How to Create a Neon Glow Effect in GIMP (Photo Manipulation)

[@MrZiglvleit]

He friend! I am from a small spot in Europe and sometimes English is difficult to understand. Your tutorials are a big exeption, you talk clear and you are easy to understand. My compliment for this! You are a good teacher and I learn a lot from you, many thanks! All the best friend.

for the light blur you can now use DOF blur effect plugin with gives better falloff for light , in visible layer mask make the white mask eclipse shape fitting the area and use the DOF plugin , it make the light falloff look more natural with subject and background

[@PsychRad]

This is a great effect. I've used it in several videos so far for my new KZbin channel. Thank you :)

[@AdamDymitruk]

You've inspired me to do more art! In Gimp!

[@josephbupe]

Thank you Davies for this tutorial. Please, any tips on how how to do the "rim lighting effect" using GIMP?

[@myonie22]

Great tutorial. I recall Gimp having a much easier Neon option in the Filter's tab, why the change?

[@cosmo0080]

i watch you and i try to think of the next step, often it is not the same then i want to try to do what u did but my way just to improve my learning thank you

[@kaixdragonfire]

Nice tutorial! Tiny request/criticism, I think it would be helpful if you could explain the absolute function of some tools. For example, the stroke tool on path, you used it on the created path but didnt dive into what the stroke tool's function is as a whole which would be helpful for identifying non tutorial specific uses for the tool. Thanks again for making the tut though!

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

I explain everything in depth in my course. Thanks for watching!

[@farmboyfanGaming]

I went here for the glow tutorial but then learned 10 more new things I didn't know that's essential lol! THANK YOU!!!! Sub'd

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Thanks for subbing!

[@MaximilianoNoriega]

You are a maGIMPcian. I'm doing just the right thing by following you. Gimp is such a powerful tool but there is very little help to know how to work with it, nothing like what you do.

[@cherryblossom8911]

I love his tutorials. Very helpful. But I do have a question (it may sound dumb) but why do you have to have multiple layers when editing a photo?

[@smilthakur5167]

So he does not destroy original image by mistake

[@BamBttv]

dude !!! really nice tutorial ! To be honnest, that is really helping ! Thanks

[@kombat4135]

Great tutorial, as usual. Also, just a warning, do not reply to any "wanna be friends" comments, there have been reports of people's channels being hacked because of it.

[@djvar94]

What? How so? Pretty sure whoever has 2FA turned on can't be hacked that easily really, surely not by just replying to a silly comment..

[@djvar94]

This is most definitely a hoax as I suspected from the very beginning, here I quote a suggested answer from a question from the KZbin Help forum: "YoungBoy, that wouldn't apply to this, as that would be a different website, not a youtube video. Also pulling an IP address is as trivial as it is useless, unless you plan to DDOS a specific person or service. What other websites do doesn't make it so that youtube has a vulnerability that is technically impossible, because it would require a third party domain (to set up a reverse proxy or similar) or some form of MitM attack to execute, neither of which are related to a comment. Interaction with an account or comment just doesn't provide more information than is already available to a user to begin with, unless a user already has account database access... And in that case, they could do it for any account even without the interaction. There are too many things pointing towards it being a hoax, ranging from technical impossibility to it not affecting any actual big channels, including those who confirmed to have interacted with that account. It wouldn't even be the first time someone made up a story like this to attract more youtube viewers to their "news" reports on the subject." This most definitely sounds just like yet another sort of 'chain letter'. Something fake just for the '''''pleasure'''''' to get it going. So sad really. I shame people that do these stupid things. If they get satisfied for something so stupid, ridiculous and trivial. I really pity and shame them.

[@yetser7485]

really? i also got one from a guy named song

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@yetser7485 That channel and many others are using bots to get subs but most of all precious views, just report them as spam, I had at least 14 from one, on one video, reported them all as spam and not had any since, they'll be back in some form no doubt.

[@yetser7485]

@@HalfdeadRider thank u so much

[@salemalmahdi1]

Thank you for this great tutorial as usual 💜 شكرا لك علي هذا الفيديو التعليمي العظيم ك العادة 💜

[@theman7050]

masking is love, masking is life !!

[@cipherrex516]

Thanks for the help, I'm making a videogame with neon lines and it looks really good.

[@frozenheroe3771]

Cool! How's the game doing?

[@mansekfunftausend3062]

may i ask a question, is it possible to combine this path fill outs, and use it as a drawing tool? like draw lines (path) an fill it with the different colour layers immediatelly? best regards from vienna

[@neondragon1820]

Thanks for the easy to follow guide

[@tfaitsch]

Once you have the neon effect in place, is there an easy way to change the effect's color without going back through all the steps?

[@u.k.5604]

This is a amazing tutorial. Thank you so much for that. Great explained and shown. I just have to check out your other Gimp videos. Awsome what you can do with this program if you know how.

[@Balling4lfe]

Anyone care to explain the click and drag function of the layers in the layers window in the 2.10 version of GIMP? When I create a new layer group, I can't click and drag the layers into the layer group

[@RinksRides]

That was awesome!

[@kroanosm617]

Is it important to convert the image to GIMP sRGB?

[@ShawnDelaney]

@Davies Media Design !!!!!! I know that you did a 'toolbox' tutorial already - BUT HOW DID YOU GET THE TOOLBOX ON THE LEFT AS IN THIS VIDEO!??!?!!!?!?

[@bodatawwab6558]

Thanks very much for this video!

[@Airi-oy9ch]

Possible name of the program

[@SmokeyLaBear]

What's missing is adding the neon glow to the model's catchlight. That would be truly impressive.

[@Ace_of_DiscaL]

You are wonderful!

[@austinsmith6632]

Do the effects still work for print on demand shirts, like for merch by amazon. When it gets printed on the shirt, etc. will it still have the effects

[@Andrea-tp5il]

In short yes. It should still have the same effect however, it definitely depends on the quality of the printer as to how finely detailed it is. Hope this helps!

[@yetser7485]

great tutorials as always...

[@gizanime782]

Anyone know a way to remove the white line?

[@krisnaxda]

thank for the tutorial, really good channel

Another awesome tutorial! 😄

[@Will.27]

Interesting how you pronounce Gaussian. I always thought it was GOW-see-en, but you pronounce it like GOW-shzen. I think more people pronounce it my way but I don't know what's the correct way.

[@PP3D]

Thank you.

Sad I’m just finding this so long after it was uploaded. Nailing this is seriously not easy.
