Clocks & Bolts!

 Welcome back, to another one of those silly little guides you guys adore. I decided that I wanted to make a photomontage of a place that I hold very dear to me. For this project, I have used a picture of that place and some magic to make it look different. As you can see, a very good angle of a very memorable place to me.  Firstly, I have filled the left wall with art pieces from one of my favourite artists called Ni Zan (you can fin his works here ) and if you want, you can click here if you wanna know more about him. I also added some of his works on the other side of the glass panels behind the bench. And lastly, I have added three graffitis, one with my name next to the bench, one with my online name on the roof's wall, and one all around the pilar on the right.  I lowered the opacity to make it seem more believable, added some shadows and lightning. And there you have it!

 We're back on the game fellas! And guess what, it's yet another day using GIMP. As you all know we previously did a photomontage where I showed all of you how to crop images together and make it look realistic. Today's exercise is quite the change, because I'm going to teach you how to do those cool grayscale photos where a single, vibrant colour is visible. Take as an example the picture below. As you can see, a very beautiful picture indeed. And if you haven't guessed by now, red's the most vibrant color there is. So, we will be creating a a grayscale of the whole image, in a copy of the image. That way, we will still have the picture below with the photo's original colors. Now, the next step ca be done by hand, or we can use the magic wand to select everything that's red, in my case I did by hand. We have to erase those parts from the grayscale image, so it will reveal the red color underneath. Add an inspiring frase, and just like that, voila! I be
