Tutorial #84 - This: to this: using Gimp. Translatable.

Open and prep image/base (crop, scale, etc). I'm using a semi-low quality image from The Man From Snowy River.

The thing about using low quality images is that while they usually need a lot of coloring to make them look good, too much coloring can actually make the image look worse than it did before, so you have to be careful not to overdo it.

I duplicated my base layer and set it to Multiply at 75%. Then I merged it down. This made the colors in the sky stand out more, and made the silhouettes more dramatic. It also made the text on the image stand out like a sore thumb (I think the image was scanned from the back of a cd case or something, hence the text.), so I then smudged and blurred the whole sky (except for the clouds).


I added some textures next...
set it to Soft Light at 100%.
set to Soft Light at 100%.
set to Soft Light at 75%.
set to Soft Light at 100%.
set to Lighten Only at 100%.
set to Soft Light at 100%.
set to Soft Light at 50%.
set to Grain Extract at 100%. Duplicate that texture and set it to Grain Merge at 100%.

Flatten your image.

Lots of textures there, but they helped me to control the lighting and coloring of my icon without actually altering the image coloring. With low quality images, that is a must!

I went to Colors>Components>Channel Mixer and input these settings...
Red: 100, -5, -5.
Green: +5, 95, 0.
Blue: -5, 0, 110.
With Preserve Luminosity checked.

This made the coloring slightly more vibrant.
After that I sharpened my image just a bit.


And as a final touch, I added a few more textures...

set to Screen at 100%.
set to Screen at 100%.
set to Screen at 100%.

... and that was it!


I hope this tutorial was somewhat helpful!

The majority of the textures in this tutorial were edited by me, but I did not make them, and cannot take credit for them.

VFK's sixth tutorial in GIMP 2.6

How to go from this: to this:

1: Take your base, duplicate it, colors>auto>white balance. Set to Screen at 100% opacity.
2: Flatten.
3: Duplicate base again, set to screen at 30% opacity.
4: Flatten.



5: Duplicate base AGAIN and go to colors>components> channel mixer and insert these settings.
Output channel:Red
Red: 120
Green: -10
Blue:20
Output Channel: Green
Red:-20
Green:120
Blue:10
Output Channel : Blue
Red:-20
Green:30
Blue:170
Check preserve Luminosity and click "ok".
Set that layer to soft light at 50%.

6: Flatten.



Now we're going to add a texture:

7: Add this one by me: flip it horizontally and set it to soft light at 50% opacity.
Flatten.

8: Now you're going to duplicate the base layer and desaturate and invert it. Set that layer to overlay at 100%

9: Flatten.

10: Now, add a new transparent layer. (ctrl+shift+n) and zoom in heavily on your image. Specifically on her eyes. Using the color 0773b1 and a very small brush, paint over the iris' of her eyes. Set this transparent layer with the blue paint to color at 60% opacity. Her eyes are blue now

11: Now we're almost done. Make a new transparent layer and put a big fuzzy white dot in the middle of the image. Go to filters>blur>gausian blur and blur it with a radius of 69. Set it to screen at 50%.



12: Flatten

13: Last step I promise. Duplicate your base layer and go to colors> levels and input these settings.
Value Channel:
Input Levels: 3, 1.14, 242
Output Levels: 0, 247
Red Channel:
Input Levels: 47, 1.25, 255
Output Levels: 35, 232
Green Channel:
Input Levels: 25, 1.23, 248
Output Levels: 11, 239
Blue Channel:
Input Levels: 0, 1.83, 232
Output Levels: 100, 160

Click okay.

Set it to screen at thirty percent.

Then I added one last texture which is optional, , blurred it as much as I possible could with the blur tool in the toolbox, rotated it ninety degrees to the right and set it on multiply at 20% ^_^.

You're done.



Go ahead and add anything anything you want, please don't copy exactly. Hope you had fun, I know I did ^_^

The only other thing I did was add text. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

Tutorial #86 - This: to this: using Gimp. Translatable.
Requested by lover of narnia.

Open and prep image/base (crop, scale, etc.).

Go to Colors>Color Balance and input these settings...
Shadows: +10, +5, +5.
Midtones: +15, -10, -25.
Highlights: -5, +5, +5.
Preserve Luminosity unchecked.
Click okay.


Go to Colors>Components>Channel Mixer and input these settings...
Red: 100, -5, -5.
Green: -5, 105, +5.
Blue: -50, +85, +90.
With Preserve Luminosity checked.


Duplicate that layer, and go back to Channel Mixer again. Don't change any of the settings, just uncheck Preserve Luminosity. Lower the opacity of that layer to 35%.
Now, duplicate that layer (the one you just did the second channel mixer on) and set it on Screen at 25%. Add a layer mask, and copy and paste the background layer into it. Invert the layer mask (Colors>Invert).
Duplicate that layer (the one with the layer mask) and set it on Soft Light at 25%.
Duplicate that layer one more time (the layer mask one again), and set it on Screen at 100%.

Flatten your image.


Go to Colors>Levels, and input these settings...
Value: 25, 1.25, 250 | 0, 245.
Red: 0, 1, 245 | 0, 255.
Green: 0, 1, 240 | 0, 245.
Blue: 0, 1, 235 | 0, 245.

Click okay.

Go to Colors>Hue-Saturation and input these settings...
Master: 0, 0, +50.
Red: -2, 0, -15.
Blue: -15, 0, +50.

Click okay.


If you have more than one layer, flatten your image.
At this point, I did some smudging and cloning and took out the watermark, as well as sharpened the image and lightly blurred her skin. I also blurred the background.


Duplicate your base and set it to Screen at 25%. Add a layer mask, and copy and paste the background layer into it. Invert the layer mask (Colors>Invert).
Add this: set to Soft Light at 25%.
Add this: set to Soft Light at 100%.

Flatten your image.

At this point, I did a little bit more Hue-Saturation, and added a couple smokey/lighten textures to give it a bit more something. I ended up with this...


Add whatever else you want! You're done!
Results may vary.
