Opacity

In building on the last post, which talks about the wonders of having separate layers in a photo workbook, I thought I'd also mention the fact that GIMP lets you change the opacity of each layer. This makes for some fun effects if you want a slight overlay of the same image or even an entirely different image.


Details: For the first picture, I added an overlay of an enlarged version of the same picture (of the Provo, Utah, LDS Temple) and an additional overlay of a picture of wood (which is what added the various specks throughout the sky.) On each of the second two pictures, I added an overlay of a picture of grass (which is what added the subtle blurred, antique look.) With the overlay layers, I just changed the opacity levels in GIMP until I liked the results.

Hello there! I noticed you've taken a liking to my Digital Photo Mania blog and have copied and pasted quite a bit, with no visible attribution to the fact that these are my pictures and my written content. Perhaps your intent was not piracy, but you have no permission to reproduce my work like this. Please delete all of these posts.
