Time	Narration
00.23	GIMPக்கு நல்வரவு.
00.25	Northern Germany, Bremen லிருந்து Rolf Steinort ஆல் இந்த tutorial உருவாக்கப்பட்டது.
00.31	GIMP ஒரு சக்திவாய்ந்த image manipulation program.
00.35	இந்த முதல் tutorialலில் GIMP பற்றியும் அதன் சிறப்பம்சங்களையும் காண்போம்
00.39	webக்கு ஒரு Image ஐ எவ்வாறு தயாரிப்பது என சுருக்கமாக செய்து காட்டுகிறேன்
00.43	மேல்வரும் tutorialகளில் அதற்கான விரிவான விளக்கத்தைத் தருகிறேன்
00.48	ஒரு imageஐ திறக்க, அந்த image ஐ tool boxக்கு இழுத்து விடுகிறேன்.
00.53	அது இங்குள்ளது!
00.55	அந்த imageஐ பார்க்கலாம்.
00.57	webக்கு இந்த Image ஐ தயாரிக்க விரும்புகிறேன்.
01.02	இதனுடன் நான் செய்யக்கூடியதைப் பார்க்கலாம்.
01.04	முதலில் இந்த image சாய்ந்துள்ளது. எனவே அதை சற்று சுழற்ற வேண்டும்.
01.09	பின் இந்த பகுதியை நீக்க crop செய்கிறேன் - ஒரு நபரின் பின்னால்.
01.16	நான் செய்யும் மூன்றாவது விஷயம் மேலும் colors மற்றும் contrastஐ கொண்டுவருவது.
01.22	இந்த image கிட்டத்தட்ட 4000 pixels அகலம் கொண்டு அதிகமாக இருப்பதால் அதை மறுஅளவாக்க விரும்புகிறேன்
01.31	பின் அதை கூர்மையாக்கி(sharpen) JPEG image ஆக சேமிக்கிறேன்.
01.38	சுழற்றுதலுடன் (rotating) ஆரம்பிக்கலாம்.
01.40	I zoom into the part of the image where it is most obvious that the image is tilted. You can see it here.
01.49	By the way, you can move around in the image by pressing Space and just moving the cursor.
01.56	And now I choose the Rotate tool by clicking here.
02.00	In the Rotate tool, there are some options set by default to values suited for graphical work and not for photographic work.
02.09	So here Direction is set to Normal(Forward) but I will set it to Corrective(Backward).
02.14	I check if I have the best Interpolation. So that's fine.
02.17	And in the Preview I choose Grid instead of the Image.
02.22	I shall increase the no. of grid lines by moving the slider. You will see it soon.
02.30	Now I will click on the image and get a grid overlaid on the image.
02.36	This grid is straight.
02.38	And I can rotate it and GIMP will rotate the image in the same direction in the Corrective mode so that the grid is straight again.
02.51	Let me demonstrate. I will rotate the grid like this.
02.56	I will check the other part of the image to make sure.
03.00	Looks good to me.
03.02	Now I will click on the Rotate button.
03.06	This will take some time since the image is about 10 mega-pixels
03.13	And it is done!
03.14	The image has rotated.
03.16	Lets have a look at the whole picture. Shift + Ctrl + E brings us back to the image.
03.22	Next step is Cropping.
03.25	I chose the Crop tool by clicking here.
03.28	I want to keep the aspect ratio of the image as 3:2.
03.33	For that I check Fixed Aspect ratio here and type in 3:2.
03.39	Just clicking to come out of that box.
03.43	And now, I can start cropping.
03.45	I want to include the feet of this person here but exclude this part of the image.
03.52	So I start here at this point and pressing the left mouse button, I drag upward towards the left to select the area.
