Grain merge mode - GIMP Beginners' Guide ep77 Video Lecture | A GIMP Guide for Beginners - Design Softwares

hi in this video we continue with the
next mode green merge again this mode is
best used with our layers here not so
much with our paint tools but you can
play around with them experiment see how
this mode effects your tools here now
the first thing we'll take a look at is
how this mode is being calculated green
merge mode has the pixel value of the
layer above and layer below together and
then subtract 128 this mode merges the
green layer into the current layer
leaving a grainy version of the original
layer let's take a look here for example
if we put this picture in a green
extract more you see what's happening
and if now I turn this layer on with
another picture and put it on green
merge you see the effect here so right
now I have combined the two modes here
together I put this layer on a green
extract and the first one or green merge
so if I turn this on to normal you see
how only this green merge effects this
layer so you can play around with it you
can apply effects to more than one layer
combined I changed that to bring merge
again see what kind of effect we can get
between these three layers
let's go to grain extract
you serious let's change them to normal
now let's see what you're gonna get with
this gradient here if I put this layer
on grain merge you see again how I'm
getting this grainy darkness here when
we have black and this really white
almost washed out color where we have
the white so play around with it that's
it for this video bye
