GIMP 2.8 Tutorial - Bear in the Road

[@ashfordartscentrekatfm2018]

Really informative and professionally presented, there's no annoying coughing, lip smacking or mess-ups . Really smoothly done.

[@BOUNTY906]

Easy informational instruction. Just started GIMP and I love it. As a airbrush artist and muralist (56 yrs. young), where were these programs 35 years ago? It's exciting to use a fresh medium that goes beyond my creativity. Videos such as yours make it so easy. I do suggest that every GIMP beginner (except PS people, etc.), pull a video that shows all the bells and whistles. Leaning tools and which ones do what, and there's several ways to do the same thing with exact same results was key for me. Hell, I keep a a YT window open and pop back and forth between tutorials like yours. Keep it coming and I'll stay tuned. Thanks....

[@mircroman2743]

Wow thank u. Your one of the only people in KZbin who don't go off topic

[@elmerfudd264]

Sir, you are by far the best instructor on youtube I've heard, please keep up the good work, it is much appreciated by me, thank you for your time and effort

[@sarahbiewer4956]

i watched about 7 videos and yours is the only 1 that helped me

[@SameerJubeh]

I love your commentary while working, it's just like hearing an audio book with visual effects, keep up the good work.

[@tpflowspecialist]

I found your video at just the right speed and with a focus on a simple but useful task. Thanks, I just subscribed to keep watching and learning more.

[@castsheet]

These tutorials are GREAT.. I had no clue how to start the editing in Gimp.. these tutorials are life savers.. Thank You

[@DixieDiarist]

Best image splice tutorial I have seen yet for GIMP. Thanks for the concise tool use explanations.

[@DavidToppMelanieScot]

I just sat through about 10 other tutorials on Gimp and by far, yours was the best! Your pacing was perfect. You didn't clutter it up with a lot of unnecessary talking. All of it was exactly what I needed!! Thanks for making it so simple and easy to understand. Huzzah. :) ~Melanie

[@killasudds]

Great video easy to follow, not too long I have watched many video's showing how to edit two images this was by far the best one. Clear and concise, Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@JDG71350]

I've been working for hours getting nowhere. You have made this much easier to understand. Thanks

[@garybunk1]

Very good, lots of tools explored and explained using fundamental image processing. Thanks

[@underii]

Great tutorials! Even a beginner can make something with your tutorials! You go detailed, but not too boring.

[@lisalochead2039]

Love these tutorials. I use them in class so that students can work on them at their own pace. Thank you

[@Bemmu]

Exceptionally clear tutorials.

[@roadscholarable]

Your videos are very easy to follow, and learn from. Thank you!

[@johnhampson7]

Many thanks, I learned so much from guys like you who are willing to share.

[@meyerjohannes]

Good video to learn the bear necessities of GIMP.

Clear voice and well explained at the right pace (at least, for me). i'm subscribing.

[@ThatOneWeirdGal]

very detailed but fast tutorial. Yours is one of the best ones. This really helped, thank you!

[@spot2be]

Simple and soooo helpful as usual. Would love to see a tutorial that highlights the challenges when using photos of different sizes and the best use of the tools in the Image and Layer pull downs.

[@tutor4u]

You can use the "Scale Tool" or you can select "Scale Layer" from the Layer menu.

[@tonymcc115]

Awesome tutorial. Nicely presented and clearly understandable.

[@tutor4u]

If you try to erase part of an image without an alpha channel then you will not be able to see the image underneath. If you add an alpha channel then you can erase the image directly without using a layer mask. I rarely use a layer mask but I almost always use an alpha channel.

[@jeanniebrinkmeier9496]

Your tutorials are so easy to understand. Thank you for your time, effort, and expertise!

[@tutor4u]

There was no 'Add layer mask' stage. What I did was 'Add Alpha Channel'. The image was a jpg image. This type of image has no alpha channel and therefor cannot be made transparent. By adding an alpha channel, it allowed me to use the eraser tool with a soft brush to remove the unwanted parts of the image.

[@Mischiou]

Hi tutor4u, You've great tutorials and clearly lots of humor. I had a great laugh looking at this. In Dutch we've got a saying: "beren op de weg zien". translated: Seeying bears on the road. Which means always seeing problems in advance, though it's not likely than any problems will occur. Sorry for my bad English. Keep up the good work and thanks.

[@jpww111]

Nice tutorial, very simple and easy to follow. Thanks.

[@jingxinML]

A great video. Very clear and straight to the point explanations. Thanks.

[@victor2410]

Thanks for replying to questions! Most of the times my questions have already been asked (alpha channel) and you have answered! It helps a lot.

[@tutor4u]

If you're using GIMP version 2.8 then go to the "Windows" menu and select "Single-Window Mode." If you still don't see the window then go to the "Windows" menu and select "Dockable Dialogs" and then "Layers."

[@richardbutterfield4601]

Hi I'm new to this, what I like about your video is that you do not assume that I know all the easy steps. You speak slowly and give me a chance to figure things out. I am going to give this a shot Thanks Dick

[@MarinTheSnorky]

Thanks for these GIMP tutorials. They are awesome :)

[@sherryparker7205]

Great video. I am new to Gimp and trying to figure it out. Going to give this a try and make a merged image my husband has always thought would be cool.

[@Milisavify]

Thank you for professional, interesting and enjoyable tutorial. Best regards!

[@shawmansmash]

I get as far as cleaning the first image up but when i view other picture it's covered by the white area i cleaned. what gives?

