GIMP Activity #1

Picture
In this activity, we will learn how to:
  • crop an image to specific area
  • make duplicate layers (of the same image)
  • arrange and name layers
  • perform a filter on 5 of the layers
(Leave the first image/layer to show the original image)

Remember these Keyboard Shortcuts:
  • Ctrl-Z  = "Undo"
  • Ctrl-Y  = "Redo what you just Undid"

  • "+"     = Zoom In  (may need: "Shift +")
  • "-"      = Zoom Out
  • Ctrl-ScrollWheel = Zoom In/Out (hold down Ctrl and scroll)

for Windows computers.

Instructions

Picture
Find the photo called "Amber.jpg".

Open (or drag it into) GIMP.

Here are the steps we will use:

  1. We want a new file (File -> New) that is 800 x 600
    (800 pixels wide and 600 pixels high).

  2. Let's do the math to make 3 columns and 2 rows.
    800 / 3 = 266.66666 (so we set it to the 'floor':266)
    600 / 2 = 300

  3. Now, open the Amber photo

  4. Choose the Crop tool and drag a box around Amber's head.  Do *NOT* click Enter yet.
    In the "Tool Options" tab (below the buttons), 
    change the "Size" to 266 x 300
    (266 wide and 300 high)
    We want a "head and shoulders" photo, so
    click-and-drag in the middle of the crop window
    to get the photo we want.
    Now, press Enter (on the keyboard) to crop the photo.

  5. With Amber's cropped photo, choose:
    - Select -> All (or Ctrl-A)
    - Edit -> Copy (or Ctrl-C)

  6. Go back to your blank 800x600 file

  7. Now we want to Paste the cropped photo here:
    - Edit -> Paste (or Ctrl-V)

  8. Pasting creates a Floating Selection layer (Layers tab).  Click the "Create New Layer" button to make Amber's photo it's own layer.

  9. In the Layers tab, we want to Duplicate the layer so we have 6 layers of Amber.

    STOP!   Save your work!  
    File -> Save -> "activity-1.xcf"


  10. Use the Move button to move the top layer of Amber's photo to the top left corner of the canvas.
    Rename this layer "Original".

  11. Use the Move button to move:
    - the 2nd layer to the top middle
    - the 3rd layer to the top right
    - the 4th layer to the bottom left
    - the 5th layer to the bottom middle
    - the 6th layer to the bottom left

  12. We will apply Filters to layers 2-6 (+ rename layers).
    - Layer 2: Use Filter -> Distorts -> Emboss
    - Then rename Layer 2 to "Emboss"

  13. Layers 3-6, use whatever Filters you wish.
    Make sure that the filter makes an obvious change to Amber's photo.

  14. Save as activity-1.xcf
    - Be sure to upload this as a "File" on your Weebly site

  15. Export as JPG - activity-1.jpg
    - Be sure to upload this as a "Picture" on Weebly
      and click the first button to "Open larger image ..."
