Navigate to the GIMP website and download the latest version of the software.
This week we worked with 2D software with raster and vector objects, we also worked with 3D software, we evaluated its features to see if they help us to develop our final project.
the assignment was:
model (raster, vector, 2D, 3D, render, animate, simulate, ...) a possible final project, compress your images and videos and post a description with your design files on your class page
The first 2D software raster to test will be Gimp and the second software will be Photopea.
Navigate to the GIMP website and download the latest version of the software.
Now that we've downloaded GIMP, we install it and it's time to start using it.
Gimp has a customizable interface
1. Toolbox
1. Layers
2. Brushes
To open and edit an existing image we follow the following flow.
File-> Open-> Select file rout -> Open
We can edit an image, for this example we will use the paint brush tool.
1. Layer -> New layer ->File-> Open-> Select file route -> Select file name -> Open
2. Tools -> Paint tools ->Paintbrush
3. Select brush type
now we proceed to write the test text "brush tool test".
Once the image has been edited, we export it in the format of our choice.
File -> Save As... -> Selec file -> Save
Once the image has been edited, we export it in the format of our choice.
File -> Save As... -> Selec file -> Save
Navigate to the Photopea website and use it online .
has a customizable interface
1. Toolbox
2. Layers
We can edit an image.
File -> Open -> Select file name -> Open
We will create a new layer to work in a non-destructive way.
Layer -> New -> Layer
Test brush tool
Select brush tool -> Select size -> Select stylus
