Wow these lok great ! Would it be to much to ask for a tutorial ?

I really love this effect, nice job on all of these

Those do look really good!

The first one is really the best one due to the bright warm colours. The others come out fine, but personally I think their colour tones are too "cold", this technique enhances the image, makes it a bit surreal and strong colours help that even further.


Lol, I think you get this question for every image in this style you post eh, Photocomix? I know you have summed up the process in many previous posts, but don't you think a regular Tutorual would be nice nevertheless, so you can link to it if nothing else?

10/10 Great work, I wish I could do that

Right, but i found so frustrating see all my tutorials(including the last was on a very similar technique ) sink in no time to the bottom pages and never reemerge

Require much more time and effort explain something new and original then "translate" a PS tutorial, or add few screenshoot to some routine already well described in the gimp help...

Originality require much more time and give no much satisfaction till now so i don't know when i will find the mood to try again with a tutorial

Can you at least tell us what the major tweaks were, filters used?

@Photocomix
Sorry to hear that.
Your tutorial comic-fx had got plenty of replies though I think (before it was taken down)? There seems to certainly be an interest in it, so I suspect more people would visit it if you linked to it. Is there a problem re-uploading the images?

@2-ton
I guess Photocomix' tutorial above shows off similar effects as this one, but he took it offline for maintenance (the images where down). Also since he didn't Å•efer to it for this, maybe it's not quite the same procedure. The tutorial used the the greystoration filter at least.

I had just renewed my subscription to flickr so image should be restored in few time.

And anyway i promise also to myself to polish that tutorial so for this week end will be ready at least in the usual form (i planned to do a Video tut, but my sound card seems no able to accept input from microphone but only output music)

Sure i may, but the point is not much which filter used but how found the right setting

This was the first routine i try:

1 Duplicate the layer

2Filter/Artistic/Photocopy
(first enlarge the preview box how much you can,then lower the value of the first and last value , quite close to the minimum
point is get most of details, a good amount of grain, and a not too blanck image)

3 use now Grycstoration, again preview box has to be maximized .
"Contour preservation has to be lowered, "noise Amount" increased to the point of blur the image
Then "Asinotropy" has to be pushed almost to maximum, that will sort of "refocus" the image giving neat outline but smearing all noise
..you should look the preview to find right point

4 change mode of duplicate layer in soft light

A )usually that is sufficient, is the effect is too soft duplicate again the layer.
AND/OR
B )Is effect whiten too much the image, duplicate again but this time set the duplicate in multiply mode, lowering is opacity as needed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For this last series i used a variations


1 ) G'MIC Toolbox (is a new filter, include also greycstoration ) in G'MIC toolbox Artistic/pencil drawing
Again maximize preview, you want a "pencil drawing" more detailed possible,

2 ) now a little disturbance, that GMIC filter has a bug so instead then modify the active layer will create a new image.
Copy/paste as new layer over the original,

3) again change layer mode to soft light

and again is the effect is too soft duplicate again the layer.
And/OR
If effect whiten too much the image, duplicate again but this time set the duplicate in multiply mode, lowering is opacity as needed

But the basic point is judging the preview
1 all details visible and net in the B&W layer (in both case : photocopy+greycstoration or GMIC "pencil drawing") will be..sharpened and bumped
All the rest will add texture or in case of Greycstoration a sort of brushstroke.

Again for the week end should be ready

I really like the effect, also helped by the choice of subject material. Have to figure out how to do that sometime. Nice work, enjoyable, thanks

I will be very interested in trying out the tut! It makes very interesting artwork out of photos.

OK i'm working on the tut

and as by effect those too pop out



That is a edited detail cut from



Last



was



PS work also with original in BN ,as old analogical photos

this



was



that sort of sepia come just from a solid yellow layer overlayed on top with no much opacity

In prep for possible tutorial, can ya'll remind me how to get greycstoration and liquid resize into my Gimp (2.4) I have greyc zip on my desktop but not sure just how or where to put which of the greyc files into gimp and I don't want to mess it up.

well that is in the introductory tut of Griatch on gimp 2.6, pinned on tut board

But i wrote also to point out this link, even if mostly with images i explain there all the steps, on my LAST message

http://www.flickr.com/groups/gimpusers/ ... 729078386/

Anyway for the week end i wish finish a proper tut

OOPSS late again..to make the tut i used new images then i spaced out once again to experiment something different

uff ...

The sky was done with the astronomy plugin

I love the house!!!

Very nice work. I think the colorful images in particular really benefit, though the animals ended up with some really unusual facial details that I liked as well.

Thanks for sharing!
