GIMP trick: make your subject pop out of a photo
I found an easy and nice Photoshop trick, so easy that anyone can do it with a bit of patience, it was hard to resist and not adapt it for the GIMP.
I made a detailed description of the process with screenshots for every step.
Here is a teaser:
See my page for the full presentation.
As the week-end is coming, see this as a challenge to produce your own works, put on the blogs and amaze people with your GIMP wizardry :p
And maybe post in the comments some links to your work.
Many thanks to my friends for motivating me to write this.
All the materials included on this page are free to use, but if you find them useful, pretty please (this is not a requirement, only my humble wish) send an email to dioanad at server gmail.com with thanks for motivating me to publish some content and expressing your unhappiness to the same person for destroying my motivation to publish even more.

eee! that is so cool; I've never actually used the iwarp filter before, very neat!
What's with the ugly chick
hey anonymous, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
These comments have been invaluable to me as is this whole site. I thank you for your comment.
Great stuff! The only thing holding me back from becoming a total Linux user is the fact that I can do so much with Paint Shop Pro. If I could learn to do it all with GIMP that'd be so cool! Thanks for the little tutorial... it was great!
A long time ago I used to be a PaintShopPro user too, but those were the days of GIMP 1.x, which really sucked as a GUI...
But in the meantime the 2.x releases improved the interface a lot, and by using the program I became accustomed with it and it grew on me.
Thanks for sharing. Going on a hike like that is a watershed experience well worth the effort to "enshrine" the moment. My next PC is going to be running Linux. With tools like Gimp and Open Office, who needs to throw hard earned money at adobe and microsoft? Better to spend the money on a good pair of hiking boots, eh?
Hiking boots, a better digital camera, maybe a nice monitor for your PC, whatever... But yes, GIMP is a very capable tool and is a shame people don't know its abilities and go to pricier alternatives just out of ignorance.
Thanks Nicu! Here's my first experiment!
Very nice, matt!
Nicu, Thank you!! This will be useful to me and you explained it so well!!
Thank you, thank you!!!
Many and many thanksssssssssss
