I think that this request is equal parts how to move to GIMP from Photoshop, general editing principles, and project-specific needs - I'm hoping that you guys can help me figure out where I need to start. The bottom line is that I want to composite myself into a Norman Rockwell painting for my Christmas card, specifically "Man With Christmas Goose." The isolation of my own face and resizing/reshaping was easy enough - I tried to include what I have so far as an attachment. However, the texture and color are off with the painting. I'm guessing that I want to do some kind of a blur, but I was not expecting to be presented with so many different types of blur or variables for each of them. The skin tone in the painting also seems to be warmer than the photo and have a higher contrast, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to match that.

I've actually found a few tips for specifically getting a "Norman Rockwell" look with photos, but the directions seem to be Photoshop-specific. So now I'm trying to figure out whether I start by trying to adjust the texture first and how, trying to match the color, or trying to match the contrast, if those things can even be done separately. Should I be looking for tutorials on getting photos to look like paintings, on matching color and contrast in compositing, or something else entirely? Thanks, guys - I really appreciate any direction you can give me.

Hello,

I'm French I don't speak very well english. Please forgive me.

I have drawn somehting and then I scanned it.


I applied a threshold in The Gimp Software in order to get a black and white image.


That is not so bad. But I don't know how tu say it in English, lines are not perfect, there is a "sketched style". This style has a charm, but I would like ti have a result a litle more professional, more smooth, like the following exemple (I haven't done this one) :

If gimp or G'Mic-Qt are to difficult to use, one can always try the easy to handle software FotoSketscher to convert photo's into paintings: https://fotosketcher.com
   

I have a plugin to upload the current image as a PNG to imgur, copy the resulting link to the clipboard, and open a page in your browser with it for feedback (this last action can be commented out)

Set up is a bit contrived (you have to obtain an Imgur client id, install a python library, and the script is Linux only) so I won't document it if there are no takers.

So, anyone interested?

I would like to get the area of a photo "LIGHTER".
So I use "TOOLS", then "PAINTING TOOLS" and then "LIGHTEN/ DARKEN".

Since I have to zoom-in the photo to correctly "LIGHTEN" more precisely the given area ,
I have noticed that the circular "BRUSH TOOL" stays the same size.
Does anybody know how I can "REDUCE" this "BRUSH TOOL" size ?
And if there is another tool to LIGHTEN an image?

Thank you in advance.

A quickie to mass-replace font name and size in text layers, with some hopefully useful selection options for the target layers:

   

Bonjour à tous  ,

J'ai un fichier qui contient des dizaines de calques "texte" et je voudrai modifier les tailles des fonts toutes en même temps sinon c'est un boulot de dingue mais je n'ai pas trouvé comment faire. Donc si quelqu'un à une solution SVP ?
Merci.
Antoche.

Hello all!

I would like to do the following, see attached image:

• image 1 is the original, image 2 has a blue-ish color overlay: #00abb5
  
• I would like to reproduce the color overlay so I can create an image like #2.
  
• When I add a (normal) layer and use the paint bucket to fill it with color #00abb5 and play with the opacity %, the results are not what I am looking for.

Hello guys,

I would be grateful if you could clear these two doubts for me:

01- Is there any way to configure the Scale tool so that it accepts values such as W=100%, H=86.602% ?

I have a layer on which I try to apply this transformation, but when I type 86.602, in the Height field, it immediately adjusts to 86.73.


02- When using the Shear tool (shift+H) I can't work with values at angles.  

I would like to enter the offset angle of the X Axis, for example, in 30º, but this tool works with "magnitudes", whatever that means.

To get shear to figure at 30º I found an approximate value of magnitude between 98 and 112.

Is there any form/filter/plugin in Gimp that makes it possible to apply shear depending on the desired angle?

Grateful!

I have a photo with a lot of noise, mostly white, and I've tried "denoise" some of the blurs and everything "smooth" in GMIC, mostly to little or no result or heavy blurring. I seem to be stuck with years of hand-painting them in. Surely I am overlooking something?
