| 00.23 | Welcome to Meet The GIMP. My name is Rolf steinort and I am recording this is Bremen, Northen Germany.
|
| 00.30 | I got an e-mail from Jeson in New York and he just stopped the show about Triptychs, to find a different way of doing it. Before I started doing triptychs. |
| 00.45 | And he found a different way with using layer mask. And I think I should show you that in this tutorial. |
| 00.57 | I can't show you the image which Jeson used for doing Triptychs because he used images which are not freely available so I can't use them. |
| 01.10 | Using layer mask for doing Triptychs is very easy and I have modified his concept a bit about using a layer mask. I wonder why I didn't had that idea. |
| 01.25 | And I want to do a triptych with these three shots here. |
| 01.31 | I want to have this image on the left side, this 2nd one in the middle and this one on the right side. I want to change these square frames to something which suits this image. |
| 01.49 | We will see how this works out. |
| 01.53 | Now I can start making the Triptychs with these images here and I press tab to bring my tool box window into the foreground.
|
| 02.05 | Click on File and select New to create a new image and we get the default value of width as 3400 and 1200 for height. So I have three images of 1000 by 1000 and 100 pixels border between them. |
| 02.31 | Lets see how that works out. |
| 02.36 | For getting this image into the new image, I drag the background layer of this image from toolbox to my new image here and you get here background copy. |
| 02.54 | This was my left most image, so I rename it as Left and I press return after typing. So this image should be on the left side. And the next image should be on right side, so I pull the image in the same way and name it accordingly Right. |
| 03.32 | And this is the third image and this will become my central window, so I pull this image over to the new image and rename this layer as Center. |
| 03.49 | I make the right and central layers invisible and now I want to scale the left layer a bit down and when I zoom down a bit to say 10% you can see the borders of this layer and now the full frame of the image can be seen. And now I select the move tool so that I can move this image and adjust a bit.
|
| 04.26 | The image is not moving because I have selected the center layer. So now I select the left layer and move it a position the bottle. I want to scale down this layer a bit, so I select the scale tool from the tool box and go to the tool info and click on aspect ratio and in preview I choose the image option. And now I click into the layer, and pull the info window aside and reduce it from the corner. |
| 05.09 | I think more or bit less. |
| 05.15 | I can grab this image and I can position it where I want to and I think I should have put some guidelines on here.
|
| 05.30 | So I zoom into the image by 100% and go to the left top corner. Now I pull the rulers down here for guidelines. I wondered why I couldn’t move a ruler and here is an option move the active layer, by selecting it I can move the active layer. |
| 06.01 | It's a nice option to protect the layers and I select the size of the frame as 100 on the right side and i go down and I set it 1100 and on right side I set it as 1100.
|
| 06.31 | This is the frame for my image. Shift + Ctrl + E gives me the whole image and now I select the active layer option. |
| 06.43 | And in zoom ratio I select 10%. I think I should select 13% and thats enough. |
| 06.59 | I click on scale tool and keep the aspect ratio and pull this scale window out of the frame. Now I scale this image.
|
| 07.13 | Now I have the frame to look where I want to place this image. And I think I should make it a bit smaller because I want to have the shads of glass here in the image.
|
| 07.40 | Now I click on scale and I get my scaled image. |
| 07.49 | For getting the frame around the image I just add a layer mask. |
| 08.01 | And I make my layer mask black i.e full transparency. And just click on add.
|
| 08.13 | So now i select a rectangle inside the borders here and fill the rectangle with white. I pull the white colour over here and you can see that the bottle becomes visible and for completing the frame here, I just zoom into it. And I'll paint with white with irregular strokes on the layer mask. |
| 08.44 | To do that I select the brush tool, go to the dialog here and I select here a soft brush for painting. |
| 09.01 | Before painting I have to de-select my selection by pressing Shift + Ctrl + A, and now I can start painting with white. White is selected |
| 09.16 | Now I paint with white here around and you see while I am painting white on the layer mask, I am revealing the image below. And the painting is irregular but it's ok. |
| 09.40 | Now I am selecting a different brush and I think this is better. I get a fuzzy corner. I should zoom into the image 100% so that you can see it. |
| 10.04 | I get kind of the fuzzy border here and I will make it a bit more fuzzy in a moment by painting twice above it. And now you can see that the border is getting a little bit more irregular. |
| 10.22 | Perhaps this is not the right tool here but you can use different tools and now I want to sharpn this image. You can check out that I am still working in the layer mask. You can check it here. The layer mask is selected with white here. So click on Filters, Blur, Gaussian blur and i select high blur count here and I think thats ok. |
| 11.03 | And now i have really fuzzy border here around. So lets look at the full image Shift + Ctrl + E |
| 11.17 | I have the 1st part of my tryptych and I do the others in the same way. |
| 11.26 | I have finished with the other images and you can see here i have over painted over the rulers and i can do that here too. Now i want to remove the rulers and new way of doing that is to go to the image, Image Guides and here i can remove all guides. And i found out that i can do a new guide here and select the position numerically. Its wonderful to have this options. |
| 12.08 | The GIMP has so many options that you cant remember all of them. Go to View and de-select layer Boundry. I want to have this bottle a bit more up into the corner. I think there is bit more space here and little bit less here. |
| 12.30 | I think the right and the center image are here at the right corner. But I think this bottel should go up there. So i'll go out of full screen mode. I de-select the center and the right layer and concentrate on the left layer. |
| 12.54 | Now I need the rulers for guidance. So click on Image, Guides, New guide. And type in Horizontal position 100. |
| 13.10 | Again go to Image, Guides, New guide and select vertical position as 100. |
| 13.20 | And now I select my move tool. Go to the options, select move the active layer and i just move this up here. |
| 13.37 | I think I have made a mistake so I undo the step by pressing Ctrl + z. and here you can see that the mask is selected. I want to move the layer. So now i select the image and i just pull it up and the mask moves with it. I found no way to lock the mask but I can correct that. I select the layer mask and pull the layer mask back to my corner here. |
| 14.12 | I think this looks better now. |
| 14.19 | And now this image is finished with the help from Jeson in New York. |
| 14.28 | No this image isn't finished. The thing i normally dont forget but i always forget when i am recording because i have to think about such lot of other things than just making my image. I have again forgotten to save it. |
| 14.56 | Save it as jaegermeister.xcf, xcf contains all the layer information and i'll cut out all the stuff about rescaling for the web. . |
| 15.08 | You'll find a link to this file in the show notes at meetthegimp@org and if you want to leave a comment then please do that. |
| 15.18 | This is Hemant Waidande dubbing for the Spoken Tutorial Project. |
