Good video

GIMP is best

Just want to say thank you! I almost gave up trying to learn how to edit photos in GIMP, then Voila your video pops up on my FYP. Appreciate your time and effort.

Fantastic. Thank you!

Gonna use these tips for my new online dating profile, thanks!!

Great Tutorial - Subscribed - thanks for sharing knowledge :)

This is still very useful, thanks man.

Thanks for this ❤️

This is some great stuff thanks

Great info, appreciate you.

OMG U SAVED MY LIFE

Second Tutorial I did through you and man as hard as Graphic Design is to pick it up I must compliment you on how well you direct a tutorial and your voice is so positive and upbeat it took away a lot of the stress while following along.

"How well" he directs...? The man doesn't have a good voice already and keeps "dancing" with the cursor....😂 And also speaks too fast.

Thank you bro 💜

It would be better to have shorter videos focused on one single photo enhancement technique, and explaining why and when to use that technique.

I'm ultra beginner to gimp but I can tell you the easiest thing to accomplish everything what he did cheaply is just gently increase saturation.

Thank you very for the video,I learnt something new from this video and I practiced it along the video!!

Thank you for this. The first retouch I did doesn't look the best but I'll keep practicing it.

I'm getting stuck. 1. After creating the layer mask, I click on the background thumbnail and edit curves. Nothing Happens but I see thumbnail face has changed. I undo. Can't seem to edit background. 2. I click the bottom corner "create quick mask" It's not kinda see through like the video, mine is non see-through and only on the outside of my subject mask. Any ideas what I've done wrong?

Very informative. I've not used GIMP yet, so this was a helpful video to get my brain working.

The new update is awesome !

Hi, I notice you usually combine Darktable with GIMP to (I presume) make a complete photo editing / manipulation suite. Just wondering if that approach would work as well with RAW Therapee instead of Darktable. Or would I be losing out on something important. Thanks.

the layer mask confused me but I still understood the concept. Great tutorial

on 7:33 I tried going to red but all the colors wouldn't let me click on them just the value whys that?

Hi amazing video ! Thank you so much! will you please explain what the HUE and SATURATION layers are for while adding contrast mask? what do they do? You do not touch them after making them , hence asking!

Thank you for these great tutorials, they are awesome! Sometimes it's difficult for me to see the effects of the single steps - it would help me, if you could either explain the effect a little bit more or if you would overdue them a little bit to make the effect more visible. E.g. I could not see any change in the picture when you worked with the layer modes hue and saturation.

Thanks for your effort. Unfortunately I do not see a huge difference between before and after.

Some tools are not working in 2.10 Do next video with higher version

I'm having issues with the brush. It just stays in the recover with showing what section is brushed. I'm not sure if I missed or messed up a step.

Hi! Does gimp have activity recording to where you record a sequence and play it back so I can repeat that sequence for every photo?

HI Michael I shoot Raw so do a lot of my processing in darktable, I'm guessing I wont need to do a lot of this afterwards?

Selecting modes at 6:12 I don't have different modes there. How do i get them there (Gimp 2.10) thanks

Is it possible to remove objects and paint in ? For use of painting composition work?

The final result looked a little unnatural, specially because of the artificial exposure on the darker areas of the model.

Unfortunately you did not really show where your mouse icon was when telling us what icon you were using and when I could follow it you were moving over several and I lost track.

At what part? I'm happy to clarify if I can.

Thanks for the tutorial, maybe to help make these easier to make your cursor bigger and to make slower mouse movements. I just slowed down the video to .75 and it helped alot for everyone yet to use this tutorial. Took me several hours. But i can at least say after this video i have learned a lot. Just takes some time and getting a sense for it. Good luck everyone!

my query is ,with Gimp 2.80 you are able to scan an image prior to editing ,but with Gimp 2.10 there does not seem to be a method of obtaining an image via the scanner to be edited

Tough program 😊 right

Thank you for the video, it helped a lot! I only have the problem that when I for example change something in color balance and then press OK, the next time I open it, everything is back to zero (while the picture is clearly edited), so I cant reset stuff (except ctrl Z). Any ideas how to fix that?

Have you tried exporting the image or saving it before you quit GIMP ... Sometimes the solution can really be basic...

Hi...how I apply the same editing to multi photos at the same time for for example time lapse

Video starts at 1:03. No problem.

how are you so good with the free select tool? i thought it was new magnet select feature

Is it possible to "uninvert" an allready existing layermask ?

My tools option tab blocks my file tab? I cannot save:/

How to remove noise from images? Plz reply if possible.

Gave 2hr to try to edit but can't. It's really really deficult.

So since you removed the subject, what was the purpose of adjusting the entire picture before hand? as i just started gimp, iam always one to ask questions as to why? or what was the purpose lol

I am struggling. I followed this tutorial several times. On the second section when I try to fill in the skin tone layer, it only works for me about 20% of the time. O can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have even gone back and made sure I have followed each step. What can I do?

Although much of this is beyond my knowledge set, you explain it so clearly that it helps me learn something new afterwards... keeping notes and pausing makes it much more productive. Also, there's always room to explain more but you do much more than most to show/tell what it's about-- thanks. Nice job and many thanks for offering these.

What to do if the eyes are not fully open wide??? Other than that, killer tutorial, as I started playing with the 'Colors' options due to your tips. Thank You!

hi this is just what i needed thank you, I'm looking to sell the same image to a potential customer. just wanted to ask you am I best saving the images to PNG or JPG?

Well if going for enhancement before creating such things as twitch emotes or other stuff, doing the outlining/dragging doesn't seem to be easy or maybe as easy to do on a TouchScreen Mousepad of a laptop in using gimp whether its the 2.8 version or earlier versions, it seems like it anyways on mine. Anyone else thinks so??

It would really help if you explain what you're doing and why you're doing it.

selection becomes really hard when i don't have mouse.

You just need to change the mode under the Tool Options for the lasso tool to "Add to the Current Selection."

Hi the video is a little fast, how do I set the mode to replace the current selection, I cant find it, really appreciated

When you have the tool selected, it is under the "Tool Options" (underneath the tools in the toolbox). At the top of the Tool Options you'll see something called "Mode." There are 4 mode options - the first one is Replace the Current Selection.

You may just need to click on the original layer and NOT on the layer mask.

Just discovered this tool and I have a question: I have some photo images that are in JPEG format. I want to be able to FLIP some of these images, as they are in the wrong orientation. I literally just downloaded GIMP and while I am able to flip image and make other color modifications, I am having a problem saving the modified file as a JPEG. It does not accept my changes. I am sure that this is probably a basic error, or a misunderstanding of the file types that are unique to GIMP. That being said - is there a simple way to do this with GIMP? Thanks!

@DaviesMediaDesign

6 жыл бұрын

I'm not quite sure what you mean - but are you saving the file as a JPEG file? JPEG files will always save the background as long as the background layer isn't hidden before you save. If you are saving the file as a PNG or GIF with the background layer hidden, it won't save your background.

Yes, I am trying to save as a JPEG. After you select the girl in the photo and edit the background, the edited background isnt saving, but the subject of the photo is staying edited into the save. I did nothing more than you did one the tutorial, I followed step by step, but it's just not saving the background layer. I tried starting all over, and redoing the photo edit, but it keeps giving me the same thing.

You can go to File>Export As to save it as a JPEG, which will save the background layer.

Great video but definitely not beginner friendly. Too fast (yes I rewinded a thousand times) and not explaining the tools use

the skin tone looks kind of flat in the end, but thanks for the video, helped me a lot. now we don't want to say too many compliments to avoid it looking artificial :)
