Hello,
I have just begun using Gimp a couple of nights ago.
I was inspired to try it by viewing rbdflyboy threads on the Linux Lite forum, he told me about GimpChat tonight.
So far in Gimp I have added one plugin (resynthesizer), have not used it yet,I got this to follow a tutorial for removing a tattoo on a person, I want to try it on stock photo of a scar on skin on a persons back in the same location the tutorial uses for the tattoo.
I have also added one brush set (fuzzy brushes from an earlier version of Gimp it said).
I have attempted a first project following a tutorial - cutting a person from a photo and placing them onto the background of another photo. It went quite well for a first project and I'm happy with the results, I would like to get much better at this task in the future.
I wasn't able to remove the bits of background from the hair with the fuzzy brush following the tutorial as instead of removing white background it was painting a black line, I was unsure how to correct my error, so instead I cut off some of the persons hair and reshaped it a bit, so I could move them to the other background and scale/resize.
I then cropped that photo to a smaller size, as cropping and scaling/resizing is something I do often with my own photos so needed to learn how to do this in Gimp. It is far easier to do in Gimp
The scaling went fine, I am unsure if the scale tool maintains aspect ratio by default, or if I need to activate this ?
