Chetan's blog: Photo to vector art. After a long time... another tutorial! Converting a photo into vector art. Using this method you can quickly and easily change a photo into vector art. Following is the final result of this tutorial: 1] Open the image in GIMP. 2] Use Filter | Blur | Gaussian Blur tool 2-3 times to smoothen the image. 3] Now use Colors | Posterize tool to reduce the number of colors. 4] Next thing we'll do is creating paths from these different colors. 5] If you see closely, at many places there are very thin selections made which we probably don't want in the final image. 6] The blurring causes very thin transparent regions to be filled, but they are still not completely filled. 7] Click again on the quick mask button to get back to normal mode. 8] Select | To path tool will create a path using the selection, i.e. a path representing whole black region. 9] Do the same steps to create paths for all five colors, and rename the paths to 1,2,3,4,5. 12] Do the same thing for other .svg files. [15] Done!
How They Did It - Shyness by Alin Petrus. Click here for the original photo. This incredibly creative photo was taken by the talented Alin Petrus, and if you like this shot I highly recommend checking out his other works on his Alin's 1x website. The shadow in this photo could be created using gimp. To do this, it would take a little effort with shooting for the edits, and an understanding of layer masks and layer modes.
Here are the steps that I would take to do this: Take the photo of the girl holding the rose. Take the photo of the boy on a white background so he is easy to remove from the background. Now, remove the boy from the background much like I removed my own face in the beginning of this gimp zombie tutorial. Now that you have isolated the child from the image, we're going to use his shape as a silhouette for an all black background on the image with the girl. On your girl image, Insert the image of the black on white boy. Now click "grayscale copy of layer, and then click colors>>>invert to invert the layer mask. Emulación de efecto HDR (Gimp)

I remember when I was young when I would build dioramas for school projects and for fun. They were always amazing to me because it was like having my own little town where I could control anything that went on.
I found a Photoshop tutorial by Don Engel from psdtuts+ that shows you how to create a diorama illusion using almost any photo and I thought, well, wouldn't that make a great Gimp tutorial? And here it is. The original tutorial has a lot of explanation on what makes a good photo for this type of work, details that can make or break the effect, lighting, color, depth perception, etc that I won't be explaining here. Step 1 First, I would like to start with a landscape image, as in the original tutorial. Let's select a focal point for our image. Step 2 Go to Colors > Curves. Step 3 Download this Color Vibrance script.
Go to Filters > Eg > Color Vibrance. 1st Image Final Now we'll try the same effect with a photo of some very detailed aircraft. Go to Select > Feather. 2nd Image Final.
