In this Gimp Workshop tutorial we are going to make a soap bubble,
with several hummingbirds in it and around it.
When you want to follow along, the download link for the images used in this video,
is in the description.
When Gimp is open, we can open our image folder and select all five images,
by holding the Shift key and clicking on the thumbnails.
Now we click and drag the first image into Gimp.
When there pops up a dialog box, with the question
whether we want to apply the PNG offset, we can just click ignore.
All five images will open as separate images, with the woman image visible.
Click on view, zoom and fit image in window to maximize the image in the window.
We will first make the background a bit less distracting.
Make, in the toolbox, the clone tool active.
Make sure that you have the default settings.
If not, we can click on this icon at the bottom of the tool options to reset them.
Choose brush hardness 050, and make the size about 500.
Place the mouse pointer in the image on an areas that can serve as our source area.
At the bottom of the image window there appear tips,
depending on where we place our mouse pointer.
Hold the Ctrl key, and click one time.
In this way we have set our source.
Now we can move the brush to a spot that we want to replace.
Click a few times, to see the effect.
When we click and hold the left mouse button,
and then move the mouse, the clone source moves also.
So we have to pay attention to where the source is, or this can happen.
With Ctrl+Z we can undo this.
We can also just click again and again on different areas,
and in that way the clone source stays in its place.
To make a new source, we just hold the Ctrl key again and click one time.
Fill the distracting area like shown in the video.
When we are satisfied with the result, we go back to the toolbox
and we make the warp transform tool active.
Here too we better check whether the options are at their default.
Make sure that the option move pixels is active.
Then we make the brush size 300.
Zoom in and or out by holding the Ctrl key and then rolling the mouse wheel.
Now we can make the bubble a bit more round, like so.
Then we change move pixels to grow area,
and we change the size to about 1000.
Make the hardness 80.
Then we can, by clicking multiple times in the center of the bubble,
make a nice big round soap bubble.
Make sure not to transform the blower itself.
When this is to our liking, we have to press enter, to confirm.
Otherwise we would loose the effect when we are moving on with another tool or layer.
Press Ctrl+Shift+J, to fit the image in the window.
Now we click on the thumbnail of the 02 image to make it visible in the image window.
Right click on the layer and hit add alpha channel.
Although it is not very good visible, the font changes form bold to regular,
which indicates that we now can have transparency in this layer.
We will make a selection of the hummingbird with the paths tool,
so we click on the paths tool icon in the toolbox.
If you are not familiar with this tool,
there is a link in the top right corner of your screen, to a short tutorial.
This video shows in just a few minutes a very simple and basic technique for the paths tool.
Making a selection usually works best when we stayboundaries
just a little bit within the of our subject.
When we hold the space bar, the mouse pointer changes into the move tool.
We can now, by moving the mouse without clicking, move the image.
Then we can let go of the spacebar again.
At the wings we have to improvise a bit,
but we will work on them further in a moment.
For the sake of the tutorial we go a bit fast forward.
When the path is made, we press Ctrl+Shift+J to fit the image in the window again.
Then we hit the button selection from path to make the selection.
Click on the smudge tool, because we will work with that tool in a minute.
The path is now invisible.
Go to select in the menu bar, and click feather.
We feather the selection with 5 pixels and click okay.
Back to select and now to invert.
We have now selected the background, instead of the hummingbird.
Go to edit and click on clear, so the background is removed,
and because we have added an alpha channel, it is now transparent.
Again to select and now we hit none, to deselect the selection.
In the tooloptions we choose brush hardness 025.
We make the size about 50.
Now we smudge the edge at the bottom of both wings a bit, like so.
In the next step we will make selections of the wings.
Make in the toolbox the free select tool active.
Now we can make a selection of one of the wings, like so.
Click the last point over the first point.
When this turns yellow, we can hit enter,
or double click inside the selection to apply it.
Go to edit and click on copy.
Back to edit and now we click on paste as new layer.
Double click on the name and rename it right wing.
Hit enter.
Now we place this layer, by click and drag, below the hummingbird layer.
Again to the menu bar and now to select.
Here we click on none, to deselect the selection.
