How do I get two one of the pictures black, while still having the other one coloured?

Thank you for explaining this quickly and not talking about bullcrap for 20 mins to get the same info across.

This is exactly what I was looking for!! Quick, simply stated, and clearly demonstrated. Thank you!!!

Thank you for the clear explanation and the difference between the two layer masks - really helpful. Cheers Rick

Thank you. I now FINALLY understand the difference between the black and white later masks!

Superb video - the best I've seen on this topic. So glad I found it! The two images you've chosen are perfect for demonstrating masks. They show the concept so clearly. I also found your replies to comments (below) most helpful. Thank you for being so generous with sharing your expertise.

Just starting graphics and this is helpful thanks!

To make an image black and white with GIMP, open the Saturation menu by navigating to Colors > Saturation. In the Saturation menu, bring the saturation slider all the way down by clicking and dragging it to the left.

Great tutorial. Thank you so much.

thanks for the clear video

lovely

thanks, was very helpfull

When you have finished, what do you still need to do before saving? Do you need to merge, flatten or anything with the layer mask? Thank you.

❤ Thank you. Perhaps you can help me better understand this. I’m 70yr old and new with gimp. I’m having trouble conceptualizing these”masks” and the white/black nature. I understand the difference between black/white masks, but I have NO idea when to use a mask, and which type to use. If you cannot answer can you recommend a book or video that can assist me? I believe it’s the terminology that throws me off; I’m trying to incorporate my understanding of a mask with photo editing meanings. Why is black transparent? Why is white opaque? Black is opaque as well? See what I mean?

Maybe I have a different version. When I use the brush I get white or black painted over the image depending which color I pick. When I use the eraser I get the result shown in the video. OR I missed something important. I followed along as much as I could, then began experimenting. Still the video was helpful. Thank you.

Thanks!

What if I want to use a layer like a stencil? I haven´t found anything about selectively blocking parts of an image from editing. My idea is to use a black and white image such that the black spots block the editing of the layer below. Then the mask would be replaced by another and so on... in order to create complex multi-colour patterns. Thus setting something transparent won´t cut it. PS: sorry if it´s a total n00b question.

Thanks

to the point

thx

Thank you~

The menue add a mask to the layer had seven option. How the first two are working becomes clear, but how work the other option (Layer's alpah channel, Transfer layer's alpha channel, Selection, Grayscale cop of layer and Channel.) Could you explain them? Thanks.

great tutorial. Keep them coming. Very easy to follow. I have just one question. . . Why do we not just select the erase tool on the layer above the lower layer and erase the part of the image that we want from the lower image to show through?

We are trying to prevent destroyed pixels with this method. Meaning we don't want to permanently erase parts of an image.

@@GuruGal I guess this is where I get confused. So picture this... I open an image of a car. Then I add a layer mask. Are you saying that I erase my original image when I use the erase tool say on the wheels. Ince I use the eraser it destroys the pixels in that image and permanently removes them in the original image. I guess that would make sense except for the fact that I hadn't exported over my original car image with the wheels still on the car. Sorry I'm imagining permanent as permanent..or I could not open the image in it's original form unless I saved it again. Does that make any sense? Cuz I've hit the undo button after the eraser tool and the image is restored as far back as I'd like to take it. Even to its original.So I'm not following you entirely. And I over complicate things sometimes. Lol thanks for your help.

thanks

I would like to see how to add motion blur to a moving object, such as a dragster or Pro Stock car.

interesting.

I know what I'd like to know... how does someone apply a sequentially ordered number (like a increasing value watermark) to a series of related photos? I'd love to know a way to put a #1 on the first image of a sequence, a #10 on the tenth, a #25 on the twenty-fifth, etc. It seems logical that it would be in the Batch Image Processor plugin, but I don't see (or it is escaping me) that ability in there anywhere. Thanks.

Hmm that is an interesting request. I will look and see if I can find an easy way to do this!

So what are your brush settings? My brush has to go 4 times over a spot to let the colour throught 100% :(

hi, is it possible to convert a selection to a layer mask ? thanks

Absolutely! After you right click a layer and add a layer mask to it. Simply click selection. If you want the selection to become transparent be sure to tick invert, near the bottom of the dialog box.

Your voice was a bit low, otherwise good tutorial.

Wow I learn something new with each new gimp tutorial. How would you approach coloring all the camo in this airplane simulator scheme to white, black and grey? pics.towerhobbies.com/imagel/p/lpmma1821alt04.jpg

let me ask you this, instead straight away jumping into the Layer Mask, why don't you give us some useful tips and why we need layer mask.

Layer masks are useful for full control of transparency in your project. A layer mask prevents you from destroying pixels on a layer, and allows you to "erase" and bring back pixels without worrying about losing parts of an object.

Had to tune out. Information seemed on point- but I really wasn't up for straining to hear someone whispering meaningful information while a thousand leprechauns on metamphetamines bounce on trampolines next to the microphone. Really. It is not necessary to infuse every living moment with obnoxious sound.
