Tutorial: Create a colored zig zag pattern!

2011-12-11T17:34:44Z

This tutorial is a very simple one showing a way to create a interesting zig zag pattern in GIMP. It has no special sense, but it is well usable in various ways (webdesign, background for something, etc).

Tutorial: Create the Dragan effect

2011-12-07T15:38:37Z

The so called "Dragan" effect is a technique that is usually made through photography with special lights and some soft post production. It is an effect that relies on heavy/extreme (but specific) contrasts. The technqiue itself is pretty easy, but it is pretty nice if you pay attention to some basic things. The effect is a little "plastic" and looking unnatural, but thats the way why people look at it twice. As a basis mostly portrait photos are used where it looks best. The original art of this comes from Andrzej Dragan. See link to his website to the right.

Tutorial: Create an amazing electricity effect on any object!

2011-12-06T12:41:29Z

In this tutorial I'll show you an effect that is pretty electrifying =) We're going to set an object under power and create lots of flashes on it. I'll show the effect on a car, but you can use every object.

Poll: Is GIMP an adequate application for you to create printed graphics like flyers, advertisments etc?

Tutorial: Extreme colors for your photos

2011-09-29T01:14:18Z

This technique (I call it "extreme colorize" myself ;)) combines lots of different layer masks with selective color correction to create a really colorful photo. The result is somehow a HDR like or DRI (dynamic range increase) like effect. Hope you like it!

Tutorial: Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Dissolve text into particles

2011-09-27T16:00:36Z

This tutorial shows you how to dissolve text into fine particles of dust. The text should not have equal amount of same-sized particles/dust, instead it should look like as it dissolves more and more into even finer dust until it finally disappears.

Poll: Are you interested in web design (creating graphical mockups/templates) using GIMP?

Tutorial: Create an animated radar with GAP

2011-07-24T15:55:04Z

GAP stands for "GIMP Animation Package" and like its name says it's a package of plug-ins for gimp to create and work on animations. That's the actual reason for this new tutorial. In Reitermaniac's tutorial the animated parts of the radar are duplicated, organized and rotated manually. No doubt a very exhausting work, which can be done by GAP. Besides it makes it possible to create more frames without any additional effort. This way the animation gets smoother and we can put more effort into the design. Enough of talking! I hope you'll have much fun and motivation in this tutorial!

Contest: Create a Smudge Painting from a photo!

2011-05-10T20:23:41Z

The smudge painting technique is generally an nice way to create very beautiful paintings based on real photographies. In this technique you're mainly using the smudge tool of GIMP to manually smear/smudge parts of the photo to make it look painted (we've a useful tutorial on the site too!, see link below in the "rules"). The task of this contest is to create such a smudge painting on a photo of your choice! Any photo is possible, however, animals and people are always a very good way to start with ;) Also you can create 3 different paintings if you want and upload them all to our contest system, so you can try some things out.

Contest: Create your own GIMP 2.8-Splash Screen!

2011-01-08T15:11:39Z

A so-called *splash screen* is an image that is shown when launching an application/program on your computer. GIMP is using a standard-splash screen too, but it is pretty easy to change it to another one by yourself. Of course you have to create such a splash screen by yourself now for the upcoming version of GIMP (which will be 2.8) :) Thats what this contest is about. Make your very own splash screen and upload up to 3 of them to our contest system. If one of the submitted splashes is great there is also a chance to have it included as new standard splash-screen or maybe for development-versions of GIMP! However the developers will decide this and we don't have influence on this!
