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!

Installing Python for GIMP 2.6

Does GIMP come with Linux distributions?

As GIMP is open-source software, it’s shipped with all major linux distributions, for instance:

Debian/GNU
Fedora Core
OpenSUSE
Ubuntu, Kubuntu

Most of them come with GIMP 2.6 yet, but for instance, Fedora 17 will already contain GIMP 2.8 (so the beta does).

Of course it’s always possible to compile GIMP 2.8 yourself or get it from third-party package sources (if available).

How to install GIMP on Linux

Use your distributions package management tool (it may be called Software Center, YaST, etc.) to install GIMP, if it is not installed already.

Download: GIMP 2.6 / 2.8 (Ubuntu)

2010-06-23T00:00:00Z

GIMP 2.6 is available since Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), but not installed by default.

Unfortunately, GIMP 2.8 didn’t make it into Ubuntu 12.04.

Ubuntu version	GIMP version	in default install
10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)	2.6.x	no
11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot)	2.6.x	no
12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin)	2.6.x	no

Install GIMP 2.6 using Software Center

1. Open Software Center
2. Look for “GIMP”
3. Install
4. Ready! You can now launch GIMP using your graphical environment like any other application.

Install GIMP 2.8

To get GIMP 2.8 with Ubuntu 12.04, there are (at least) two possibilities:

compile it yourself
take it from a PPA, for example
otto06217 » gimp auf launchpadnet (installation instructions on the page)
