GIMP-Edited Photos

So recently I've been editing some pictures in GIMP. Mostly self-shots. As egotistical as it could seem, it's simply because I don't really have any better object to use.

Here's the best, imo. I'll be putting some more up in this thread later on.

Everything about you looks like a 30 year old, except your face. The hair, clothes, necklass. o_O

Make your face less bright next time, its like the light all bends off course and flies at your face.

Pretty, but what exactly did you edit (Besides black and white? :p)
Bit too bright from the face

I'm able to buy alcohol and get into bars without being carded. Most people guess at 23. It's funny.

The overexposed face was kinda the point, but I get what you mean.

Bit too bright from the face

I overexposed my face, I significantly brought out the features of my face, mainly the eyebrows, eyes, and eyelashes. Touched up some ugly spots, blurred my right shoulder to increase focus on the head. Brought my hair and headband into sharper focus. Did quite a bit of burning on my hair, and a bit of dodging on my headband.

The pic looks nice. I like how the eye on the right is almost isolated in all of the white.

Wow, you look truly beautiful in those. Though if I were a bouncer you wouldn't fool me, you still look way to young to be entering bars/clubs, though I am really good with ages. There is not much of a difference between the original and the one you edited, though I agree with w/e about the eye on the right. I would close the line art (not that it is) though on that eye, at the bottom left where the eye fades into white, and see what that looks like. I'm all about subtleties I guess. I mean there are a lot of things you can do with this it just depends on what you're going for. I like the original one the best, lol, spare just the exposed face area on the edited one because it has more contrast and brings out your eyes. However it added too much contrast to the rest of the image, especially the shadows on the left. See if you can go back to the original and darken just the eyes and lighten the face as is in the edited one. It's really just adding contrast there and I think you'll get that achieved, but for the purposes of altering an image you will need to find more to do to it. As far as black and whit photography go, this is a great shot, nice angle and well balanced. As for your subject matter, I don't think the guys here will tire of it all that quickly.

But making it too bright doesn't look great. It makes the overlaying object become simplistic in a way that isn't too tasteful.

But whatever, it still looks nice. :p

Maybe its just me but i think the nose looks funny, in both of them xD

I agree. The photo itself was a bit too bright and blotted out some details, such as my nose.

I think it's a bit too over contrasted. There are other ways to get that effect without having so much pure white and black.

Like how?


Here's another:

Is the difference between your lips so big or you edited the lower lip?

Anyway, I like the B/W - Coloured effect :D.

hmm its ok but i think some more color to 'even' the image out would make it better. Perhaps coloring the eyes, lips or hair will even it out.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
