In this Gimp Workshop we are going to apply a pop out effect.
If you want to follow along, you can find the download link
for the images in the video description.
When Gimp is open, we go to file, click open,
and here we search for the laptop image and open it.
Click on the zoom icon in the top right of the window to maximize the image.
Right click on the layer and click on add alpha channel.
Then we go to the toolbox and activate the paths tool.
Zoom very far in to the top left corner of the laptop screen
by holding the Ctrl key and rolling the mouse wheel.
Now click the first node, placing it more or less
on the inside of the edge of the screen, like so.
Then place the second node just around the corner,
hold the left mouse button down and drag it out a bit,
so you can make a curve with the handle.
When the curve looks good, you can let go of the left mouse button.
Now click and drag the handle back to its node,
and place it in the direction of the next to make node.
And that is all we need to know, to make a very precise selection with the paths tool.
Zoom out now.
Hold the space bar down and move the mouse without clicking,
to move the image to the next corner.
Let go of the space bar and zoom in again.
Then click a node just before the corner and let go of the mouse button.
The next node comes just around the corner.
Click and hold the left mouse button down while dragging the handle out,
and make another curve.
Then let go of the mouse.
Click and drag the handle back to its node,
and place it in the direction of the next to make node.
Zoom out again and move the image to the third corner.
Zoom in again.
Click another node.
Now click the next node just around this corner, hold the mouse button down,
drag out the handle and make the curve.
Then let go of the mouse and click and drag this handle back to its node,
and place it in the direction of the next to make node.
With Ctrl+Z we can undo the last action and try again.
Zoom out again and move the image to the last corner of the screen.
Zoom in again.
Click a node.
Then click the next node around the corner,
hold the mouse again and drag it out to make the curve.
Click and drag it back again.
Zoom out, move the image to the first node.
Zoom in again and place the cursor over the first node.
Hold the Ctrl key and when we see the connect chain icon,
we click in it to finish our path.
Go to view, zoom and click on fit image in window.
Now we can click on the button selection from path, or just hit enter to make our selection.
Go to select and hit feather.
We feather the selection with 5 pixels, so we can just click okay.
Go to edit and click on clear to remove the screen.
Now to select and here we click on none.
Then we click on a random tool to make the path invisible.
Go to file and click on open as layers.
We are going to bring the image with the baby into our project.
Search for it and open it.
Click and drag it below the laptop image.
Select the laptop layer and bring its opacity down to about 40.
Make the baby layer active.
Go to the menu bar, click on tools, transform tools and then on scale.
Click on the chain to lock it, so the proportions stay intact when we scale the image.
Make the image opacity about 40.
Now make the baby layer invisible by clicking the eye.
Scale the image like shown in the video.
Make sure that the baby hand is on the keyboard and,
the top of the head falls just outside the laptop screen.
We can move the image by click and drag the circle in the center.
When we think it looks good, we click on the scale button.
Make the baby layer visible again and activate the laptop layer.
Select the paths tool again.
Zoom in to the hand of the baby and click two nodes like so.
They should be within the edge of the screen.
Make the laptop layer invisible.
Now we can make a selection of the hand.
It looks like we are selecting the hand in the baby layer,
but we are actually selecting in the laptop layer.
Usually selecting works best when we stay just a little bit
within the boundarys of our subject.
For the sake of the tutorial we will go a bit fast forward.
When we are back at the first node, we place the last node over the first node,
press the Ctrl key and when we see the connect chain icon,
we click to close the path.
Press Ctrl+Shift+J to maximize the image in the window.
Click the button selection from path, or hit enter to make the selection.
Make the laptop layer visible, and make its opacity 100 again.
Go to select and click on feather.
Just click okay to feather the selection with 5 pixels.
Now go to edit and here we click on clear.
Then to select and click on none.
Click the smudge tool active.
Choose brush hardness 050, zoom in to the sleeve,
and smudge the edge a bit.
Now we are going to add some shadow.
Click on the dodge burn tool in the toolbox.
Leave the brush at hardness 050.
Make the size about 100.
Select the option burn and also the option highlights.
Make the exposure 100.
Make in one stroke a shadow on the laptop under the arm.
When we do multiple strokes, we get double shadows, like so.
I will undo this with Ctrl+Z, and make the shadow anew.
Then we can make some shadow on the keyboard under the hand.
Here we can click multiple times.
When it is to your liking, you can hit Ctrl+Shift+J again, to maximize the image.
To finish of, we will crop our image, to make it a bit more dynamic.
Activate the crop tool in the toolbox.
Select the option fixed aspect ratio.
Now make a cut out, more or less like so.
Click and drag the handles and or the corners, to make corrections,
and click and drag inside the image to move the cut out.
When you feel its okay, you can hit enter or click inside the cut out to crop the image.
Then press Ctrl+Shift+J again.
And there we have it; a nice pop out image.
