PHOTOMONTAGE

Image
Hello everyone! Welcome back to another silly post of this silly blog. As a lot of you remember, last time I showed you how to use some aspects of GIMP.  In one of the examples, we did sort of a photomontage where I showed you how to edit images on top of another image and making it look realistic. And this post is just to show another example of that!  However, this image is a bit different because I have also added a different sky by removing the previous one with the magic wand and eraser.  That's all there is to it fellas!  Stay tuned. 

PICTURE ELEMENTS

 Sometimes we look at a picture and wonder, how would it look like with this? How would it look like that? Well, in this post you will learn how to make it look exactly like that! So, let's start! Firstly, we will grab a photograph we may have in our gallery, in my case I have chosen a landscape of a lake in Canada (the rights to the picture aren't mine) When looking at it for the first time I though, how would it look like with a bird on top of that log? Or how would it look like with some ducks swimming? Or how would a slightly cloudy sky look in this picture? To do this we will be using transparent images, which you can easily find in google. In my case I will be using pictures of a heron, a duck, and some clouds.  To use them, you can copy them onto the picture, and add them to a new layer. Once you have done that, place them where you see fit and use the eraser tools to erase any little imperfections. After doing that with each picture, use the pencil with a dark color in

LAYERS

 Hello there you daredevils! And Merry Christmas, although I suppose it is a bit late for that. As promised, I'm bringing you some new stuff about the program GIMP which I talked about not so long ago, so without further ado, let's get into it.  This time in questions, we are going to work with the layer system GIMP and the history system the program has. Which allows us to access any changes we may have done, at any given time. To see this, we will be using some basic shapes, so boot up the program and let's do it! Firstly, we will look in our tool box for the circle tool, and with that we will create a circle in any color we want. After that, we will right click the layer with the circle and a selection of options will appear, and we will click the option ''New layer'' or simply using the shortcut that appears next to it will do, too. We'll click the no background option to create the layer and, after it's created, we will double click it and chang
