| 00:23 | Welcome to Meet The GIMP. |
| 00:25 | 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. |
| 00:50 | 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. |
| 01:21 | 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. |
| 01:42 | 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. |
| 02:19 | 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/enter after typing. |
| 03:04 | So this image should be on the left side. |
| 03:08 | 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. |
| 04:16 | 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. |
| 04:33 | So now I select the left layer and move it a position the bottle. |
| 04:39 | 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. |
| 04:59 | 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 top left corner. |
| 05:38 | Now I pull the rulers down here for guidelines. |
| 05:43 | 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. |
| 06:34 | 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%. |
| 06:48 | 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. |
| 07:10 | Now I scale this image. |
| 07:14 | Now I have the frame to look where I want to place this image. |
| 07:21 | 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. |
| 08:07 | And just click on add. |
| 08:13 | So now i select a rectangle inside the borders here and fill the rectangle with white. |
| 08:23 | 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. |
| 08:36 | 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. |
| 09:13 | 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. |
| 09:28 | And the painting is irregular but it's ok. |
| 09:40 | Now I am selecting a different brush and I think this is better. |
| 09:49 | I get a fuzzy corner. |
| 09:52 | 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. |
| 10:16 | 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 sharpen in this image |
| 10:35 | You can check out that I am still working in the layer mask. |
| 10:41 | You can check it here. |
| 10:43 | The layer mask is selected with white here. |
| 10:47 | 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. |
| 11:10 | 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. |
| 11:39 | 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. |
| 11:54 | And i found out that i can do a new guide here and select the position numerically. |
| 12:03 | Its wonderful to have this options. |
| 12:08 | The GIMP has so many options that you cant remember all of them. |
| 12:14 | Go to View and de-select layer Boundry. |
| 12:18 | I want to have this bottle a bit more up into the corner. |
| 12:23 | 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. |
| 12:36 | But I think this bottel should go up there. |
| 12:41 | So i'll go out of full screen mode |
| 12:45 | I de-select the center and the right layer and concentrate on the left layer. |
| 12:54 | Now I need the rulers for guidance. |
| 12:58 | 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. |
| 13:49 | I want to move the layer. |
| 13:51 | So now i select the image and i just pull it up and the mask moves with it. |
| 13:58 | I found no way to lock the mask but I can correct that. |
| 14:04 | I select the layer mask and pull the layer mask back to my corner here. |
| 14:13 | 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. |
| 14:32 | 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. |
| 14:47 | 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. |
