User blog:PandaPrincess7/Panda's GIMP Tutorials (Basic Clothes)

Hi

To all: I'm SUPER sorry I couldn't get pictures in. Now moving on to the beginner's and advanced clothes lesson

Beginner's clothes: This is a very simple part for people who just got GIMP

1st. Open up GIMP

2nd. Go to "File" and click on the "Open" button and select the picture you edited before.

3rd. Go to "Windows" and hover your mouse over "Recently Closed Docks" then click on the "ToolBox" the toolbox is very useful, it provides all the tools for you. Then go back to "Windows" and hover your mouse over "Recently Closed Docks" and there should be another one (I forgot what it's called) and open that. It will have Brushes, Patterns, Gradients and the Undo tool. The undo is SUPER helpful because if you make a mistake you can just click one step backward, fix your mistake and bam!

4th. Use the zoom tool on the toolbox (It looks like a mangifying glass) to zoom in very close. If you are not good with GIMP yet and you don't have a steady hand with the lasso tool, this will help your edit look cleaner

5th. Click the "Free Select" tool on the tool box (It looks like a lasso) and lasso around the shirt

6th. Now go to the "Colors" and press "Colorize". Colorize will allow you to change your girl's shirt color, but without hiding the details. Play around with Colorize a bit until you get the color you want.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the pants/skirt.

8. . Go to the Windows button and find the Export button and hit Export. This will save your edit until you want to work on it next!
