Gimp is an open source, professional photo and image editor similar to Adobe Photoshop. It is 100% free and can be downloaded www.gimp.org/downloads/ Find more great free software at tjfree.com/
One more thing: I'd lack to add a tip that I think might help those learning these tools. With both tools, you can adjust the size of your brush with the bracket keys on your keyboard. Decreasing its size helps when you need to do more fine-detailed work and increasing it helps when there's a big, easy clone-out so you can do it more quickly. I was going crazy trying to do it with the arrow keys, which is how it's done in some other image editors. Finding out about the use of those bracket keys has made a huge difference.
I've started learning GIMP and I found your playlist. Just wanted to say your videos are really really great because they are so simple yet efficient. Also, congratulations on the 200k subs!!!
We had to repair a photo like this several years ago using an early software for photo repairs and it was ok but this is far better and much easier to use. Thanks for the tutorial.
beautiful I've used gimp for years and always wondered when they'd add this tool turns out it's been there for a bit lol I just didn't know what it would be called to find it. thank you this really turns my Gimp skill up tenfold
This is exactly what I needed to learn. Thanks. I had gotten skilled at Ulead PhotoImpact, which was orphaned some years back and doesn't run under Linux. So now I'm learning Gimp and it sometimes seems hard.
I really like your videos. You explain everything in wonderful detail and you make it a pleasure to learn to use Gimp. I find it easier to use the more I learn from you. :-)
Thanks for posting this one. Such a useful tool I somehow looked over using Photoshop. I am watching through your tututorial on Mac so the layout is slightly different and the commands different. It is still very helpful
I've tried to use GIMP several times in the past for image rebuilding, and a feature I missed so much from Photoshop was the preview of the cloned area, inside of the stamp clone tool circle, that makes this operation more accurate. Is there any way to do the same on GIMP?
Nice tutorial, I am just getting started with this. this is just awesome. And please share those photos you used in this tutorial for our practice.........if possible
thanks for showing/promoting! its so sad that gimp doesnt go the way of blender. should be way more famous and receive more donations. (around 65000 per ano now)Imagine if on 1% percent of photoshop earnings would flow into gimp!!! what a blessing for humanity that would be. same with linux and other open source. its crazy how a few greedy corporations pull all the money. I will never buy subscription software
Question when using the clone tool in order to make an subject disappear or if I want to replace a subject like that rocks do I have to decrease the hardness and increase the force?
I have tried clone in my zorin OS 16 and don't know why I couldn't properly do it , may be due to my system requirement, but my system is not that bad, so I tired the same in my desktop (windows) it was an older system than my laptop running 3rd gen i5, with 4 GB ram, I was able to clone smoothly. so I changed my OS ( second time, first was Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which I didn't like due to frequent wifi cut off and crashing,,) Gimp is working nicely in Linux Mint... interface of Mint is not as flowery as Zorin ( I actually liked zorin very much) but it does the job for me .
Brother good job..thanku you for this videos... And i want to konw which icon is for normal selection tool...? And short cut key for ubuntu shouting down computer...?
The next tutorial covers Selection Tools in detail. I think CTL+ALT+DEL on Ubuntu will bring up the Shutdown dialog. You can also open 'Terminal' and type in 'shutdown'.
Hi, I am just trying Gimp for the first time, I tried to use clone, but nothing is haappening. I can not see the dotted circle it shoul do. Can you help please.
I've used Photoshop since 3.0 so the Clone part of this seemed good but unnecessary for me. However I'd have liked you to have spent a little more time explaining what the Heal tool does differently.
The heal tool doesn't seem to work properly anymore. It makes colours way brighter than they should be and tends to make everything into a blurry mess.
You can simply press H to get the healing tool. Or if you want separate icons (they are probably in groups, where the clone and healing tools are grouped as a single icon), do this: menu option Edit -> Preferences then select Toolbox on the left and *uncheck* the 'Use tool groups' checkbox. This will ungroup the icons so that Clone and Heal appear as separate icons.
Gimp has Deliberately been Made Difficult by the Photoshop team. We Need to Do this in an Easy to Use Home user way. Gimp is Mass home Market. Even you P1GS can't do Blender / Toy Story. Your Corporations Can Just about do - Davinchy Resolve / Adobe Premiere Pro Video Editing. Not Home Use.
