jersey swap

[joshfann43]

I am big into doing sports edits and I want to swap jerseys, so like put a jersey on the player that he isn't wearing but it looks like he is (or switch the clothes a person is wearing). Can you do this on gimp? if so, someone pls give me the breakdown.

This is the image from the old .com forum:

The way I see it:

Make a selection on the blue jersey.
Then use Colours > Colourise to change the blue to brown.
Adjust the shade of brown as required.

Create new transparent layers above the jersey.
Use paint tools to paint in white and orange trim, etc

Not quick, requires a lot of patience.

Had a search last night and the image you referenced is very common. Some youtube video that I did not look at.

There will be several ways to make a simple colour change. None of them are beginner click-n-wish.

As an example. you can do this



Make some accurate selections - shirt - helmet - anything else you want to change.
(hint - save the selections as channels for use later on)
Desaturate the selected areas to create a suitable base layer preserving any shading.
Create coloured layers with layer masks.
The Mode of these layers will alter the colour so experiment with alternative modes.

That gets a simple colour change. If you need to change any details such as numbers, logo's ... then it comes down to your artistic ability.

that example for you to play with: http://www.mediafire.com/file/69ev1j3cju...ayer.xcfgz

That image is very small, 330x500 -ish. A larger image is easier to work on.

and when you mention changing logos and stuff and that comes down to artistic ability, like what are the tools i need to use to do that?

To make any changes you obviously need to try and make it realistic. So you need to know something about perspective and shading for a start.

Parts of the original, say the numbers, can be cloned out
https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-clone.html

But you need to keep those important folds and creases and their shading, and each image is different.

A suitable logo can be planted as a layer on top and deformed with various tools, maybe
iwarp https://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-iwarp.html
or using part of that desaturated layer as a displacement map https://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-displace.html

None of this is very easy for a beginner.

Text on the helmet for example can be bent to shape using the curve bend tool
https://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-curve-bend.html

Back to needing some artistic ability, of which I am sadly lacking.



You do really need a larger image to work with.
