Revision as of 15:54, 9 July 2014
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, 1st the guy behind me. |
02:15 | And 2nd 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 1st 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 pen. |
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 get's 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 lets 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 consist of three parts. |
06:39 | 1st there are the black patches or dark patches with no colours, which gives structure to the image. |
06:50 | Then there are the lines which defines 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 1st 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 lets 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 | 1st is ink light . |
11:28 | Top layer is ink dark. |
11:34 | And lets name the middle layer simply ink. |
11:40 | Now lets 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 pen on the surface the dot will be larger. |
13:20 | My foreground colour is white. |
13:24 | So lets 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 concern 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 | Lets 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’s 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'll 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 Gaussians 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 dont 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 lets just checkout if we have got this right upto now. |
18:56 | So I will switch the lines layer on and off and you see here there is some definition when the line 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 dont 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 upto 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 top and set the layer mode to Colour. |
21:00 | But it doesnt 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 this 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 colours 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 dont know if i am on the right track. |
25:01 | But I like it upto now. |
25:06 | Let’s see what else we can do. |
25:10 | 1st 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 | Lets try some different tricks. |
26:30 | I double the colour and the saturation layer 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 nice effect. |
27:08 | You see that the colours has 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 looks 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 sharpe 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 | Its 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 paint brush 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 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 mask 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 this 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. |
