Playing with Gimp: Creating a Sexy Bomb

Today editing photos is something that almost anyone can and needs to do. Well if you use Windows and like Photoshop, as if you use a smartphone and have an application for it such as MomentCam, on Linux we can also do our things using Gimp.

Personally, I am not a design expert, much less, I do the minimum and essential with Gimp, yes, it is one of the first applications that I install on my Linux. I install dozens of applications in a single line (command) in terminal, a much simpler procedure compared to the tedious and annoying download and installation process of its Windows counterpart, Photoshop. In Linux, installing applications is simpler than you think, similar to installing apps in Android, if you use Linux download and install the software (Gimp) through a graphical application or terminal, with a few simple clicks it will be enough, on Android through the app you can download MomentCam or another application that helps you edit the photo as you wish and voila, in Windows it is very different, you must download Photoshop, the crack, check it with the antivirus, crack it, the keygen ... etc etc. That's assuming you don't want to pay the million dollar Photoshop license it costs.

Well getting into the matter, Hyuuga_Neji explains how to edit a photo and turn a slightly overweight person into a sexy bomb, something like this:

Brief introduction

The first thing to know is that we are going to use a filter (which comes by default) with GIMP, its name is: iWarp or you can also say "Interactive deformation". This filter allows us to edit parts of the images and within its options we have:

• MOVER Allows you to move a certain amount of pixels
• Grow Enlarge the image
• Counterclockwise Whirlwind Makes a whirlpool in that direction
• Remove Remove modifications
• Shrink Shrink the image
• Whirlwind Schedule Makes a whirlpool in that direction

Another thing, iWarp allows you to work both in a Bilinear way or doing an adaptive oversampling, also including the possibility of creating an animation sequence (several layers that we could use to create a GIF animation file).

Creating the Sexy Bomb

The term "Sexy Pump”We have been listening to it since the time of Marilyn Monroe and it denotes a beauty model, to create our own sexy bomb we will transform an image of a model, for that we open the GIMP and load the base image, for example this:

Once the image is loaded in GIMP, I usually duplicate the layer (Shift + Ctrl + D) but if you want you can work on the same base image. We open the filter from the menu Filters / Distortions / iWarp as we see in the figure:

The filter interface is loaded, which provides the options mentioned above:

After loading the interface we have to go playing with the things we want to modify, in case of "going over" regarding the modifications we can always use the option Remove that allows us to remove the modifications we make or if you prefer use the button Restart.

Little by little we are creating the body of our sexy bombshell until we transform the caterpillar into a butterfly. Here I leave you how mine was, not without first asking you to try yourself in GIMP and comment here on your opinions or doubts.

As you can see, fixing a photo and turning one person into another is apparently simple ... of course, when we see that person and we realize that the photo was a vile lie ... LOL! 😀

Well, nothing more to add, just thank Hyuuga for his contribution.
