Intention GIMP 1.2 introduced a lot of new features that have been further improved in version 2.0, including the ability to use full color "pixmap brushes". In addition, you can also combine single frame pixmap brushes into a "image pipe". A GIMP Image Pipe allows you to spray out series of full color pixmaps. To make it more flexible, the order the images are painted onto the canvas can depend on direction, angle, speed, or other factors. This effect can be used in many ways, from a simple way to paint repeated images, or as sophisticated texture generation. Example 1 Taking a set of images and making a image pipe out of them is a common configuration.

GIMP versions older than 2.0 could not reload gih files (GIMP image pipes), so I include the source xcf images here. Image Pipes 2. Text and images Copyright (C) 2002 Sam Jones and may not be used without permission of the author.

What are image pipe and pixmap brushes? A pixmap brush is an image, with both shape and color, that gets drawn with one of the paint tools. The pencil draws the pixmap with a single click. The paintbrush does the same with some extra options. The airbrush allows you to do levels of transparency for the pixmap brush. An image pipe is a series of pixmap brushes combined into one, so that one or more of the pixmaps from the image pipe is drawn as you click or drag the mouse.

Intention Doesn't the title look really valuable? To reproduce this effect you need the incredible "Lighting"-Plugin, created by Tom Bech and Federico Mena Quintero.

Intention Meet Marius, my son. :) 1. High pass filtering High pass filtering means that we filter away the low frequencies of something, and let the high frequency bands pass. First, duplicate the layer. Then Gaussian Blur the top layer with an appropriate radius. You need to experiment to find good values, but roughly speaking one can say that the larger the radius, the wider the high pass filter's frequency response, and the "fatter" the lines in the final sketch. Now we have a low pass filtered version of our image; all gradients and no detail. Then, to blend the two, we adjust the Layer's Opacity slider to 50%, and our high pass filtered image appears; Now it's time to Merge the two layers, so that we can continue to process them as one.

Intention So, we want to create a nice paintbrush image with GIMP. This tutorial can be a bit complex and I think it is better for a bit more advanced GIMPer. If you want to learn the basics, a good way to do so is to get one of the many GIMP books written. If I must pick one to recommend, I think it would be Grokking The Gimp, it is pretty good. Step 1 Anyway, we start off with a plain gray image. Step 2 We first create a new transparent layer, and name it "tip" since we start drawing the brush from the brush tip. Step 3. Photo to sketch.

Intention Almost every desktop enviroment I've seen has a special application for creating icons, usually a very limited drawing application. In this short tutorial, we'll show you how GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) can help you create icons for your desktop. Before You Begin As with any new task, it will help to have a little background information: Filenames and Structure GIMP enables you to save compressed files and work with them transparently, using the .xcf format. Nautilus (gnome-vfs) can't yet handle compressed GIMP native files Choosing a Color Palette You may think palettes are only necessary in special cases like indexing colors of web images.

You may want to consider using a palette that already exists. If you prefer to create your own palette, it's best to just define the most basic colors. Getting Started. Using GAP. Text and images Copyright (C) 2002 Jakub Steiner and may not be used without permission of the author.

Intention GAP is an advanced tool to be able to create animations, this guide should give you some sort of view of how GAP works and what you can do with it. For a good tutorial of how to make an animation with GAP then take a look at the “Advanced Animation” tutorial.

Intention Welcome to the advanced GIMP animation tutorial. Here you'll learn how to use the GAP, GIMP animation package. It is very advanced, but the user interface might be confusing for some at first. That's why we'll start with a little theory before we move over to the practical part. The key function of the GAP is the move path dialog. Step 1 To make things easier, we'll start with a ready-to-go static image. Step 2.
