Four ways of Saving Save Save As Save as Copy Save Template Four ways of saving Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

19 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Save The Save command saves your image to disk. If you have already saved the image, the previous image file is overwritten with the current version. Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

20 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Save As The Save as command displays the “Save Image” dialog. Gives you a text box to assign a name to the file, and a drop-down list a directory to save it in. Select File Type option expander to pick a different file type. Save AS Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

21 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Save As Copy Save a Copy command does the same thing as the Save command, but with one important difference. It always asks for a file name and saves the image into the specified file, but it does not change the name of the active image or mark it as “clean”. Save as Copy Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

22 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Saving as Template The Save as Template command creates a template with the same dimensions and color space as the current image. A dialog pops up, which asks you to name the new template, then the template is saved and becomes available in the New Image dialog. If you give a name that already exists, GIMP generates a unique name by appending a number to it. Saving as Template Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

23 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Cropping Open the biplane image from our GIMP Folder Cropping is used to remove any unwanted selection from a digital photo we do not need for a current graphic project. So let us take a look at the cropping tool and then remove the unwanted part. Cropping Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

24 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
After Cropping Here is the same photo after we have cropped it. Save as Biplane_cropped After cropping Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

25 Brightening and Darkening
A common problem with camera images is that they are either too light or too dark. GIMP has many powerful tools that can be used to correct these problems. Here a few tools we can use. Color Balance Brightness and Contrast Levels Curves Brightening and darkening Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

26 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Rotating GIMP offers a rotation tool that can correct minor errors made while shooting with your camera. Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

27 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

45 Change Colors and Brushes
Main Image Window Layers Brushes Change colors and brushes Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

46 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Erasing The Eraser, like other drawing tools, uses the current brush and color to erase with, so make sure you select the correct brush and color before you begin erasing. Erasing Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

47 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Stroking Regions GIMP doesn’t have any tools specifically for drawing shapes, which confuses some people coming from other drawing programs. The trick is to make a selection and then stroke. Edit, Stroke Selection, on the next dialog box chose the stroke you want to work with. Stroking regions Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

48 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Filling with Patterns Filling a selection with solid color or pattern is easy. First chose you drawing tool and make a new drawing or select a object in the main image window. Make sure to select from the Toolbox, Layers Tool Edit Fill with FG Color Fill with BF Color Fill with Pattern Filling with patterns Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

49 Filling with Gradients
The Gradient Chooser is located on the Toolbox, below the current brush and pattern. Choose your gradient and select the Blend Tool from Toolbox Next apply your gradient by using the Blend on your image Most of the gradient available in the dialog box have fixed colors regardless of the current foreground and background. Some gradients also include transparency, or partial transparency. Filling with Gradients Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

50 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
When GIMP Won’t Draw GIMP will only draw to the current layer. It’s also possible you have pasted recently and still have a floating selection. While looking at the Layers Dialog, take a look at the Keep Transparency button. If that is checked GIMP won’t let you draw Check the opacity tool in the tool options: make sure it’s at 100%. Layers each have mode, and some modes do strange things in combination with the layer beneath. Make sure that the current layer’s mode is Normal unless you are creating a effect. Check the Mode in the tool options for the drawing tool you're using. If it’s not Normal, unexpected things can happen. When GIMP won’t draw Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

51 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
A Drawing Project-2 Most drawing projects begin with a blank canvas in the new image window. To practice drawing techniques, we will use new layer 200x400 pixels that will easily fit on our computer screen New Image New Layer=trunk New Layer=trunk shadow New Layer=branches New Layer=leaves New Layer=darker leaves View and New View is a great tool for viewing the image when editing A drawing project-2 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

54 Working with Selections
When you have an object selected with Marching Ants you can apply the many different features in GIMP to change the selection to fit what ever graphic effect you need. Working with selections Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

55 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Marching Ants The marching ants effect is an animation technique often found in selection tools of computer graphics programs. It helps the user to distinguish the selection border from the image background by animating the border. The border is a dotted or dashed line where the dashes seem to slowly walk sideways and up and down. This creates an illusion of ants marching in line as the black and white parts of the line start to move Source: Marching ants Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

58 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Bezier Paths Bezier Paths Tool-lets you define control points (also called anchor points, or nodes)outlining your object. Defining a Path The Paths Dialog Curved Paths Adding Nodes or Segments and Moving Paths Moving or Modify an Existing Path CTRL Click or Enter on your starting point. Edit Copy, Edit Paste as New Image . You now have a new image of what you created a path around. Bezier Paths Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

59 Intelligent Scissors Tool
Works somewhat like the Bezier paths, but with a twist: it tries to follow the boundaries of an object. Caution: You must close your selection by clicking on the first point; that is not an option like it is in the Bezier path tool. CTRL Click or Enter on your starting point. Edit Copy, Edit Paste as a New Image. You now have a new image of what you created a path around. Intelligent Scissors Tool Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

60 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
The Quick Mask Lets you see your selection visually superimposed on the image instead of the usual “marching ants” view. Everything not selected will have a red translucent red mask over it. Quick Mask mode is turned on by pressing the small square at the bottom-left corner of image window. Quick Mask Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

78 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
Image File Types wilber.png JPEG GIF PNG XCF TIFF Other Formats wilber.jpg Image file types Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

79 Joint Photographic Experts Group
Category (jpg) Raster Image Files File Description Compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG); supports up to 24-bit color, which makes JPEG a good format for storing digital photos; compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG images are commonly used for Web graphics and for storing photos taken with digital cameras. They are usually saved with a .JPG extension. Source: Joint Photographic Experts Group Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

80 Graphical Interchange Format File
Category (gif) Raster Image Files File Description Image file that may contain up to 256 indexed colors; color palette may be a predefined set of colors or may be adapted to the colors in the image; lossless format, meaning the clarity of the image is not compromised with GIF compression. GIFs are common format for Web graphics, especially small images and images that contain text, such as navigation buttons. GIF images can also be animated and saved as "animated GIFs," which are often used to display basic animations on websites; they may also include transparent pixels, which allow them to blend with different color backgrounds; however, pixels in a GIF image must be either fully transparent or fully opaque, so the transparency cannot be faded like a .PNG image. Source: Graphical Interchange Format File Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

81 Portable Network Graphic
Category (png) Raster Image Files File Description Image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format; like a .GIF file, contains a bitmap of indexed colors under a lossless compression, but without copyright limitations; commonly used to store graphics for Web images. The PNG format was created in response to limitations with the GIF format, primarily to increase color support and to provide an image format without a patent license; additionally, while GIF images only support fully opaque or fully transparent pixels, PNG images may include an 8-bit transparency channel, which allows the image colors to fade from opaque to transparent. PNG images cannot be animated like GIF images; however, the related .MNG format can be animated; PNG images do not provide CMYK color support because they are not intended for use with professional graphics; PNG images are now supported by most Web browsers. Source: Portable Network Graphic Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

82 eXperimental Computing Facility
Category (XCF) Raster Image Files File Description Image file created by the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), a freely distributed image editing program; saves layers, channels, paths, guides, and the current selection when saved. Source: Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

83 Tagged Image File Format
Category(tiff) Raster Image Files File Description Graphics container that can store both raster and vector images; may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit; supports both lossy and lossless compression; also supports multiple layers and pages. TIFF files were designed to be a standard image format for saving high-quality color images on multiple computer platforms; they are most often seen with the .TIF extension. The TIFF format was originally developed by Aldus, who merged with Adobe Systems in 1994 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!

84 Let the GIMP Force Be With You!