04.01	Note that the aspect ratio is constant.
04.06	And now I have to decide how far to drag.
04.12	I think this is quite good.
04.18	Let’s checks the borders.
04.21	We have excluded this part. There is a person sitting here.
04.28	I think there is enough room here for the person to be in the picture.
04.35	So I will leave it that way since it looks nice.
04.41	There are windows here on the top.
04.44	And there is enough of them in the image to see them as windows.
04.50	But I think there is not enough room around here at the feet
04.54	So I'll just click on the image, and drag it a bit down.
04.58	I think this is good now.
05.01	But now there is not enough windows seen here and the person seated here is very near to the border.
05.08	So lets make the image a bit larger.
05.11	We are running into a problem here. Perhaps you can see it.
05.18	This happened during the rotation
05.21	There is a small part here which is transparent now.
05.25	I don’t want to include that,
05.33	so lets go back to Crop tool.
05.35	I want a bit more room here; so I am dragging this up.
05.38	Not so far.
05.40	I think this is quite good.
05.44	Now just click on the image and here we have the cropped & rotated image.
05.50	Shift + Ctrl + E brings us back to the full view.
05.56	Next step is to boost the colors & contrast a bit.
06.02	There are several ways here. I could use the color levels - here it is, the curves or some sliders.
06.11	But I will try doing this with layers.
06.18	I simply make a copy of this layer here.
06.23	And change the layer mode to Overlay.
06.30	And you can see its a very strong effect. I don’t want to have it that much.
06.36	So I slide the opacity slider down to a value where I think its looking good.
06.42	Little more perhaps.
06.46	Ok, I think this is good enough.
06.50	I can always change that unless I right click the mouse here to go to the channel list and say 'Flatten image' or 'Merge visible layers'.
07.01	Then all the changes become permanent.
07.03	Except if I go into History here and go back and undo the history.
07.10	But we’ll cover that later.
07.13	Next step is Resizing.
07.16	I will click on the Image menu & select Scale Image option.
07.27	Here I will just type in 800 pixels.
07.32	And I get the value for the height automatically.
07.36	When I unlock this link here, I could distort the image while re-sizing it.
07.44	Interpolation
07.45	I think I will choose Cubic. I found that the highest layer here gives some art effects with brick buildings. Its strange and I will have to check that out.
08.02	Now, Click on Scale
08.04	And we’ll look at the result
08.08	Shift + Ctrl + E gets us the whole image
08.13	And when I press 1, I get 100% zoom.
08.19	Now we can look around in the image to see if we have any really disturbing or distracting stuff. But I personally think it worked out well.
08.32	Next step is Sharpening.
08.35	My lens is quite good and my camera too. But we have manipulated the image. So it has to be sharpened a bit.
08.49	I will select Filters
08.53	and click on Enhance and here is Sharpening. I could also use the Unsharp mask which is very powerful sharpening tool. But for now, Sharpening is enough.
09.06	This tool has basically only one option which is the sharpness slider. It can be adjusted and its enough for such an image.
09.16	This is the unsharpened image and when I drag this slider, the image gets sharpened more and more. You get a very funny effect if you slide it too far.
09.31	I think for this image this value is good.
09.38	The hair looks clearer now but here you can see some blending or distortion.
09.46	So we will slide it down and this is better.
09.52	I would like to go for soft effects rather than have any distortion in the image.
10.00	They are the proof that you have manipulated the image.
10.06	So lets look at the result.
10.09	It looks quite good.
10.11	And now the last step is Saving this image.
10.15	I will go to File and click on Save As and just change the original file extension ‘tif’ to ‘jpg’
10.29	and Click on the Save button.
10.32	I get a warning that the JPEG can't handle images with multiple layers. Ok. So we have to export them.
10.44	இந்த image க்கு 85% என்பது சிறந்த சரியான மதிப்பு என நினைக்கிறேன்.
10.53	இந்த image ஐ JPEG image ஆக இங்கே சேமித்துள்ளேன்.
11.01	இதை முழுத்திரையிலும் பார்க்கலாம்.
11.04	GIMPன் முதல் tutorial அவ்வளவுதான். பின்வரும் tutorialகளில், காணப்போவது GIMPஐ set up செய்வது, draw மற்றும் convert செய்வது tools மேலும் பல.
