![]() Other than the minor fact that the shift didn't create a square or circle, I can now draw an ellipse or rectangle (and if I'm very careful, I can make it almost square or circular). End operation by clicking outside the object you just drew Right-click again on the object to choose "Colors -> Colorify->choose color->OK" Right-click on the object to choose "Select -> Border -> 5 pixels -> OK" Supposedly you left-click and drag (for an ellipse or rectangle) or shift-left-click and drag (for a circle or square) but for me, both created the same thing which is whatever I drew Type the letter "e" (for a circle or ellipse) or the letter "r" (for a square or rectangle) You will get not only layer styles, there are many more delicacies there. In the page I created on the KVM website, a little javascript handled swapping between the original & outline views on mouse over, but that’s all there is to it.I found out from this video () the multiple steps to drawing a border-filled ellipse. Outline Pink Plain Purple Red Rounded Science-Fiction Script Shadow Shiny Small. Once done, the layer positions can be moved around to fit well.Īnd that’s the final image completed. No need to worry about perfect placement, since each piece of text becomes a new layer. GIMP’s text tool is the perfect way to do this, just click on each face in turn and type in a number. Thus the final step is to simply number each head. The outline view is where we want to be, but the whole point of the exercise is to make it easy to put names to faces. Move a point up to brighten the selected tones within the image, or move a point down to darken the tones. Step 2: Click along the white diagonal line to create adjustment points at various tone sections. I went for the easy option of simply boosting the overall image contrast, using ‘Colours -> Brightness/Contrast…’įor this image, setting the contrast to ’40’ worked well, vary according to the particular characteristics of the image Step 1: Open the Color menu and select Curves. There are a few ways we might get rid of this – in particular some of GIMPs noise removal filters. The outline looks pretty good, but there is still a fair amount of fine detail “noise”. The edge detection algorithm leaves some colour artifacts in the images, which are trivially dealt with by desaturating the image using ‘Colours -> Desaturate…’ and any one of the desaturation algorithms GIMP offers. This is easily achieved using the menu option ‘Colours -> Invert’ The previous image shows the outlines quite effectively, but my desire is for a primarily white image, with black outlines. After a little trial & error, I picked ‘Filters -> Edge-detect -> Edge.’, then chose the ‘Laplace’ algorithm. It was thought that one of the edge detection algorithms available in GIMP would be a good basis for providing a head outline. The master photo that we’ll be working with is ![]() Although already visible on Google+, along with tags to identify all the faces, I wanted to put up an outline view of the photo too, mostly so that I could then write this blog post describing how to create the head outline :-) The steps on this page were all performed using Fedora 17 and GIMP 2.8.2, but this should work with pretty much every version of GIMP out there since there’s nothing fancy going on. While there Jeff Cody acquired a photo of many of the KVM community developers. Two weeks back, I was in Barcelona for LinuxCon Europe / KVM Forum 2012.