[@MdMozammelHossain]

brother, you have make very useful, helpful tutorial .. thank you so much... very well done !!

[@peggyscroggins9237]

I am new to gimp and like how you explain in details. Thank you.

[@DJBigMac209]

great video, really easy to understand and follow. I appreciate your time

[@tutor4u]

If you’re using GIMP version 2.8 then go to the “Windows” menu and select “Single-Window Mode.” If that doesn't work then Click on the “Windows” menu, at the top of the GIMP window, and you should see “Recently Closed Docs” and "Dockable Dialogs." One of these should help.

[@sadiesparks8683]

you have helped me so much in my classes, thank you!!

[@tutor4u]

Go to the "Windows" menu and select "Recently Closed Docs" and then click on "Layers." If you don't see it there then go to the "Windows" menu and select "Dockable Dialogs" and then click on "Layers."

[@denisenicholson8988]

Very good video, hope you do more of them as I'm new to GIMP and found this very informative! Thanks

[@sjmunoz]

hi, how can i do this in 3:34 with latest gimp vesrion 2.10.20 ?

[@insolveit]

perfect demo. Short & interesting. Thanks a lot.

[@TJWallerPhotography]

I have learned so much from your videos here on KZbin and from your website. Thank you so much for doing this. I'm still very new to Gimp and I've seen other videos that say to use "layer masks" instead of the eraser tool, but I don't quite understand the layer mask. Could you possibly do a video showing how to use it and WHY one would actually need to use it over the eraser? Thanks again!

[@greetingsfromchilliwack5702]

This is exactly what I wanted to learn today! Thank you

[@fabulous688]

Great work as usual. Keep going bro

[@jsanti1000]

youre an excellent instructor i will be watching more videos from you. thank you kindly.

[@alexiadelaria]

I love your videos ! Very inspiring !

[@cnatview]

Thank you for this great tutorial.

[@KaylaWave13]

This video is wonderful but i was wondering how you can edit your brushes. I am missing the left edit area?

[@leverettson]

Absolutely fabulous, soooooo helpful. Thank you.

[@TheBlindfalcon1973]

Great video....can't explain it any easier than that. THANKS

[@funhatchtv4227]

Thank you so much for sharing, I've learned more with your tutorials.

[@kodemasterx]

Awesome video, I have learned so much for your tutorials. I do have one favor to ask there's any way you can make a small tutorial on how to cast shadows on GIMP like for example I did some background changes on some of my pictures with my wife but I'd like to have some shadows cast from our human bodies to make it look more realistic... Please whenever you have the chance... Thanks again for all your great videos...

[@senadirect]

A question is why would you have to go thru the 'Add layer mask' stage since we did not seem to use the mask for anything, I am saying the image could have been cut out directly anyway and placed into the road image and because it just a black and white image, do the saturation thingy and its all fine? I understand that using layer mask is when you want to apply your alpha and in order to have some transparency inside the real image... pls explain, I trust you understand this better.

[@sj1345]

okay, you have the menu bar to the right. mine does not have that so when you say to remove layers... im not quite sure how to do it by a certain layer and then end up removing the wrong one. basically, how do i get the menu to the right.

i am always wondering - are there really pros who (to zoom in/out, deselect stuff etc.) use menu bar, not shortcuts? And some stuff could've been done faster, but still good video.

[@victor92694]

i scaned a drawing of mine onto my computer for a better quality of editing it on gimp, and i use the free select tool to select a portion of my drawing to add color, but every time i try to fill it with the color i want it comes out grey,( like its being scaned) instead of like a blue or red color for example, is there a way to fix it so it could come out the right color i want it too?

[@Darkryoka]

you also can change some colour on the picture.. example.. they have red blue green yellow, the blue colour you wanna change, just klik the blue box before moving the hue cursor bar..

[@TheGizmo47]

another great tutorial thank you once again

[@tutor4u]

To save you're image, go to the File menu and select Export.

[@ncoutlander]

Great Job and how to explanation, thanks for sharing!

[@AMUPYSCREATIONS]

Love ed you r tutorials

[@Seph2013]

Hi Can you post a video on how to make someone look thinner? Someone else posted a video on how to do that but it was really fast and I couldn't see what the heck they were doing. Thanks.

[@senadirect]

My bad, I really meant Alpha channel, so to my inquiry, did we have to do that first, how about just snipping round and erasing directly the unwanted surrounding, since its not the image directly we are erasing. I thought Alphas channels are needed in cases of an image with intricate parts that cant be cut out but needs to be made transparent in combination with layer mask...

[@justice4pixels]

Easy to understand. Thanks so much.

[@ugopeabody351]

Thank you! I can actually follow your steps and do it!!!..I've done 3 so far thanks to you..

[@Videoteq]

Thank You for this Tutorial, I still have difficulties with Gimp, it is for me still not the same as Photoshop but hey, I can't afford Photoshop for Mac. I wil still look for more Gimp Tutorials. Thnx. Arie

[@alsypig]

Can you please tell me how to get my screen to look like yours, I have a toolbox much like yours, but mine is floating, and how do you get the options on the right up? Thanks.

[@tutor4u]

Go to the “Windows” menu and select “Single-Window Mode.” Also, if you're missing some dialog boxes, then from the "Windows" menu select "Dockable Dialogs" and choose the dialogs that you want.

[@alsypig]

I just realised I have an older version of Gimp without the option in the Windows menu for single window mode, I have now upgraded to 2.8 and can now use single window mode. Thanks for your help.

[@dawnsully88]

Awesome! I was just going ask this question. Thanks :)
