I feel like I got the toy in the cereal box after watching this video. GIMP is such a good program. I actually prefer working with GIMP than with Photoshop.
Thank you for the tips. The design in this tutorial is inspired! As always, your instruction pace is great and your diction is nice and clear. I recommend you to everyone I know who uses GIMP!
I'll be so happy when Gimp allows you to doc two windows side by side and you can clone from one while being able to see both window side by side and clone on top of the other window like in Photoshop. I wish we had the option to light a photo from beneath like Photoshop had in the beginning. This is another major reason I switched I don't like their new way of using light on photos. I used to pay for Photoshop but didn't like being manipulated in order to use their programming when I knew Gimp was out there and it has come along way since it's inception. Thanks for these tips the First one will help me tremendously in my projects.
Wow... Thank you Davies!!! Once I get those buffering steps down, i will be saving loads of time and frustrations. ❤ And how to keep those edges in circles & edges nice and even will come in handy also. Great Tutorial!!
I was not able to replicate the first trick. The partial transparency areas retained the old colour, even when I locked the alpha channel. Then I noted that in the video, there are two layers, the lower one forming the white background, while the upper one is a transparency with circles filled with colour. I got it working with this set up. Alternatively, Layer > Transparency > Colour to Alpha on the top layer, and then try filling with new colour after locking the alpha channel
I am afraid GIMP does not have anything quite like those two things at the moment although things may change as the developers keep adding features based on the GEGL library. For now, we must assume that pretty much every action is still destructive.
@@RogerioPereiradaSilva77 yes, i am very much looking forward to version 3.2 although i dunno how long its going to come out. Oh well, i guess i can use photopea for something like a smart object / non-destructive editing
9:12 I'm wondering why you had to do that. Whenever I switch tool modes, they normally stay switched till I manually switch it back or restart gimp, but it looks like you somehow got switched back to "replace current selection" automatically. Is that some kind of trick of video editing or is there some setting you have that does it or what?
Technically yes - but it's a workaround. Duplicate you main image, turn the saturation up to the highest point you want your image to be saturated. Add a black layer mask to the duplicate image with the turned up saturation. Paint white or middle-gray anywhere you want increased saturation (white for more saturation, middle-gray for less).
@@DaviesMediaDesign Thanks, I'm still fumbling around learning Gimp. I have the PhotoGimp working. Next is how to get my Nik collection instaled to use with PhotoGimp. I really appreciate your teaching. Best Wishes

I learn more and more everytime I load up GIMP!

@Israel Coen Shame on you!
WHAAAAATT!!! That first one is insane. Thank you so much for sharing!
I audibly went like "WHAT!?"
very skilled teacher - good pace - splendid explanations - a real pro ! Thanks
GIMP is such a great software, and here with these tricks, you proove it again!
Thank you very much, these are very useful features.
That buffering tool is AMAZING. Saved so much headaches. Thank you!!

Thank You Very much
Thanks! Dragging and dropping the colour seemed really helpful to me.

The one with copying multiple pictures at once will be really useful, I didn't know that you can do that
Great Video
All Right !! ...excellent video !!
Brilliant! I can't wait to try these out myself! Do you know if the "buffer" feature exists in GIMP 2.8? Thanks for posting!
It does and works exactly the same way as described here.
Very handy! Thanks for sharing.
YOU TRICKS ARE AWESOME
Thanks heaps! Lots of great tips that I'll find extra useful. 👏

Thumbs UP!
Good tutorial nice tricks
Is this series of tutorials the same as the masterclass you offer on Udemy?
Great Thanks!
How nice it would be to have the option to lock inactive layers automatically.
HII DAVIES IAM RISHU FROM INDIA I AM YOUR BIG FAN PLEASE REPLY TO ME
Trick 3: How did you blur the borders of the circles?
do you have any substitute / tricks for Adjustment Layers and smart objects for GIMP ?

What are the specs of your laptop??? what do you think about gaming ???
I love gaming - I've done a few gaming streams on Twitch, would like to do more. Will put up a blog soon on my laptop specs.

I’m not sure why it was doing that to me - it was annoying me to be honest lol. Not a trick, just a glitch.
I used the brush on saturation in PS CS6. Can this be done in GimpPhoto?
Technically yes - but it's a workaround. Duplicate you main image, turn the saturation up to the highest point you want your image to be saturated. Add a black layer mask to the duplicate image with the turned up saturation. Paint white or middle-gray anywhere you want increased saturation (white for more saturation, middle-gray for less).

can you make a video where or how to download brushes

Why are all your fingers the same size???
Is it just me or do you really look like Mysterio from Spiderman ?
I tried the first trick. It didn't work to me. I don't know why.
