Gimp: Additional Practice

(Before) This picture has a lady's arm to the right and a white object that should not be in the image.

(After) I used the clone tool over the lady arm and to give

the little a bottom half. I also used the select tool to copy a hand and placed it on another little girl. I then cropped the image and added a black border. The last tool I used was the Text tool .

PART 1: READ Chapter 2 in the GIMP book, then:

1. Answer all questions below, briefly but completely.
2. Change the color of the answer to BLUE.
3. Copy this information and paste in a new post in your DIGITAL GRAPHICS blog.

1.      What is the purpose of the DODGE tool (part of the DODGE/BURN tool) lets you choose between three modes: shadows, midtones, hinglights.(makes areas lighter.

2.      What is the purpose of the BURN tool (part of the DODGE/BURN tool) makes light areas darker.

3.      Why is the DODGE/u drag around BURN tool considered a drawing tool? Because it uses a brush and lets you drags around the image.

4.      What is the purpose of the SMUDGE tool? It away to get rid of simple problems by smudging it out which picks up the color underneath

5.      Briefly explain you get the CLONE to work: You hold down the ctrl key as you click on the area to be cloned the start to cover up the area not wanted. Continuing to clone as need.

6.      What is the purpose of the HEAL tool? Combines the texture from the source layer with color and lighting of the destination layer

7.      What is the purpose of the PERSPECTIVE CLONE tool? Makes the clone angle to show perspective once the mode is set.

8.      Briefly explain the two purposes of the CONVOLVE tool: it’s a blur/sharpen tool lets you change small regions of an image just by dragging over them. The more you go over an area the more it will blur or sharpen.

9.      What is the purpose of the GAUSSIAN BLUR filter? (NOTE: This is a FILTER, not a TOOL). It blurs the area that is selected.

10.  Which tool would be the appropriate tool to get rid of wrinkles on someone’s face? Clone

Gimp: Sailing Image

I selected the bottom portion with the select tool and then used gradient. Then i used the Ellipse select tool to make the sun half of it off the gradient. I deleted the portion that was not on the gradient with the rectangle tool. I made a copy and flipped it. The I selected the top portion add a different gradient used the airbrush with white and then smudge it in. The word I used text tool

The boat image was duplicated so to make the shadow it was flipped it and opacity was changed to 45

Gimp: Web Banners

Each banner  is 760px X 100px. I used different gradients. I placed a cropped images that had been feathered. I used the text tool with filters.

Gimp: Create a Film Strip Using Filters

 Both Film Strips were made the same. The first thing i did to both parrot and flower images was to crop them to 300 pixels wide. Once i did that i used different filter on each image and saved as a jpg.

Once i finished doing the filters i opened all of the parrot images. When all image are opened i when to filters menu, choose Combine, then Film Strip. I did the same for the Flower Film Strip

Gimp: Draw a Simple Tree

I created the image using a transparent background and then used different brush tools to make the tree. For the leaves i did a small cluster of leave which i then copied and flipped to the other side of the tree trunk. I then marge the images down.

I started with a layer of  760 px by 100px. I then picked a gradient. i then placed the trees on a new layer. I also add the word using the text tool

Gimp: Wish You Were Here!

I started with six different images, two of them are Famous People: Sarah Jessica Parker and Johnny Depp. The other picture are two animals a Fennec Desert Fox , Desert Wolf , the Great Pyramids, and a picture of my self.



For the people and animals i used selected tool and copied each and placed it on the Great Pyramids image.


As i paste each layer of person or animals i  add a shadow using Filters-->Light and shadows -->Perspective and angled as need.

For the word i used the text tool Filters--> Light and Shadows --> Drop Shadow

GIMP: Chapter 7: Filters and Effects

PART 1: READ Chapter 2 in the GIMP book, then:

1. Answer all questions below, briefly but completely.
2. Change the color of the answer to BLUE.
3. Copy this information and paste in a new post in your DIGITAL GRAPHICS blog.

