Time Narration
00:21 Welcome to the spoken tutorial of Meet the GIMP.
00:25 In the previous tutorial I left you with this image.
00:30 I want to make the ship a bit darker in this image.
00:34 And the best way to do this is to work with Layers.
00:40 So, first I zoom into the image where the ship is.
00:52 And I click on the option of adding a New Layer and simply add a new layer.
01:01 I name this layer as 'ship' and I choose the Layer Fill Type as Transparency.
01:11 Now the next step is to reduce the luminosity of all the three colour channels and to do that I have to use the Multiply mode & this time
01:22 I use gray colour to be multiplied with the other colours here because it helps in getting the ship darker in the image.
01:34 So, go to the option of colour selection mode and reduce the value of gray colour by pulling the slider down until I get a nice gray colour shade.
01:52 And now, just pull the gray colour into the image and you get a darker image with a dark ship.
02:02 Coming back to the Layers dialog, I can control the intensity of gray colour with the help of opacity slider and by turning the gray layer on and off.
02:18 But the effect of the layer is applied to the whole image and I want the effect to be restricted to the area of the ship.
02:28 For doing that, I use a layer mask.
02:31 A layer mask defines where the layer should be visible and where it should be invisible.
02:38 I go to the layer named ship and I right click on that layer. And then select the option Add Layer Mask and I select Black in Initialize Layer Mask because black helps in hiding all the layers & white helps to showing all the layers.
02:58 And these other options I will explain in future tutorials. Click on Add.
03:08 You can see the layer has no effect.
03:11 I can switch the layer on & off, but no effect after adding layer mask.
03:18 But I can paint into the layer mask or use some other edit tools.
03:24 And when I paint or use the tools , the effect will be revealed into the image.
03:31 To paint into the layer, I use white foreground colour & black background colour.
03:41 I click on the Brush tool, go to the option dialog, and select a brush which is 19 pixels in Circle.
03:54 And I again go to the Layers dialog to check if the layer mask is selected because I have to paint the layer mask and not the layer.
04:06 Let me show you the effect.
04:09 I change the layer mode to Normal layer mode & as you see the fore layer in the image is invisible.
04:18 I select a brush here and start painting on the portion of the ship and you can see a gray layer is revealed.
04:30 Now when I select the layer itself & paint, you can see the layer is now painted in white colour and not gray.
04:41 I select the layer mask again and press the ‘x’ key to change the foreground colour to black and background colour to white.
04:51 And start painting with white colour into my layer mask.
04:55 And because of black colour the image is hidden.
05:04 I can undo the unwanted effects simply by pressing ctrl + z and here we are back to paint the layer mask of the ship.
05:14 Now I change the background colour to black and foreground colour to white and start filling the form of the ship.
05:29 I think it’s much easier to paint in Normal mode.
05:34 As we get a gray ship after painting in Normal mode, it is easier to differentiate from background than in Multiply layer mode.
05:55 To paint into the fine edges of the ship, I reduce the brush size.
06:01 You can select a small brush in 3 different methods.
06:06 First is by using the scale to reduce the size of the brush,
06:12 2nd way is to click the small blue triangle here and select the brush of any size or else you can do that by typing the square brackets.
06:27 'Open square bracket' reduces the brush size and 'close square bracket' increases the size of the brush.
06:40 I want to use the small brush for the details, so I press 'open square bracket'.
06:47 But you can imagine what I have to do here and you don’t have to look over my shoulder for painting the whole ship.
07:00 Now I have finished painting the whole ship with a gray layer.
07:05 And I will have to check for the areas where I have overpainted the edge.
07:11 So, I switch the layer mode to Multiply mode and reduce the opacity slider a bit.
07:19 Adjust the opacity slider in such a way that you get a dark ship in the image.
07:26 And I have done a fairly good job.
07:30 But I am not so happy with the surface of the river in front of the ship.
07:37 And I have to make it a bit brighter.
07:42 So, I change the foreground colour to black by pressing the x key and start painting into the surface of the river in front of the ship with black colour to make it less darker than the ship.
08:04 I have to check out this effect once I finish working on the image and do the changes accordingly.
08:13 Now let’s check out the work I have done.
08:17 I zoom into the image using the zoom mode and I can make the ship a bit darker and brighter just by sliding the opacity slider.
08:29 I think this looks good and I have done a good job by masking the layer.
08:38 But I think the colour of the ship is a bit dull and this is possible because the 'ship' layer is above the 'colour correction layer' and they are working before the ship layer; so I just drop the 'ship' layer down, below the 'colour correction layers'.
08:59 And you can see the change, the colour of the ship gets neutral now.
09:06 Now I look at the whole image and the shortcut key is Shift+ Ctrl +E.
09:14 And I think it is a fairly good balance between the background colour, the birds and the ship. Perhaps I should slide down a bit with the intensity of the ship.
09:28 And now it looks better.
09:38 I think this is best.
09:45 When I compare the image without darkening and the ship layer, the birds and the ship are fairly dark in the ship layer and I think I got a good result by using layer mask for this image.
10:00 I can change the effects with the help of all the layer tools at anytime.
10:08 I nearly forgot a thing that I painted the layer mask with very sharp edge & when I zoom into the image, you can see there is a hard border here and I want a little bit smoother.
10:27 Because this may look a bit artificial, specially in a foggy seen.
10:36 For that, I select the layer mask to edit it a bit and choose Filter from the tool bar and select Blur.
10:49 In Blur I choose Gaussian Blur and go into the part of the ship and I drop down the value of Horizontal Radius to 4 and click on OK and blur the layer mask and you can see the effect that the hard edge of the ship is gone and now it looks good.
11:16 Now I m ready to do some corrective work with the image.
11:22 When you look at the image, you can see here a bit of wood in the water and on the left side is half a bird which is cut off at the edge and I want to clone them out.
11:40 So, again I choose the Zoom tool, and zoom in where the part of wood is and now choose the Healing tool.
11:51 Healing tool is bit like the Clone tool but it works better in this case here.
12:00 When I select the healing tool, I get a circle with the mouse point but I can’t click into the image & there is a forbidden sign in the mouse point.
12:12 The forbidden sign is because I haven’t selected the heal source and I can do it with the control (Ctrl) and click.
12:22 I have to select a good heal source and then I have to press Ctrl and click and I think this is a good place as heal source and now click on the wood part.
12:38 There is a problem here.
12:40 And the problem here is that I am working on the wrong layer.
12:45 I have to work on the background layer and I was trying to do the edit on the layer mask.
12:51 Of course, I have to choose a background layer and make a copy of that layer because I don’t want to alter the original background layer.
13:01 Now let's try Healing tool again.
13:05 And now I have made another mistake.
13:09 My source was this gray layer above.
13:13 And of course, I undo this and select a new source here. Alright, take that here and just click here and it is gone.
13:25 For this part, I select this part as the source and click and you can see it’s gone.
13:36 Let’s look at the image in 100% mode.
13:40 It looks quite good, perhaps I should have done it with a little bit greater brush because these dots are still together.
13:53 So again I select the Healing tool and select the source and clicked on the dots.
14:05 I think that worked.
14:09 Now I have to disappear this half cut bird on the left side.
14:15 For this, I zoom again into the image here and I select the Clone tool.
14:23 Cloning tool is not so complex like healing tools and I really don’t have a big experience in using this tool as it is new in the GIMP.
14:36 So, I have to follow same procedure like Healing tool. I just click here as a source, click on the bird here and I think this works.
14:49 Back to 100%. Perfect, this bird is gone.
14:55 I think this image is ready now.
15:00 First I wanted to make this image a bit brighter but I think I do it as finishing steps and I think it works the way it is now.
15:13 And I want to give this image to print to get a poster from it.
15:19 And the printer uses an aspect ratio of 3:2 and this image has the aspect ratio 2:1. So now, I have to change that.
15:33 I can do this with the help of canvas size which is there in Image in the tool bar.
15:40 I select Canvas Size and see that the image is 1868 pixels wide and the height is 945 and for calculating the ratio I use my calculator.
15:58 So, I divide 1868 by 3 and then multiply with 2 which gives me 1245.
16:15 I have to unchain this here, otherwise the width will change too and type into the Height 1245.
16:27 Now the image is OK.
16:30 It will fit on top and leave a white strip on the bottom and I don’t resize the layers, just click on OK and now I have an image with little bit of nothing on the bottom.
16:46 I have to fill the bottom part and for that, I choose a New Layer with Layer Fill Type White and use this layer as the bottom most layer.
17:06 This white area in the bottom will be cut off later.
17:10 But I can use it as the clue for the printer.
17:15 The printer is simply a computer with a print engine behind it and test to get some clues how to handle.
17:25 This image is quite unusual here, it is nearly black and white and it has not much contrast in it.
17:36 I select a rectangle here just over the whole image, select the Blend tool, the gradient filled with, set the Gradient to 'black to white'.
17:52 And now I fill this here up with the gradient.
17:57 Just click and draw a line and now I have the full colour range from black and white in the rectangle.
18:08 I have an area here from black to full white.
18:13 I repeat this one more time.
18:24 Choosing the Blend tool here and this time I use a special gradient called Full saturation; it has all the colour range in it.
18:42 And again fill this gradient, now I have hints for the printer how to preserve the image and if the colours are off I can always say here, this was suppose to be red and this was suppose to be green.
19:02 I think this was it for today.
19:06 For more information, go to info@ meet the gimp.org or leave a comment on the blog meet the gimp.org or come to the forum of "tips from the top floor".
19:26 Tell me what you liked, what I could have made better, what you want to see in the future.