Make the unified transform tool active,
and make sure that you have the default options.
Click in the image.
Rotate the wing a bit, by click and drag outside the framework,
and move it by click and drag inside the framework, like so.
Click transform.
Go to filters, blur and gaussian blur.
We make the blur radius 8, and click okay.
Reduce the opacity to about 70.
Then we click on the duplicate button to make a duplicate of this layer.
Click and drag it to the bottom of the layers stack,
and make the opacity about 50.
Go to filters and hit repeat gaussian blur.
Make the unified transform tool active,
and click in the image.
And again, we move and rotate it a bit, like so.
Then hit transform.
Make a duplicate of this layer, and click again in the image.
Move and rotate it like shown in the video.
Now we will do the same with the left wing.
Make the hummingbird layer active.
Click on the free select tool, and make a selection, like so.
Go to edit and hit copy, back to edit and now to paste as new layer.
Rename it left wing,
and move it below the hummingbird layer.
Press Ctrl+Shift+A to deselect.
Click on the unified transform tool and then in the image.
Move and rotate the wing, and click transform.
Go to filters again and hit repeat gaussian blur.
Change the opacity to about 70.
And here too we make a duplicate.
Change the opacity to about 50.
Click in the image for the unified transform tool.
Rotate and move this layer also, and click transform.
Back to filters and repeat gaussian blur.
And once more we make a duplicate.
The we click in the image again and move and rotate this layer to above the left wing.
Click transform.
When all this is to our liking,
we right click on one of the layers and hit merge visible layers.
In the dialog box that pops up, we can just click merge.
Now we can click and drag the thumbnail of this image,
via the thumbnail of the image with the woman, into our project.
Double click on the name of the layer and rename it bird left.
Hit enter.
Make the flip tool active, and click in the image to flip it horizontally.
Then we make the unified transform active,
and we click in the image to bring the framework up again.
Hold the shift key, to constrain the proportions and scale the image down.
Then we can move it to its proper position.
When this looks good, we click transform.
Time now to bring in the second hummingbird.
Click and drag its thumbnail via the thumbnail of the woman image, into the project.
The background is already removed from this image.
Double click on the name and rename it bird right.
Hit enter.
Click in the image for the unified transform tool.
Scale it, while holding the Shift key.
Then move and rotate it more or less like so.
And hit the transform button.
And finally we bring in the image with the three birds,
by click and drag the thumbnail,
via the woman thumbnail into our project.
Rename the layer three birds and hit enter.
And again, click in the image, scale it while holding the shift key.
Move and rotate it, so the birds fit nicely in the soap bubble.
Then we hit the transform button.
Make the woman layer active.
Then click on the ellipse select tool.
Make a selection of the bubble, like so,
but make sure to stay a little bit inside the boundaries.
With the handles and the corners we can make corrections,
and by click and drag inside the selection,
we can move the whole selection.
Hit enter or click inside the selection to apply it.
Now we go to select and hit feather.
We feather the selection with 10 pixels and click okay.
Back to edit and now to copy.
And once more back to edit and now we click on paste as new layer.
Change the name of the new layer to bubble.
Hold the Shift key, click on the upwards pointing arrow at the bottom of the layers stack,
so it is placed on the top of the layers stack.
Press Ctrl+Shift+A to deselect the selection.
Make in the toolbox the eraser tool active.
Choose brush hardness 075.
We change the size to about 7 or 800.
This depends on the size of the bubble itself.
Click once or twice in the center of the bubble to make it transparent.
And because we have a soft edge brush,
the edges are less transparent then the center.
Hit Ctrl+Shift+J to fit the image in the window.
To finish of, we will add a little sparkling star.
Bring the last image into the project by click and drag its thumbnail
via the thumbnail of the woman image into the project.
Double click on the name and rename it star.
Make the unified transform tool for the last time active.
Zoom in by holding the Ctrl key and rolling the mouse wheel.
Click in the image.
Now scale and move the star, like so.
Click transform.
Then we click on the woman layer, to make the yellow dotted line invisible,
and we press Ctrl+Shift+J to fit the image in the window.
And there it is, our soap bubble image with hummingbirds.
