Gimp Decor Border Filters Primer Tutorial - Gimp download from www.gimp.org
Gimp is great!
Gimp is open source.
What is Gimp? It edits image files. It has loads of filters and tools. Today we hone in on Gimp’s Decor filters that deal with photograph Border functionality, adding to our previous Gimp Old Photo Tutorial as shown below, which also involved a really good Gimp Decor filter, namely the Filter->Decor->Old Photo… filter, which used sepia toning (if you are into photography in darkrooms, you may remember some chemicals to do this) to create the effect of an ordinary photograph with apt subject matter, turning into an old photograph that has been in a photograph album for a looooooooong time.
So why talk about photograph border effects? Well, you’ll notice the way a border can be a photographic enhancement both for what it does itself, and for the way it concentrates the human gaze and makes what is inside the border, enhanced and glowing more somehow, even if this is a slight of light, or slight of hand, or an optical illusion, or the brilliance of Gimp Script-Fu filters.
The Gimp Decor filter Border ideas, which all use Script_Fu filters, we apply to the photograph of Nala, today, are:
- Fuzzy Border… … border with fuzzy edges
- Round Corners… … border with round corners
- Slide… (DiMaggio, Slide! (couldn’t resist it)) … border simulating a slide
Hope you enjoy today’s tutorial.
