the dot will be larger.
13:20 My foreground colour is white.
13:24 So let's start.
13:28 I think the left part of the face should be brightened.
13:34 I press 1 to zoom into the image.
13:39 I think this brush is too small, so I scale this a bit up.
13:53 That looks better.
14:00 But perhaps it is too bright.
14:05 This has to be either black or white.
14:47 So, I switch the colours with ‘X’ key and paint this over again, here.
14:57 But I think, I can leave this out here and put the next layer above that.
15:14 Now, we are more concerned about the areas and about the structure. So, I should forget about the lines and just look at the structure here.
15:30 Simply leave it as it is.
15:34 I can add another layer easily and now I paint for the dark parts with the white colour.
15:44 Let's see if I can reveal here a little bit.
15:51 I think this is too much.
15:56 I want to make the face a bit darker.
16:08 And here also.
16:19 I think that is too dark.
16:31 Here, there is some work still to be done but I will leave it to this here and look at it after I am done with the next step with the lines and then I can adjust here.
16:46 This has to be brightened up.
16:49 So, we will look at the edit there.
16:53 In this step, I have to add some lines and this can be done by doubling the Background layer and putting it on top and naming it lines.
17:08 The lines are the edges between different colours.
17:15 So, I go to Filters, then we have Edge-detect and here I have Difference of Gaussian Edge Detect.
17:33 The relevant slider is the Radius and if you decrease the number, the lines get finer.
17:45 If you increase the number, the lines get wider and you get more of the details in the image.
17:56 I would prefer something around 10 but I can go to 30 and then decide where exactly I should stop.
18:10 When I go to 30, I don't get the edges but areas and 12 would give this here.
18:27 And I think I will settle at 10.
18:37 I set the Layer mode of this layer to Multiply and for the colour rising I will later need to reduce the white in the image.
18:50 Now let's checkout if we have got this right up to now.
18:56 So, I will switch the lines layer on and off and you see here there is some definition when the lines layer is on.
19:08 And now I de-select the dark ink layer and keep the light ink layer.
19:20 The structure that I wanted to have in with my dark ink layer is visible in the lines layer.
19:30 So, I will leave the dark ink layer switched off.
19:42 I don't think there is a need to combine these layers here.
19:50 I will leave it as it is so that I can change something and it will be in the final image.
20:09 Next step, as I said, I have to reduce the White channel here and it can be done with the Levels tool and I reduce the level up to 240.
20:28 When I switch off this layer, you can see that I have a gray background and little bit of colour information in here.
20:40 For getting the colour in the image, I copy the Background layer and name it colour and put it on the top and set the layer mode to Colour.
21:00 But it doesn't look good, so I should change the mode.
21:07 The image has got little bit of colour in here.
21:12 But I want more saturation, so again I make the copy of Background layer and name it saturation.
21:24 I set the layer mode to Saturation.
21:29 I think this Saturation mode already works and the effects are very good.
21:38 There should have been more flatness in the colour and the hand is not looking comic.
21:47 I will look where this comes from.
21:51 So, I can now start to play with these sliders.
21:58 Going down with Saturation gets little bit flatter and looks more like water colours. So, this is a strange effect.
22:19 Now I can start to play with the layers here.
22:26 So, I switch off the lines layer and you see here that this is not the effect from the lines but from colour and saturation.
22:39 Now I can make some adjustments because I still have the layers here.
22:47 I want to lighten the face, so I select my ink light layer, select a brush with white foreground colour.
23:12 I zoom into the image.
23:18 Reduce the size of the brush and scale it a bit and now I start to paint the eye, here.
23:34 That's too much.
23:50 This looks better.
23:54 Now I paint in this part.
24:00 This is too much.
24:03 You can imagine, there can be lot of modifications in here you can make in the image by changing these areas here.
24:47 This is OK.
24:51 You can do a lot of changes here and I don't know if I am on the right track.
25:01 But I like it up to now.
25:06 Let’s see what else we can do.
25:10 First thing is, we can use a different layer than the lines.
25:18 So, I switch off the lines and I get very strange colours because now I have again a white background.
25:31 So add another layer here and set it to white and use Multiply mode and fill it with 240 grey.
25:52 Now I have got nearly the same image as with my lines here.
25:59 Let me switch them on.
26:03 I have the lines information coming out but this comic effect is still there and I can look what’s better.
26:21 Let's try some different tricks.
26:30 I double the colour and the saturation layers and do something with them.
26:39 Here, I just try to get the details out of the image.
26:45 So, go to Filters >> Blur and Gaussian Blur.
26:53 And here, I choose a value which gives me a nice effect.
27:08 You see that the colours have got little bit smoother.
27:18 So, let's do this on the saturation copy also.
27:24 Go to Filters >> Repeat "Guassian Blur" .
27:29 And now I have really flat image with flat colours.
27:36 So, I switch on the original colour and I get a strange effect here.
27:44 Let's rename these layers as saturation blurred and the colour blurred.
28:04 If I combine the blurred saturation with the unblurred colour, I get some colours here which look quite a bit strange.
28:16 I would like it if it was not especially on the nose, here.
28:22 So, switching this back on and I have this effect here.
28:29 You can imagine if you reduce the blurring, you get sharp details.
28:37 This is a real play ground.
28:40 You have a lot of possibilities here like how to do this, what to do, what to tinker with.
28:50 It's really fun to do this.
29:09 The author of the original tutorial has done a tremendous job.
29:24 I am not so happy with both versions of this image.
29:31 I like the structure here and the flower, the statue and the pot here.
29:40 I don’t like all the details near the hand and in the face, this could be little bit more flat.
29:49 In the blurred on, I like the details in the face and near the hand but I don’t like the flower which is completely blurred away.
30:04 So, now I can combine the two images and I will start with colour blurred because I like the over all appearance of this more than of the saturation blurred.
30:20 But I switch on all the layers and add layer mask to saturation blurred and colour blurred and I add a Black layer mask, fully transparent.
30:37 And now I'll start working on saturation layer mask. So, I select white as my foreground colour and select the Paintbrush here.
30:51 Now I start painting.
30:55 I just paint over the parts where I want to have little bit more flatness in the image.
31:04 This will look a bit strange because now I have the colour layer switched on.
31:46 So now, I select everything by pressing Shift+ctrl+A and copy it by Ctrl + C, go into the image and press Ctrl + V and click on insert this Floating Selection and with Ctrl + H or with the anchor layer I have my copy here.
32:20 So, you can copy these layer masks too and I think I will leave this image here.
32:32 I think it’s so quite nice example and in the end I play a bit with these sliders.
32:54 Lets recap this.
32:57 You first copy the image layer and make an inked image with threshold tool.
33:05 Look for areas which you want to have black or very dark.
33:10 Then you copy the base image again and make a line layer with the edge detect filter and then you set the layer mode to Multiply.
33:29 In this layer, you reduce the white to a gray about 240 with the Levels tool.
33:42 Then you copy again the base image and make a colour layer.
33:49 Set the colour mode to Colour.
33:56 And finally you copy the base layer last time and make a saturation layer and here you set the layer mode to Saturation and now you play with the opacity of the different layers or at some layers.
34:20 Just play around. The results are well mixed but some are stunning.
