How to tint car windows using Gimp
Some cars just look better with tinted windows. Let's make this happen using GIMP.
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
1.
|
|
|
Open a car picture in GIMP.
I'm going to tint the windows of Tesla Model S electric car.
|
|
| |
2.
|
|
|
Select the Paths Tool.
|
|
| |
3.
|
|
|
Start drawing the path around the window (see picture).
Just draw some lines, you can fine tune them in the next step.
|
|
| |
4.
|
|
|
Fine tune the lines by dragging them.
Use Ctrl key to add some more points to the lines if necessary.
|
|
| |
5.
|
|
|
When done, click Selection from Path (Shift + V for keyboard shortcut).
|
|
| |
6.
|
|
|
Now do the same for the other window or windows.
First draw some lines...
|
|
| |
7.
|
|
|
... and fine tune them by clicking and dragging them.
|
|
| |
8.
|
|
|
And again when done, click Selection from Path (Shift + V for keyboard shortcut).
|
|
| |
9.
|
|
|
Now in the menu click Layer and New Layer (Shift + Ctrl + N for keyboard shortcut)
|
|
| |
10.
|
|
|
In the new layer window click OK.
|
|
| |
11.
|
|
|
Select the Bucket Fill Tool ...
Foreground color should be black.
|
|
| |
12.
|
|
|
... click one of the windows you selected previously ...
|
|
| |
13.
|
|
|
... and they're black.
|
|
| |
14.
|
|
|
For some more realistic effect set the New layer Opacity to about 88.
|
|
| |
15.
|
|
|
Press Shift + Ctrl + A to deselect the selection and you're done!
