| 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 layer 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 hide all the layers & white helps show all the layers. |
| 02:58 | And these other options I’ll 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 | 1st 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 finish painting the whole ship with a gray layer. |
| 07:05 | And I’ll 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 infront 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 a 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’s 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 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 lets 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 ofcourse 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 that 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 andI 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 multiplied 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’ll 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 balck to full white. |
| 18:13 | I repeat this one more time, |
| 18:24 | Choosing the blent 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. |
