In this GIMP 2.10.4 tutorial, I show you how to "transform the body" using common techniques in the photo retouching industry. These techniques have grown to become more controversial over the years as "Photoshopping" has often gone too far in creating an "ideal" body image. However, it is still common place for retouchers to make slight tweaks to models in order to achieve the results they want.
I show you how to make these tweaks using the Warp Transform and Cage Transform tools. The Warp Transform tool is very similar to Photoshop's Warp Tool, and the Cage Tool is similar to the Puppet Warp Tool. The Warp Transform tool replaced the iWarp tool which was in GIMP 2.8 and older.

When I said I will study an open source software, some people using photoshop laughed at me. I see now that GIMP can do almost everything photoshop can do. May be methods are different and a bit slower, but essentially, Gimp can do everything. This work you guys are doing of developing GIMP and educating people about the tools, is great service to graphic designing community.

The cage transformation tool is great as long as you have a solid background. Otherwise, the background also gets transformed, which is not always good. When possible, I duplicate the image in a new layer and re-paint back the original background onto the transformed image. Lotsa work tho

Hi, good tutorial - quick question, about the very last step. Is there any good way to use the original image to enhance the quality of edited one, as opposed to using the sharpening tool (which I assume will not match the quality of original)?

Does the fuzzy select tool help to narrow down to what you want to manipulate? Like using fuzzy select on the blue background, invert selection, and cage select the legs. Or the same sequence for Iwarp for legs and arms? I have a little bit of trouble following those contours with my mouse or trackpad as well as you do.

@DaviesMediaDesign 6 лет назад

Yep - if you draw a selection area first, then grab the cage transform tool, your transformations will only occur within the selection area. Though your transformations will get cut off by the outer boundary of the selection area.

Cage tool seems to be totally broken in version 2.10.20, or is it just me?

@DeathVend0r 3 года назад

Obrigado!

I have no idea what I'm doing different from you, but when I make a cage, I cannot select more than one node. The rest are all anchored. And moving any node does not transform the image. It just adds a copy of the caged selection on top that shears into strips.

Hello! I have a problem and I hope you can help me. I painted a acrylic painting on a 50x70cm canvas. I photographed the canvas during the process. First I want to warp the photograps of the paintings in Gimp so that the canvas becomes a perfect rectangle. As we know, when we photograph a canvas, the angle is never perfect. So I want to warp the canvas in the photography to a perfect rectangle. I know the warp function in gimp, but I dont know how to warp it so that it becomes a perfect rectangle. Secondly, when like 4 photographs of the canvas have been warped, I want to cut a few milimeters of the edges off the canvas, so that the edges become very clean looking. But I want to cut in the exact same spot on the canvas on every photography. Then I want to scale it to the exact same size, so that I have 4 photographs of the canvas of the exact same size. So that every spot is exactly where it is on the other photography. Do you know what I mean? My plan is to make a animation in blender. I want to cut out several parts of the photographs to get to work them togeter. Thats why Im very concerned about the size, so that everything will be spot on and nothing wont be off later in the process. I hope I explained my problem so that you could understand what I mean. If you know how to approach this, please let me know. Unfortunately I didnt find anything on youtube that could help me. Thanks

as incredible as it may seem, I was thinking a few minutes ago about when you would post a video about this tool.

@DaviesMediaDesign 6 лет назад

I'd like to think I can read the minds of my subscribers lol. Glad this came out in a timely manner for you, though!

@ZeekStreet 6 лет назад

When are you doing another live, because I'm having trouble with layering my portrait dimensions after I use select tool to cut out a portrait

@DaviesMediaDesign 6 лет назад

I'm going to shoot for end of August or early September - stay tuned! If I hit my first goal on Patreon then I'll be doing them every week.

@ZeekStreet 6 лет назад

Davies Media Design ok thanks good luck👍

@AlicesonRose 6 лет назад

I'm so glad to see this! Got anything on shadows? I have a terrible time with shadows, both indoors and out :(

@DaviesMediaDesign 6 лет назад

Awesome! Thanks for watching. Care to elaborate on what it is you are having trouble with in regards to shadows?

@AlicesonRose 6 лет назад

Davies Media Design with the flash. If I'm outside and the sun is above/ behind I need flash or the subject's features are too dark, if inside with a window near, again, without flash subject features are very dark, but when using the flash, I get terrible silhouette shadows. But if I lighten the background, or darken, the shadows show waaayyy more.
