Image Inside Text - GIMP Tutorial Video Lecture | A GIMP 2.8 Tutorial for Beginners - Design Softwares

hi and this is real I'll show you how
you can put image inside text and also
I'll show you how to change the
background how to apply a glow remove
some problems that you might occur and
other things let's start with the
creating a new image and I have this
width and size and I want to double it
that's why our type start to go click on
the height and I'll type star 2 and this
will double the height click OK the next
thing I'm going to do is fill with the
foreground color which is black let's go
to edit
next things select the text tool click
and type GIMP no double click there to
mark the text and change the color to
white and also going to change the size
to let's say 800 pixels and I'm also
making it bold
of course you can use any font that you
want I'll use this one for the tutorial
the next thing I'm going to do is if I
want to align this to be in the middle
I'll grab the align tool click on the
background shift-click on the text and
then use both these options to align it
now go to layer there to image size
now select alpha to selection in this
layer and then with the Delete key I'm
going to delete make the background
layer active add an alpha channel and
again hit the Delete key and then ctrl
shift a to deselect now the next thing
I'll do is open as a layer an image this
one click open and I will need to scale
this down because it's a very big image
you see it's 5,000 pixels width click on
the chain to keep the aspect ratio and
scale it down and this will take a
little bit of time because like I said
it's a very big image
now next thing I'll move this layer down
behind the background I grab the move
tool move the active layer and I'm going
to position this
around here and then layer to image size
and you see we managed to put image
inside the text now we can also put more
than one image so I'm going to open
another one as a layer this bird here
and the image again is too big so I'm
going to scale it down
grab the move tool and move the layer
where I want it would be better if I
scale it down just enough to fit in both
these letters but I'm not going to do
that in me do I rather show you how to
blend those two images together if you
want you something I've shot in a
previous tutorial let's try this again
add a layer mask click Add then go to
the blend tool use this gradient and
just click and drag let me see how we
can blend the image also layer to image
size can use more than two images you
can use as many images as you want you
but I'm going to remove this board
because I prefer to leave only the grass
in the sky here and now the next thing I
want to show you is how we can now
create a glow here let's select alpha to
selection but to the background here and
ctrl I to invert the selection and now
I'm going to go to select border type 10
pixels click OK
and here I'll need to create another
layer transparency click OK and then
I'll select another foreground color
let's say this light blue Cour selected
click OK and this will assign it to the
foreground color and now I can use ctrl
, to fill with the foreground color or
you can go to edit and select the option
from there the next thing I'm going to
do is make sure this layer is active go
to filters blur Gaussian blur and here
I'm going to enter for blur radius 60
pixels click OK
and you see that some of the blur effect
is also over the image I want to remove
that so again I'll select the background
alpha to selection ctrl I to invert the
selection and then I'll make the layer
where the glow is active this one and
again hit the Delete key ctrl shift a to
deselect and you see we have a glow only
outside of the text also another thing
here we have too much power so I'm going
to select the eraser tool reduce the
opacity to 20 use the size of the brush
and just click here carefully to remove
some of the Cour
now I'm going to delete this top layer I
don't need it anymore and you see the
text without and with Google now let's
do something else let's drop a shadow
here it's like the background light and
shadow drop shadow I'll use the defaults
and you see the effect here I'm also
going to crop this because it created a
shadow outside the background so with
the crop tool I'm going to crop this
click enter
you see the effect can also add the glow
if you want to
now let's see how we can change the
background you can use any image that
you want for a background you can use a
digital photograph or something you have
created here I'll just create another
layer and I'll use the blend tool and I
feel with one of the gradients to create
a new image
and we see the new background that we
have created
now I'm going to need to again I'm just
checking all the layers here I'll need
to select the background game black
background and here again alpha to
selection ctrl I to invert the selection
or go to select invert and then mark
this new background and hit the Delete
key then shift a to deselect and then
I'm going to turn on the other effects
here you see with shadow the glow here
the cover of the goal doesn't fit very
well with this orange background like I
said you can use any kind of digital
photograph or graphic that you have
created so that's it for this tutorial I
