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

Hi

This post is mainly for CreativeCalico and Blondwave, but if there are other users who use GIMP feel free to read this!

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

1. Open up GIMP

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

3. 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!

4. 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

5. Use the Free Selct tool to seect around the shirt. Be creative with the shirt shape, like transform Stephanie's tank top into a edgy cold-shoulder top.

6. Use the Paintbrush tool to color in the area you selected, be creative with the color too!

7. Go to the " Filters" bar at the top, hover your mouse over it and you should find this button called " Noise", hover your mouse over that and then click " HSV Noise" and play with it to make sure you get right.

8. Export your edit.
