Gimp drawing behind photo11/22/2023 Your path should look something like the one on the right. You can adjust the points’ places if you can’t get them right at the first try, see the Path tutorial for more information on that. (If this causes you trouble, don’t worry. Imagine the blue cube on the right side into your canvas, we’ll be doing side #1 now.Ĭhoose the Path tool and make something like the side #1 on the blue cube, think about the perspective. If it is not selected, click the layer’s name in the dialog. Make sure you have the new layer active by checking the layers-dialog. Now create a new transparent layer, and name it Left_side so you know what layer I’ll talk about later on. You can also get these tabs using Dialogs -> Layers and Dialogs -> Paths. This dock is present in the default GIMP installation. During this tutorial, you will have to use the Layers tab and optionally the Paths tab from the dock “Layers, Channels, Paths, Undo”. Make the size 256x256 pixels and choose RGB for the type. Let’s get started! ¶įirst we must create a new image for our creation. If you are new to GIMP I suggest you to go to the GIMP homepage in and first read through the Documentation section there. Paths are covered in my other tutorial, and I recommend you to read it before going further if you find the material here confusing. I was thinking about this, and I did not want to make this an ‘entry level’ thing, basically to avoid bloating this too big and duplicating other people’s work. You should be familiar with GIMP’s dialogs and menus. Notice! This is not a ‘back to basics’ -tutorial. I hope you get some help and new stuff to put in your GIMP Tricks Sack :) I personally use this technique for nearly all my work. I will concentrate on the Path tool since I find it so useful for this purpose. This tutorial is about making simple geometrical shapes with GIMP. Polygonal shapes are especially useful when painting some geometric objects, as you can draw one side at a time (into different layers if you want). But you can also use paths to create different polygonal shapes if you don’t ‘pull out the handles’. Maybe the best thing in it is the smooth, beautiful curves it produces. The Path Tool (replacing the old Bezier Selection tool) can be used in many creative ways. Text and images Copyright (C) 2002 Tuomas Kuosmanen and may not be used without permission of the author.
