GIMP 2.3 Tutorial - Face Replace (Part 1)
|
|
A decent reference but it does not explain how just what. For how you will need more detailed books. I bought it at a bookstore for two dollars and it was worth it. Ten dollars was the original price and I don't think it would have been worth that much.
This is a very good quick reference guide to the GIMP, although it is slightly out-of-date already (but that's the nature of Open Source software development).
...
This guide informs designers working in a Linux/Unix or Windows environment with a powerful and complex image manipulation tool.
The GIMP, a free Open Source image editor and a design application that approximates Photoshop in terms of functionality and power, runs on most *nix platforms.

While this was not what I was hoping for, it is an excellent introduction to the GIMP. Basic concepts are covered in some detail, and more advanced topics are commented on (mostly, it seems, to give an idea of just how powerful this program really is). The author also frequently advises experimentation, which is really the only way to learn a program like this.
Especially useful (to me, anyway) was the admittedly brief coverage on how the GIMP differs from other equivalent programs, especially those from the Mac and Windows worlds.

You will find the last 2:21 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... video shows how to use some basic image editing techniques to replace the face in an image with another face. If you have any questions, I will be glad to help you, but *please* be specific and detailed in your question, otherwise it risks being ignored.== Keyboard shortcuts mentioned ==Ctrl-L:Show the Layers Dialog.Hold Ctrl (when scaling):Maintain aspect ratio.+,-:Zoom in/outHold Middle Mouse Button and move:Pan (move within) image.],[:Increase,decrease radius. (New functionality, you might not have it in your version.)Ctrl-Z:Undo.==Swedish pronunciation dictionary==roofly = roughlyfuture = feature==Technical details==The video was recorded with recordMyDesktop using GIMP 2.3.16 on Ubuntu 7.04 beta, and scaled/sharpened/encoded with MEncoder, using this command:mencoder face-replace.ogg -vf scale=320:240,smartblur=4:-0.5:-10 -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -af volume=30 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=2000:vqm n=2:keyint=50 -o gimp-tutorial-face-replace.aviAfter encoding it, I discovered that Directors can't upload videos longer than 10 minutes anymore :(, so I used MEncoder to losslessly split it in two parts.Feel free to spread the video in YouTube-embedded format as much as you like.
