Class #7, Step 2

Step 2a: Selection Tools

No image required!

Step 2b:  Stroke

I used the Stroke function, under the Edit menu in order to paint the borders of various selections.  Note the pattern stroke on the selection in the clouds.

Step 2c:  Paste Into

The above screenshot illustrates the Paste Into function in GIMP.  I used two different selections on the image and then copied the BC Eagle to my clipboard.  By using the Paste Into function, I was able to place the logo into the selection, rather the into the image as a whole.

Step 2d:  Transparency

The two Eagle in the lower left are examples of using the Transparency Function in GIMP.  The Eagle on the Left is at 75%, while the Eagle on the Right is at 50%.

Step 2e:  Text

Fun with Text!  Each text block has a different Transparency setting starting at 40%, 50%, 60%, etc.  Different fonts and sizes were selected as well.

Step 2f:  Scale

This was done preserving aspect ratio.

This was done by not preserving aspect ratio.  It just so happens that I had made this image a clean 1024x1024. So when I reduced Height and Width by half, they come out the same regardless.
