Great video. I've been using Gimp successfully for many years, but your videos have opened up so many more areas of knowledge for me. Thanks. For the grey area removal, on my particular image I found it easier to use the Colour Select tool and paint over certain sections where I needed the grey removed. Depends on the image, though.

You English is great. Please never apologise for your English. I hear so many people apologising 'sorry my bad english', honestly, we should apologise to you. I only speak one language, we are the ones who need to learn other languages. If anything, I want to send you a virtual 'Hi 5' for being able to speak two languages. We are the dumbass's. lol (Ranting) Love this tutorial. This is my go to technique at the moment. Thanks so much, I love it. I made a drawing of my girlfriend, she posted it on facebook saying ' look what Steve drew'......NO!....don't say I drew it. LOL. Everyone was impressed. Most people thought I drew it by hand, even though I clearly printed my name at the bottom as apposed to signing a hand drawn image. One interesting comment, however. One lady, only later realising that it was done digitally, almost rubbished the image, as if somehow digital art is not real art. These same people would have no music if digital art vanished. People! :) Edit: Fix spelling errors and typos. A thankless task.

Hi. I would like to ask you something. Do the finished pictures look good when they are printed? Or do they get distorted? I would love to show you some of my work to ask your opinion. If you would like to please add me on facebook/orban.timea Thank you very much!

@gimpworkshop9729 6 жыл бұрын

Hi Timea Love&Light. I'd like to see your work, but I can't find you on Facebook... sorry. Links don't work in comments (spam). You can however send me a private message with a link, via my channel under 'about' and then sent mesage. And yes, they get distorted when you make a large print, but it depends on size, resolutie, type of image, so you have to try to see what is acceptable. Hope this helps... Have a nice day!

Thank you for showing how quickly this can be done, I have used Layers in drawing applications but not sure exactly how they work in Gimp, I know that you made 3 layers but I have seen other videos where they delete layers or make them 'transparent' but you didn't do that, so still very confused with what is basic.

Hello Sir, would you be kind enough to tell me what is the translation of the word "dodge" in French in the version gimp 2.10 because there is nothing close to this word, which in French means "esquiver" ? I thank you for your answer, and I wanted to tell you that your tutorials are beautiful, thank you very much

@gimpworkshop9729 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Véronique Pattinson.😄 I myself am Dutch and the translation from 'dodge' into the Dutch lanquage is also a bit inaccurate. It would be the equivalent of 'evade' in English. But... 'dodge' in Gimp means that you make the area lighter as opposed to 'burn' wich means makes it darker. I hope that this helps you. And thank you for your kind words about the tuts.👌 I am glad you enjoy them. Have a great day. Jan.

Hoi yill levis. Je bedoelt misschien de tooloptions. Als deze niet standaard opent onder de toolbox kun je ze vinden onder Windows Dockable dialogs en dan Tooloptions. Hier kun je de size veranderen. De bracket keys zijn de rechthoekige haakjes op je toetsenbord. Laat maar weten of het nu lukt.

you must be good at drawing - so easily you did the eye work. but for non-artists like me, i am sure there must be an easy way - after all, you are changing colors to a grayscale image - just black and white, there must be a simple way.

Dear sir, I would like to ask your suggestions for editing something. I have JPG files of black and white mandala patterns (combinations of geometric shapes), which I designed on various websites and downloaded. Some of the shapes are not equal in line size and in colour (either black, or light grayish) and I would like to edit/correct the images so that they are all equal in line size and colour, to look harmoniously. Can you please advise me with editing solutions? You can message me on Facebook messenger too, we have spoken before. Thank you very much in advance! 🌻🌻💐

@gimpworkshop9729 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Timea Love&Light 😄. I would first crop them, so they have the same amount of white around the subject. Then scale them to make the size equal for all images. (Image->scale). Then adjust the black and white, with 'colors->brightness and contrast', or with 'colors -> levels. You can also try 'colors->threshold'. Now changing the thickness of the lines, might be a bit more complicated, but I would try to select all the black with the 'select by color' tool and then grow the selection (select->grow). Then fill the selection with black. (Drag black fg color into the the image) I hope this helps a bit, but it depends very much on the caracteristics of each image. Best, Jan. GW. ✌️
