Episode 117:Digital GND?
00:00 Hello and invitation to OGG camp at Wolverhampton
01:50 Luigi (MTG member) asks about the GND (Graduated Neutral Density) Filter. Rolf explains the construction of a real filter.
03:00 Introduce RayAdagio’s photo of of a beach scene and points to the different exposures to better show beach and sky.
03:45 Rolf introduces a layermask and explains the purpose of white and black in the mask. He creates a crude layermask to show both sky and beach to their best advantage.
05:10 Starts to introduce the gradient or blend tool.
05.57 Shows further workings of the gradient tool.
08:15 Back to the original beach scene. Tries different gradients in the layermask to get a reasonable fit. Explains the use of the control key to limit angles to 15 degrees. (easy way to draw perpendiculars or normals to a horizontal)
10:30 Rolf talks about the perfect layermask but concedes that it is time consuming.
11:10 Discusses the possibility and merits of a script or plugin with a GUI.
13:15 Rolf alters the gradient layermask with manual painting to follow the contour of the dunes.
15:15 show the finished mask with painted corrections.

  1. The Table of Contents page
    http://blog.meetthegimp.org/table-of-contents/
    has links to some episodes, starting with episode #14
    http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/meetthegimp/%7E3/180243676/
    which translates to
    feeds.feedburner.com/~r/meetthegimp/~3/180243676/
    which is expanded as
    blog.meetthegimp.orgepisode-14-liquid-rescaling-seam-carving-and-cows
    (I’m using Firefox 9.0.1).
    Note the missing ‘/’ between meetthegimp.org and the start of the episode…

  2. I am 82 years old and I am deeply grateful to Rolf Steinort et al for the trouble they have taken in making Meet the GIMP.
    I have two monitors with the Tutorial on one whilst I try to follow the procedure on the other. However, I would like to copy the original photo to follow exactly as possible the various steps. Are these photos available please?

    • Thank you!

      You can find the original images in most companion files. Some of the early episodes and the more technical ones have none, sorry.

  4. Of the many resources i have seen concerning GIMP i have found this to be most definitely one of the better in terms of quality and overall presentation. I have taken the opportunity to download the torrents of previous editions of meetthegimp as. although they deal with previous versions of GIMP the information is still relevant and useful.
    thank you for such a resource. the commercial vendors could learn a lot from the presentational style i am sure.
