In this Gimp Workshop we are going to make an orange tea composition.
So, relax and have fun!
We will start by making a new canvas on which we can work.
Go to file, and new.
Make the width 3200 and the height 2000.
Click okay.
Back to file and now to open as layers.
In the open image dialog box we search for the image of the teapot, and open it.
There is a download link for the images of this tutorial in the video description.
Again to file and open as layers and now we open the image of the orange.
In case there pops up a dialog box with the question
if we want to convert the image to RGB, we can click convert.
Go to the toolbox and make the unified transform tool active.
In the tool options we change the image opacity to about 70.
Click in the image.
When we hold the Ctrl key and roll the mouse wheel we can zoom in and or out.
Scale the image with the handles on the sides, the bottom and the top of the framework.
Use the diamond handles in the corners to scale a bit further.
The orange should cover the teapot, but it does not have to be precise.
We will delete the teapot layer later on.
Click transform.
Because we will eventually make more then 20 layers,
we make the layers panel bigger, like so.
In that way we will have a better overview.
Make two duplicates of the orange image, by clicking the duplicate button twice.
Double click on the top layer and name it handle.
Hit enter.
Double click on the layer below it and name this one nozzle.
Hit enter again.
While the unified transform tool is still active, we click in the image.
By click and drag inside the framework we can move the image over the nozzle.
We can also scale it a bit further down.
We can click on the underlined arrowhead to detach the dialog box from the canvas.
Now we can move it out of the way.
Then hit transform.
Click on the handle layer and then in the image.
Move and scale this layer over the handle.
Click transform.
Make the orange layer, the nozzle layer and the handle layer invisible,
by clicking there eyes.
Now we are going to make a selection.
This can be done in many ways of course.
In this tutorial I have used the paths tool.
Click on the paths tool icon to make it active.
In the top of your screen there is a link to a short tutorial
about the basics of the paths tool.
Make a path around the handle.
When this is done, we make a path around the nozzle.
Just move the image, by holding the space bar and then move the mouse.
When the paths are made, we press Ctrl+Shift+J to maximize the image in the window.
Now click the button selection from path, to make the selection.
Then we hit the B key, to hide the path.
The paths tool stays active.
Make all layers visible again by clicking their eyes.
Go to select, feather and feather the selection with 5 pixels.
Then hit Ctrl+I to invert the selection.
Now we have selected the background.
Hit the delete key to remove the background from the handle.
Click the nozzle layer active, and then the delete key.
Now we press Ctrl+Shift+A to deselect our selection.
In the next step we will make the lid of the teapot.
Make the orange layer active.
With the paths tool still active, we make a path like shown in the video.
Then hit the selection from path button.
Hit the B key.
Go to select, feather and feather this selection also with 5 pixels.
Right click in the image, go to edit and hit cut.
Right click in the image again, go to edit and now we click on paste as new layer.
Double click on the name and rename it lid.
Press enter.
Make this layer invisible, and make the handle layer active.
In this way the next layer will automatically be placed above this one.
Press Ctrl+Shift+A to deselect.
Now we go to file again, and open as layers.
Open the 03fill image.
Press Shift+T to activate the unified transform tool.
We scale this layer, like shown in the video, so it fits nicely on top of the pot.
Then we can click transform.
Click in the toolbox on the eraser tool.
Choose brush hardness 025.
We can leave the tool options to their default settings.
Now we can erase the edge of the fill, like so.
With Ctrl+Z we can undo and with Ctrl+Y we can redo.
When this looks good, we can press Ctrl+Shift+J to make the whole image visible.
After that, we make the lid layer visible and move it to the top of the layers stack.
Press Shift+T again to bring up the unified transform tool.
Click and drag inside the framework to move it.
And click and drag outside the framework to rotate it a bit, like so.
Click transform.
Now we make the paintbrush active.
We reduce the opacity to 10.
Brush 025 should still be active.
We make the size about 1000.
Right click on the orange layer, and hit alpha to selection.
In this way everything that is not transparent is selected.
Then we click on the new layer button.
We name it shadow orange, the mode should be normal, and the fill transparency.
Hit okay.
We can now make shadows on the orange, like so.
In this way, only the selection is affected.
Reduce the brush size to about 100.
We make a darker shadow at the bottom.
Right click on the nozzle layer, and hit alpha to selection.
Make another new layer, and name this one shadow nozzle.
Make some shadow on the nozzle.
When making shadows, we should pay attention to the natural flow of the light,
as much as possible.
Go ahead and right click on the handle layer, and hit alpha to selection again.
Make a new layer, name it shadow handle.
And make some shadow.
Right click on the fill layer, and on alpha to selection.
Hit the new layer button, name it shadow fill.
Make the brush size about 400.
Now we make the shadow below the lid on the fill, like so.
Right click on the lid layer, and once more we hit alpha to selection.
Make another new layer, name it shadow lid.
And make a shadow on the lid.
We make just enough shadow to make a bit contrast between the lid and the orange.
Press the B key, to activate the paths tool.
Then click on the nozzle layer, and make the opacity 50.
Zoom in and make a path, like so.
Now hit the selection from path button.
Make the opacity of the nozzle layer 100 again.
Then we go to colors, and brightness and contrast.
