Inkscape + GIMP: Geometric Photo Collage Tutorial

In today's tutorial I'll be using both Inkscape and GIMP together to create a geometric photo collage using three different (but related) photos. First we'll be using Inkscape the create the geometric shape in vectors, then we'll import it into GIMP to slice our photos and place them into their respective areas.

Amazing, didn't know how powerful Gimp was

[@donnytheflow]

[@100awesomeness]

I'll recommend anyone looking for a wayout on Gimp to this channel. This is one the best channel i've seen so far , God bless you Sir for your good work.

[@shater1164]

Wow every time something new and informative, thanks Nick :)

Great video. I was wondering, why you used the path tool instead of magic wand?
I found that it would be a bit faster (and a bit less hussle) if I selected the area inside logo with the Fuzzy tool (magic wand), grow the selection by ~6px, invert the selection, select background layer and then pressed delete button to clear the selected part of the picture.

[@LogosByNick]

That could work as well. I initially disregarded the magic wand option because it created a selection that was slightly smaller than the interior of the shape, but your idea of growing the selection is a good idea!

oh cool that was exactly my thought the whole time.

Nick,
thank you very much, my Saturday afternoon "research", as I tell my wife, looks good fun.

OH SNAP IT"S BOTH AT THE SAME TIIIIIIME!! Yeah anyway super excited because taking svgs into gimp is a huge issue for me.

[@ioisstudio]

love your awesome tutorials ^^

[@rus4lkaa]

Great video.

[@bauruimportsify]

thank you Kick, Great Work!

[@rockmystyle]

Very high level as always :) Nick how about some infographic next time?

[@jujharsingh7466]

Love your videos bro

[@tomelegeert2037]

Just great!

[@noel4182]

Thank you.

[@musolo78]

Thanks! Could you make one more tutorial about Inkscape + GIMP workflow for something like mobile game ui elements. Or something of this nature.
Cheers!!!

[@Jelly-rj8fz]

i was so confused, watching a gimp tute withan inkscape looking programme, haha then I twigged!

[@theOutsidersDz]

Thank you a lot

[@benjabenja1972]

Nice video. I would expect using masks in GIMP instead of cuts. With masks you can move pictures underneath for better position.

[@gargoyle2423]

Thanks a lot! This vid was a huge help. I had a collage to do for my digital capturing/streaming class, using my own photos, and this gave me a good solid plan. Not to mention, it introduced me to Inkscape.

[@ww_4776]

Supercool❤️

[@watergoden2846]

Thats insane ! But can you make a Tutorial how we can make in inkscape an E-Sport Logo?

[@LogosByNick]

That could be great but unfortunately that sort of design requires a lot of nuanced freehand drawing which doesn't really translate well to a video tutorial. I'll look into it and see what I can do, but I can't promise anything.

[@watergoden2846]

Ok :D

[@100awesomeness]

I was told Photoshop is better than gimp. But your channel made me understand that all of that is a myth. I think i begin to realize is that, all depends on how you grasp the software and know how to walk around each tool and style of editing with ease. Gimp too is lightweight. Hardly experienced any system crash as opposed to Photoshop which just gets stuck, freezes and made me reboot my Pc.

[@jeffreyyuvero3012]

Hey Nick so just found out about a graphic design software with nice interface. idk maybe you would like to try it out. It’s called Gravit Designer. Thanks for the video as always God bless👍🏻

[@100awesomeness]

Please is there a beginners video defining all terms used in gimp? As to all the tools, terms such as layer and layermasks, alphachannel including fuctions- infact all the basis.etc.
I was recommended to this channel by a friend, since i wanted to use gimp as i installed linux. And i was told the best photoediting tool was Adobe photoshop. So i could not access it in Linuxmint. And so i found gimp. And loved everything about it. But it's so confusing cause i started trying to learn out photoshop, but i had no means to fully access(coz i had to pay for it- and could not since i'm only a college student).
I switched to linux, because it was faster, i could tweak it, customize, also it has a good deal when it comes to servers and web stuff, which I'm into it.
My point here is this tool made me not to turn to windows and seeing your other videos and playlists on gimp and the other one inkscape seeing what i could do with these tools marveled me and i felt safe, not regreting leaving windows.

[@baconmangaming7002]

when i export it from inkscape, its not transparent, somebody please help me, please
