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.
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.
