Can someone give me photo editing advice?
-
I want to edit these two photos together. Basically one is of a girl wearing a bikini, the other is of a beach. I want to edit it so the girl looks like she's on the beach. Simple enough. I have GIMP, an editing system, and that's about it. If you have a better (FREE) editing system with more tools, than please tell me. I've figured out how to crop the girl out, except only in squares or rectangles. I want to get the girl out by herself, just the outline. Can anyone help please?

Answer:
The very first thing that you will want to do is master layer masks. Check out this gimp video tutorial for more information on how layer masks work. http://gimpedblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/layer-masks-explained-lesson-5-how-to.html Once you get the hang of layer masks, you will be able to see how to remove the girl from the background by watching this lesson: http://gimpedblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/this-gimp-video-tutorial-talks-about.html Also, there is a fantastic book written on using layer masks available on amazon. It's 4.99 and will give you all the information you need above and beyond these videos. That book can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007SB2CKA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=gim0d-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007SB2CKA Use the layer mask to remove the background from the photo of the girl with the bikini, and then move the girl into the beach scene. Adjust the colors of the girl to best-match the colors the beach scene has. I do gimp and UFRaw tutorials and would be happy to help you out more.

Use one of the selection tools to go around the outline. The lasso (free select tool), or the scissors tool, or the pen tool to make a path which you can then turn in to a selection. It's not called "cropping" - it's called "making a selection". Cropping is when you chop bits off an image and cut it down to size. There is no better software for doing this that is FREE. GIMP is the best image editor for FREE.
