Good morning from whitefish. Today so far I have seen deer, a fox, an eagle and an assortment of birds. It appears something was hit by the train last night.

Q2week 6

I hope this post finds you all well. So by now you have completed one word search/ vocabulary assignment and class activity. On Monday I flew to Montana to visit with my son and his fiancé. The weather here is cloudy with a high of 32. Quite a bit different than upland.  I went into a hardware/ sporting goods store to buy long underwear because of the cold against my jeans.  I just had 4 deer walk by. Missed the photo though.  Here is a view from the house I am staying

Week 10 October 27 - Nov 1 . POP OUT GIMP

GIMP - POP Out Effect  2 IMages

Here is my first attempt at the Pop Out effect. I failed in two areas. 

1st I did not recognize that when I moved my top image that it

 did not fit in the phone screen all the way. 

2nd I had way too many things to try to curve around. 

Start with something easy.

                               

Here is an example of one that worked better.

                                    

Step by Step instructions…..

Example Video….. POP OUT

Another Example   Pop OUt

1  Import background picture. For this example, 

the import is the picture of a cell phone.

2  Click on the image of the cell phone in the layer toolbar box to

 the right while holding down the control key of the keyboard 

and select ADD ALPHA CHANNEL. This will give you transparency

 beneath the current image.

3  Select the  Paths tool

4  You will be going around the image of the cell phone screen clicking

 on the mouse twice at each corner.  To close the path you will hold 

down the  Command Key on your keyboard and click your mouse

 in the original path click you made. This will complete the selection.

5  You will now make adjustments to each curve at each corner. 

It is best to zoom in on the corners while you make these changes. 

 When complete go back to the magnification you began with.

6  Select Return on the keyboard, this will make the selection look

 like marching ants Dotted line.

7  Once selection made, go to EDIT pull-down Menu, select CLEAR. 

You should now have a blank screen.

8 Now select Select pull-down Menu, select NONE. 

This will remove the dotted line.

9 If you would like to use this image again. 

SAVE NOW - Do a SAVE AS and save  as an XCF

 file to your desktop.

10 Go Find the image you like to use as the feature image.

11  Drag the image from the desktop to the GIMP image

12  Then click and drag the image icon in the layer toolbar 

 placing it below the phone icon.

13  Click back on the phone layer and take 

the opacity down to 50 % or so.

14  Click back on the subject photo and then click 

on the move button in the toolbar and move 

the photo into a position that you like so it is coming out of the screen.

15  Using the Paths tool again go around the subject you want to 

appear to be sticking out of the camera.

16  Remember to close the loop by clicking on the start point and
clicking command and click the mouse. The entire object you went
around should now have a continuous line around it.

17  You can now go between each circle object and smooth

 out the curves like above.

18  Select Return on the keyboard, this will make the selection

 look like marching ants Dotted line.

19  Once selection made, go to the EDIT pull-down Menu,

 select CLEAR. You should now have a blank screen.

20  Now select Select pull-down Menu, select NONE. 

This will remove the dotted line.

21  You should now be complete, let me know

 of any problems, you may have.
