![]() ![]() ![]() The positioning might be crucial for the final animation, so you can use the following trick to make the positioning a piece of cake. After typing the text onto the frame, GIMP will create a floating selection, that you need to position right using the move tool and anchor using Ctrl+H. Then we’ll use the standard text tool to put a small text note on every frame. The first step will naturally be to copy our flattened image two times using the duplicate layer button in the layers window. I don’t want to make this boring, so lets make it three frames. Each frame will consist of the flower image and accompanied by some text. We will be creating a banner consisting of, say three lines of text being animated. Now we’re ready for the actual animation work. Once you’re ready flatten the image using the Image → Flatten Image. This part of the tutorial is not the key element, so feel free to experiment. In that layer mask i applied a b/w gradient, so that the left of the flower is not interlaced. I couldn’t resist adding the interlace effect using Filters → Render → Grid and a layer mask. ![]() After that I blurred the shadow using Gaussian blur RLE and offset it by 2px to bottom right. I just pasted the flower below the border frame, used alpha to selection, created an empty layer below it and filled the selection with black using Ctrl+. I have prepared a masked-out flower you see on the picture on the left. Now it’s time to put our logo or the main theme picture into the banner. We created a 1 px frame around out banner. Shrink the selection by 1 px ( Selection → shrink) and delete the selection with Ctrl+K. Select the whole image with Ctrl+A and fill it with black ( Ctrl+,). For now let us think about every layer as of a separate frame. We’ll discuss the two different frame disposal methods later on. Unlike it’s default composite function, using GIMP as an animation package requires you to think of every layer as of an animation frame. ![]() In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use GIMP’s layers in a different manner. Apply Instagram-like filters to your animated GIFs - Gotham, Lomo, Toaster, Vignette, Polaroid, and Nashville filters.Text and images Copyright (C) 2002 Jakub Steiner and may not be used without permission of the author. You can also use it to change the background color or add a background color to a transparent GIF.Īdd borders, frames, rounded corners. Especially useful when You need to remove white or black backgrounds from animated GIFs. Replaces any color You specify with transparency. You can add a second counter to GIF, generate fade in / fade out effect or pause the GIF after playback to give viewers a better understanding of the animation timeline. You can also rotate an image by a freely chosen angle, reverse the GIF, or change the number of times to play ( loop count). These options allow you to flip an image both horizontally and vertically, creating a mirrored image effect. Convert GIF image colors to grayscale, sepia, monochrome or negative (invert colors) using built-in presets, tint the image with a selected color, modify hue, saturation and lightness as well as contrast and brightness. ![]()
