  Motorcycle scene with motion blur
Posted by: inkdolls - 09-30-2024, 02:07 AM - Forum: Gallery - Replies (5)

Old digital painting made with Gimp yes, paint brush and lots of smudge tool all around.
   
I used the motion blur filter with zoom mode just for fun and added quite a dynamic effect.
   
Since Gimp can't know the supposed depth of the scene, the blurring occurs evenly on all the background and that doesn't look convincing. I edited the alpha channel's mask to blend the static background a bit using the smudge tool. It was just a quick edit that could use some work, but oh well...

  Noob needs help plz

Hello,

Not an artist.  Please use layman's terms if you're kind enough to reply.

I'd like to make an empty box like the attached, but balanced.  I can't seem to figure it out.

Suggestions?


Thank you,

  android phone and photos
Posted by: oui - 09-29-2024, 10:17 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (4)

I am using portable phone only to phone and shoot photos, nothing more because my bad eyes don't like the little screens and bad keyboards. Until now I did use a very old portable phone for old peoples with big keys, cam but very little screen. It was possible to connect it directly with linux per USB cable and use it as memory card reader, a very comfortable way also to accede to the photos or files. But the back wall of the battery was part of the box of the phone. In the last time, it was not possible to continue to use that "phonausor" because of any power of the battery was loose and no way to find a new fresh one... As in Germany where I live, (old) new tablets with android 10..12 are offered very cheap, I did buy one small one as phone and a 10" tablet (with high resolution screen) one as my future tool to process photos, picture and maps.

So I am dependent from tablets (it is completely new for me) or laptop screens to do the rest.

But the first problem for me is to transmit the shoot photos to large 10" tablett alt. to my old linux laptop (it is preferable as I actually discover and not really know the android app's and tools).

I did connect an USB cable. Nothing to do: no communication turned on or turned off (the old portable phone did have to be turned off to be only some kind of memory card reader!).

I did find at "akp pure" in android (as I prefer to avoid the services from google) 2 "gimp-s". a small one and a very large one (not very good for the portable phone tablet having a small memory capacity).

The commands of the small gimp (for the phone! For the large tablet 10" I will in the future install the big "gimp" for android, of course!) are totally different from those in linux, and not evident! For ex. save the actual stage of the transformation of the original photo (as a different doc to don't alter the original, of cours!). No Alt-S ... But the app claims to save. And no save function (preserving or not) in the very small menu!

What would be the best succession of commands to make out the large original photos very little ones to, for ex., publish in forum threads etc.?

How to transmit the photos from Android to Linux (of course each on a separate tablet/PC)?

Is there no handbook for android app's, espec. for gimp mini or gimp full for Android?

  Editing text after complete
Posted by: snowforest - 09-29-2024, 09:25 AM - Forum: General questions - Replies (1)

Can i edit the text which is already done and rotated and moved? Or once a text is done it can no longer be edited?

Edit: I just found out, we can. I just press the text tool again when i am on that  layer. (Couldn't delete my question so writing solution instead)

  removing tricky backgrounds ?
Posted by: rf4f4rr4rf4 - 09-28-2024, 10:12 PM - Forum: General questions - Replies (3)

Usually the 'color to alpha' or the fuzzy select tool work, but sometimes I cannot use those because of the similar values to the object and background, is there a tool I am missing?


As you can see the fuzzy select tool bleeds into the object Im trying to cut out.

  Glitch art : weird or not?
Posted by: denzjos - 09-27-2024, 05:44 PM - Forum: Watercooler - Replies (1)

Glitch art takes temporary pixelations, interruptions and glitches and turns them into visually arresting pieces, questioning the forms and traditions of art using digital techniques.

  LUT's - lookup tables : load, or make, and use
Posted by: denzjos - 09-25-2024, 05:52 PM - Forum: Tutorials and tips - No Replies

It is easy to correct or change the colours from a set of pictures with LUT's.
What are LUT's or 'lookup tables', some information: https://nofilmschool.com/what-is-a-LUT
Free LUT's, one of the many free sites to download LUT's  : https://freshluts.com (register and download or post)
Can one make LUT's? Yes, with G'Mic-Qt. 
- load a picture and make a layer copy
- make a new layer and correct or change the colors in the layer copy
- use G'Mic-Qt / Colors / CLUT from After - Before Layers
- set the 'Output Mode': Save CLUT as cube or pngFile (use cube)
- fill in 'Output Folder' (make a folder where you put all your 'cube' files) 
- fill in 'Output Name'  (a name that clarified what the LUT does - better for later use)
- click on the 'OK' button
The LUT can now be used for other pictures.
- load a picture
- G'Mic-Qt / Colors / Apply External CLUT
- choose the 'HaldCLUT Filename (folder where you saved the cube file)
- done
Example (I used a LUT I made before from another corrected photo)
   
The Lut I used (cube file compressed):