NOTE Regarding the Xtns menu: In Chapter 7, the author discusses the difference between FILTERS and EXTENSIONS found in the Xtns menu. The Xtns menu does not exist in GIMP any longer; the items have been moved to other menus.

1.      What is a filter? Is a general term for anything that can operate on an existing image

2.      What is the difference between a TOOL and a PLUGI-N? tools can respond to clicks in the image window. PLUGI-N can only make adjustment within the plug-in's own dialog.

3.      What is the purpose of motion blur? Makes a blur in only one direction, given an impression of movement.

4.      Briefly describe the purpose of the following ENHANCE filters: ·         Antialias looks for jagged edges and tries to make them look smoother. ·         Despeckle is used to remove small elements of “noise” from an image. ·         Destripe removes vertical limes that are left by some older scanners. ·         NL Filter Is a combination of smoothing,  despeckle, and sharpen in one filter.

5.      Briefly describe the purpose of the following  DISTORT filters: ·         Blinds makes it look like your image is painted on venetian blinds, and you’re adjusting the angle of  those blinds. ·         Curve Bend is useful for changing the shape of nearly any layer. ·         Engrave creates the black and white engraved look that you sometimes see in old illustrations. ·         IWarp (Interactive Warp Filter) let you change the images giving it deformities.

6.      Briefly describe the purpose of the following  filters: ·         Polar Coords wraps an image around a point at the top or bottom center. ·         Ripple makes an image look as though it’s being viewed through water waves. ·         Lens Flare is a way of putting a bright flare of light into the image. ·         Supernovais similar to Lens Flare but it makes flares with spike of rays. ·         Drop Shadow makes a shadow tilted at an angle to show perspective. ·         Glass Tile makes the image look like it’s been view through a wall made of many glass bricks, each of which refracts light a little differently,

7.      Describe various ways the EDGE filters are used in GIMP: Difference of gaussian, Edge, Neon, Laplace

8.      What does the FILMSTRIP filter do? Combines the layers in the image into a single image that looks like a strip of 35 mm film

9.      List and describe 5 filters found in the ARTISTIC filters group: a. Apply Canvas  gives a canvas-like texture to the image b. Cartoon simplifies colors and adds black outlines near edges with intent of making a picture look like a hand-drawn in inked cartoon. c. Predator turns image into something that should remind you of a video game of the 80’s. d. Softglow gives a “bathed in light” impression. e. Weave gives an effect that the image has been woven onto a basket.

10.  What does the FRACTAL EXPLORER do? It makes fractal patterns.

11.    What does ALPHA TO LOGO do? It creates interesting effects from a text layer.

PART 2: GIMP PROJECTS: Be sure to save these images in your GIMP folder before inserting them in this document.

1.      WARP text: 1.      Create a new GIMP image that is 600  X 400. 2.      Use the paintbrush, gradients, etc. to create a lovely background. 3.      Click on the text tool (letter A), and change the font, color (to coordinate with the background), change the size to fairly large (at least 200). 4.      Type your first name in the text box (this creates a new layer with your name on it). 5.      Warp the text: Make sure you are on the text layer. Now: FILTERSàDISTORTSàBEND CURVE. Drag the base line up/down to make it wavy. Click on PREVIEW ONCE to see the text distorted. When the text is distorted the way you want, click OK. 6.      You can also add a Drop Shadow if you like: FILTERSàLIGHT AND SHADOWàDROP SHADOW. 7.      Crop the image if needed, then save the image. 8.      Insert your warped name image here:

2.      Filter Car Image: 1.      Go to the web site for this book: http://gimpbook.com 2.      Look through the menus on the left to see the supplemental information provided for you about the book. 3.      Click on the PHOTOS FROM THE BOOK link, and scroll down to see the images for Chapter 2. 4.      Download and save the red car image from Chapter 7 (or get a car image from Google that you like) 5.      Try at least TEN different filters on the car image. Try to make the images as different and interesting you can.  Save each version with an appropriate name. 6.      Insert the 10 filtered car images here:
