example no 3 : to form a police photography of a bandit (for example front + two little side pictures at the bottom)
you all know the reception's pictures make in Alcatraz or other prisons.
make 1 of 3! a big one on top and 2 half sized one at the bottom! such combinations picture are usual in different field of the web: animal lover pages etc. where people shows her collection of pets
they are easy to make with mTpaint.
1st step: pick up the 2 pictures from Dillinger
I did find above picture here:
http://symonsez.files.wordpress.com/200 ... =229&h=300
I open the picture in the browser as it is in *.jpg format and Seamonkey will open it willing.
after that I open in Seamonkey the zoom:
view > zoom >> double size (200 %)
and make a first snap shot of the screen as explained above and extract one of both portraits:
and save it in /root/
After that, I do the same with the other picture:
and save also it in /root/.
But I have no third picture !
If I have luck, no problem with mTpaint
I open the second picture with mTpaint and make following manipulation:
- Ctrl A to select all the picture
- Ctrl M to flip it horizontally
(step by step:
- Selection > select all
- Image > Flip horizontally )
I save the false picture in /root/ like the other both, and think «I have now my 3 pictures!» (sorry, but the third one is not true... )!
but to explain how to manage that job, it is completely the same as if the 3rd picture would be true!
2d step: Manage the size of the final picture:
- open first the front picture with mTpaint.
- hit on the short cut «Page Down» ; you see now following screen content:
The short cut «Page Down» did activate the procedure Image > Resize canvas ! With it, you can increase the size of the original picture.
Why?
You will have if finish a global picture with the 2 other pictures at the food !
On my screen, I can read that the original width is 145 and the original height is 204.
The other 2 pictures will probably have the same size as it seems on the original picture on the web...
If I want 2 little pictures at the food of the front picture, they have to be half the size of the front picture! The needed final heigh is 204 * 1,5 = 306
As no supplementary width is needed, I erase the selection's mark in the selection's field «Fix aspect ratio» :
The new picture has immediately a food array in red that I can use for other news details on the picture.
As the red colour disturb me, I will change it immediately and go to
Palette > Edit Colour A & B (Short cut Ctrl E if you prefer)
Following Submenu appears:
You see that the colour A is red (and the color B black) and will change i!
Hit on the little white field marked with the red arrow and the long red field also marked with an other red arrow will immediately appear half in red and half in white (because you did hit on the white colour). The colour of A left in the top is now white. Hit on «ok» and close the submenu.
After that, activate the «Flood Fill» Icon in the Icon bar of mTpaint (see the 2 other arrows) and hit on the red part of the image to change it colour from red into white!
3d step: drag and drop the 2 other pictures on it and manage her size:
Now drag and drop the 2 side pictures with the mouse on mTpaint. Move a little the picture as the have the same size and will probably cover each other! After moving her position, my picture sees as follow:
the last picture that I did move appears in the left side of the window, the processing side of the splited window, ready to be managed.
- Ctrl A will mark it all (Selection > Select all)
- Page Up invokes Image > Scale Canvas
- the usual sub menu opens and as you know the wished High that you did calculate before to increase the front picture, you enter that value into the second line (in my case 102)
- the first side picture did shrink adequate and you can move it at the right place on the front picture with the mouse. Move now the other one to bring it into the left part of the mTpaint window:
make the same thing with the false view I did make myself and finish the complete picture:
last step: to finish save the composite picture
(it is also possible to save all the layers if you prefer!)
goto the subregister
Layer > Save Composite Image !
