Cage Transform Tool - GIMP Beginners' Guide ep124 Video Lecture | A GIMP 2.8 Tutorial for Beginners - Design Softwares

hi in this episode I will talk about the
new cage transform - in gimp 2.8 and by
the way I just updated to gimp 2.8 point
2 so if you want to do that you can go
to the official website gimp.org and
download the new version it's already
compiled for Windows and now to use this
- first of all of course we selected
then we start adding this knots around
the area we want to affect like this
and when we are finished we just click
on the starting point to close our
selection now if you want to add another
node or just adjust the cage without
actually transforming the area you can
click on again on the create or just the
cage because when you close the cage it
automatically jumps to deform the cage
to deform the image so if you go back
here you can add another node if you
like or you can adjust the cage without
actually deforming the image now once
you have already adjusted the cage you
can click on the deform the cage to
deform the image and then you can click
on one of these any of these nodes and
start deforming the image you see how
this works
you can also drag with your mouse like
this and select more than one node and
you see those that are active they
become Square and now you can adjust all
them at the same time
let's click outside
let's make it a little bit more bigger
like this and now when you want to apply
the transformation you hit the enter key
and goes to work and you see here we
have some left over from the original
image in disk image getting rid of this
will be very easy we can just select the
brush tool switch this and just paint
over and we're done but if you have an
image which is not on a white background
you might want to duplicate the image
before starting editing and then after
editing you add an alpha channel to the
upper layer the one that you transform
and then with the eraser tool you can
delete parts of the image that are
affected with these artifacts and this
will get rid of those artifacts like
this one and you just be kind of
blending the two images together so
that's it for this tutorial for this new
cage transform tool that it's kind of
been missing from GIMP it's a very nice
step forward so that's it bye for now
