I think now you have to use zoom motion blur.
keep it up .. your tutorials are very awesome❣
tnx nick you got me into gimp a while ago i left it a bit but now i am getting back into it tnx for the vids. and i might give inkscape a go as well
I was about to give up on GIMP altogether. Then I found this video. Thank you!
Thanks, Nick Much appreciated
Incredible. More like this. Would love to see features not often used.
Great tutorial!!!!
Thank you for the content. exactly what i need
Nick that is harder than i thought it would be thank you
The best video 💗💗
Great video!
Thanks for this!!
Thanks Nick for a great tutorial. I was requesting if you can do a tutorial on creating flyers
beautiful
second thumbs up. :> You just gave me great idea on how to change text color or modify it without changing text itself. I know it sounds confusing but hey it works. :D
You is the best
WHo is still excited of these videos in this year? xd
Thank you.
Hey Nick. Thanks for great videos. I see that you offer a course on Inkscape, just wondering if you have the same for Gimp? And, in your opinion, which software is your preference please? Gimp or Inkscape?
I have been watching your Inkscape tutorials for a while now and I just have to ask... What is your design process? How do you come up with some of these designs, and know which elements to use to create what you want to create?
All hail our new lord and savior Nick!
Dang, thanks

Hello Nick! Love your videos. I am using GIMP 2.10.10 and they seemed to have changed how Blur works. They now have three separate Motion blur selections instead of the one but that is easy enough to manage. However, when you click on Zoom Motion Blur it doesn't seem to be in pixels, so X:640 Y:360 don't seem to be possible. Also blur factors is what it says now instead of blur parameters so the length isn't accurate. I am really new to all of this and any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

If I understand the new zoom blur correctly, the automated numbers of 0,500 for x and y place the start of the burst exactly in the middle of the page. So instead of using pixels, it seems to be like a percentage with 0,500 being the same as 50% aka the center of the page, so by leaving it at those start values you get the same effect as Nick is getting when he enters the pixels. I hope it helps

in 6:40, why you add some red to it and then using the addition slayer mode ?
Blur is so different I cant make it look anything like yours. Using newest gimp 2.10.20
No motion blur control on Mac version of GIMP :-(
It hangs on kali linux v.2018 live persistence at the middle of process..... Some says it still unstable!!!!!
Hello Nick Is there a way to get the 'blur outward' back in Gimp 2.10? Or maybe an other trick to get the same results? Tnx

@steefbuis You gotta mess with the "blurring factor" on the Zoom Motion Blur filter. The motion blur filter is still the same, they just separated its three modes: circular, linear, and circular (now radial, same meaning) into three different filters rather than modes of one filter. The guy in the video has it on zoom mode, so you can just use zoom motion blur on 2.10. As I said before, you gotta mess with "blurring factor" while using Zoom Motion Blur to get something similar to this result; that's all you need!
Can I use this with images?
Should I update gimp to the newest version or should I stay with my current version (2.8)

maybe you just need to find the same tool, i mean just try all of it :/ sorry i've retired from gimp lol
How can you zoom and un-zoom without a mouse wheel? In Paint.net, it was control + and control -. Also, if you also know Paint.net, I would recommend someone make a tutorial on how to use Gimp for Paint.net users. A lot of the beginner Gimp tutorials explain stuff like layers that I know from Paint.net or people know from Photoshop. It would be nice if someone explained how to do it in Gimp without explaining stuff like that that many people already know.

You can't do this on later versions, the blur doesn't look as good. You can't get the burst effect, it ends up looking like the 'Superman' text.

Um, u rlly need to update these videos cause gimp is different now and therefore i cannot follow the instructions or i do the same thing that u did but something different happens. For example, now in the zoom motion blur filter, theres no option to blur outward anymore therefore i cannot replicate the blur effect that u did.
is gimp better than inkscape?
@Ruisu101

For this project, yes. In general, neither bests the other. GIMP is manipulation software primarily meant to serve as a freeware alternative to Photoshop, whereas Inkscape is primarily vector creation/manipulation software akin to Serif Drawplus, for example. A true vector image is a layered image that doesn't lose quality regardless of its scaling. In an application like Inkscape, a vector may be resized, tweaked and/or exported to virtually any dimensions specified. An image created or manipulated in GIMP, once exported, can be resized, but it will lose quality depending on the resizing procedure; i.e, it'll look compressed if it's shrunk, and blurred and pixelated if it's grown. Some pieces can be created in either GIMP or Inkscape, but the steps taken to the end point of each instance will determine which application is better suited to the job. That said, you wouldn't want to try and tweak a true vector image in GIMP, and you wouldn't want to paint a picture from scratch (with a graphics tablet, for example) in Inkscape. If you wanted to make minor edits to a photograph, you'd use GIMP, if you wanted to make a resizable but dimension-specific logo, you'd choose Inkscape.

The latest version of GIMP has three different types of motion blur. Go Filters>Blur and then you can go Linear Motion Blur, Circular Motion Blur, or Zoom Motion Blur. I left the X and Y at .5 and just adjusted the Blurring Factor. Give that a try.
