![]() ![]() After typing the text onto the frame, GIMP will create a floating selection, that you need to position right using the move tool and anchor using Ctrl+H. Then we’ll use the standard text tool to put a small text note on every frame. The first step will naturally be to copy our flattened image two times using the duplicate layer button in the layers window. I don’t want to make this boring, so lets make it three frames. Each frame will consist of the flower image and accompanied by some text. We will be creating a banner consisting of, say three lines of text being animated. Now we’re ready for the actual animation work. Once you’re ready flatten the image using the Image → Flatten Image. This part of the tutorial is not the key element, so feel free to experiment. In that layer mask i applied a b/w gradient, so that the left of the flower is not interlaced. I couldn’t resist adding the interlace effect using Filters → Render → Grid and a layer mask. After that I blurred the shadow using Gaussian blur RLE and offset it by 2px to bottom right. I just pasted the flower below the border frame, used alpha to selection, created an empty layer below it and filled the selection with black using Ctrl+. I have prepared a masked-out flower you see on the picture on the left. Now it’s time to put our logo or the main theme picture into the banner. We created a 1 px frame around out banner. Shrink the selection by 1 px ( Selection → shrink) and delete the selection with Ctrl+K. Select the whole image with Ctrl+A and fill it with black ( Ctrl+,). For now let us think about every layer as of a separate frame. We’ll discuss the two different frame disposal methods later on. Unlike it’s default composite function, using GIMP as an animation package requires you to think of every layer as of an animation frame. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use GIMP’s layers in a different manner. Also, since you mentione file-size, these are actually bigger than the original, colored one, which is interesting.Text and images Copyright (C) 2002 Jakub Steiner and may not be used without permission of the author. Go to Image>Mode>Grayscale (I think that’s what it’s called in english, not a 100 % sure, but it should at least be something in that vein).Īs the bottom line, I’d suggest gradient map, but there are a lot of different ways to go about it. ![]() Then go to Filters>Animation>Process Animstack tags. Use the bucket tool and fill it with grey, then set the layer mode as saturation and color. Create a new layer on top of all the frames, call it. This one does not require GAP, but Animstack. The whole cancel, ctrl+F is so that you don’t have to put in the value, -100, twice.Ĥ. Go to Filters>Filter all layers>plug-in-wr-huesat (it’s at the bottom), then apply constant, cancel, ctrl+F and put the saturation as -100. Put this:Ī bit over-exposed, right? You can play around with the settings, the sliders you see above, but this doesn’t seem to be the best method.ģ. Go to Filters>Filter all layers>plug-in-colors-channel-mixer, apply varying, cancel and ctrl+F. Then, assuming you have GAP (otherwise go here), go to Filters>Filter all layers>plug-in-gradmap, click apply constant and then ok and ok.Ģ. The colors shall look like this:Īnd clicking on the gradient icon in the left window, on the settings part that’s in the bottom of the left window, make it look like this (it’s the default): I’d start by basic coloring, making it black and white, and then some final adjustments.ġ. There are five ways to go about this, IDK which one’s the best. ![]()