Make the brightness about 100.
Click okay.
Then we go to select in the menu bar and here we click on shrink.
We shrink the selection with 10 pixels, and click okay.
Back to colors and brightness and contrast.
Now we reduce the brightness to about minus 70.
And click okay.
Click on the little arrow at the foreground/background colors, to swap them.
We now have white as our foreground color.
Go to edit, stroke selection.
Make sure that the option stroke line is checked.
Now can stroke the selection with 3 pixels.
Click stroke.
Hit the arrow again, so we have black as our foreground color.
Click on the paintbrush, make the size about 50.
Then we can make the opening a bit darker on one side.
Press Ctrl+Shift+A to deselect and press Ctrl+Shift+J to fit the image in the window.
We can now delete the teapot layer.
Click on it and then on the cross at the bottom of the layers panel.
Activate the orange layer.
Click on the color picker in the toolbox to make it active.
When we move the eyedropper over the orange in the image,
we can pick a medium orange color, like so.
In the foreground/background button, we can see our color.
Back to the toolbox and now we make the gradient tool active.
Our orange color is already visible.
Click on the gradient and choose the option FG to BG (RGB).
Make sure that the gradient goes from white to yellow.
If not, we can click the reverse button.
Make the shape radial.
Click on the background layer.
Now we can click in the center of our image and drag out the gradient, like so.
When we place the mouse pointer on the line, there appears a little dot.
We can grab this and move it to make corrections in the gradient.
When we feel it looks good, we hit enter to confirm.
Select the top layer.
Then we go to file, open as layers and open the image smoke.
We change the mode to screen.
This merges the colors, except the black which becomes invisible.
Press Shift+T for the unified transform tool.
We can click on the underlined arrowhead to detach the dialog box from the canvas.
Now we can move it out of the way.
Now we can scale, move and rotate the smoke image.
When this is to our liking, we click transform.
Then we can reduce the opacity a bit, maybe to about 60.
Select the shadow fill layer.
Click on the new layer button, name it string and click okay.
Activate the paintbrush.
Press the X key so we have white as the foreground color.
Make the opacity 100.
Choose brush cell 02 and make its size 15.
Now we activate the paths tool and we make a path like so.
This path should begin under the lid.
Then we click on the button stroke path.
Check the option stroke with a paint tool.
When we stroke the path, it will be with the options of the paintbrush
which we have set before.
Click stroke.
We now have a string with a sort of a structure.
Make a new layer, and name it shadow string.
Then we hit the B key, to hide the path.
With the paths tool still active, we make a path where the shadow will come.
Now we hit the D key to set the foreground/background colors back to their default.
Hit the button stroke path.
This time we check the option stroke line, and we make the line width 18 pixels.
Click stroke.
Press the B key.
Make the opacity of this layer 50.
Click file and open as layers.
Open the 05 tea label.
Press Shift+T, or click the icon in the toolbox, .
to make the unified transform tool active again.
Click in the label.
Scale and reposition the label, like so.
Click transform.
Make a duplicate by pressing the duplicate button.
Double click on the name and rename it tea label shadow.
Hit enter.
Right click on the layer and hit alpha to selection.
Now we can drag the black of the foreground color into the image.
Press Ctrl+Shift+A to deselect.
Then we go to filters, blur and gaussian blur.
We blur the shadow with 5 pixels and click okay.
Click and drag this layer below the tea label layer.
Press Shift+T to bring up the unified transform tool and move the shadow like so.
Click transform.
Reduce the opacity to about 75.
Make the top layer active, so the next layer comes above that one.
In the following step we will bring in some chocolates.
Go to file again, and to open as layers.
Open image 06 choco.
Click in the image so we have the framework of the unified transform tool again.
Now we scale the chocolates a bit down and move them, like so.
When we feel its okay, we can click transform.
Then we make a duplicate of this layer by clicking the duplicate button.
Change the name to 06 choco reflection and hit enter.
Click in the chocolates, and transform it like shown in the video.
Then we can hit transform.
We make the opacity about 70.
And finally we bring in the image of the orange parts.
Back to file and to open as layers.
Open the image 07 fruits.
And again we can click in the image, scale it down a bit and move it to its proper position.
Make a duplicate, and rename it 07 fruit reflection.
Click in the fruit and transform it to make the reflection.
Here to we reduce the opacity to about 70.
Click on the orange layer and make a duplicate.
Name it orange reflection.
Then we click in the image and transform this one also.
Make the opacity again somewhere around 70.
We are almost there now.
Go to the toolbox and make the eraser tool active.
Change the opacity to 50, and pick brush hardness 025.
We make the size 1000.
Now erase a bit of the orange reflection.
Make the fruits reflection layer active and do the same.
After that we make the choco reflection layer active and here to we erase a bit of the reflection.
Go for the last time to the toolbox and click on the paintbrush.
Make the opacity 20.
Choose brush block 02.
Then we change the hardness to 20
.We make the size about 400.
Click on the new layer button and name the layer shadows reflections.
Hit okay.
Now we can make shadows below the chocolates, the teapot and the fruit.
Because we have used multiple layers, we can easily make corrections and changes,
without having to make the whole image again.
And there we have our orange tea!
