This will draw your gradient, with the light color in the middle and dark color around the edges in a radial shape. In the blend tool options, change your gradient to Foreground to Background (RGB) – denoted by the purple arrow above, and change the shape to Radial (pink arrow).Ĭome over to your background layer and click on the middle of your composition (red arrow), dragging to the bottom right corner (purple arrow). Grab the blend tool (denoted by the green arrow in the photo above) and change your foreground and background colors (red arrow) to a light blue (html notation: 3cccf5) and a dark blue (html notation: 2b748f). Click OK to create your new image/composition. You can set your composition to whatever dimensions you would like. The image is 768 pixels in height, but I want to be able to crop some of the image out, so I will set the composition height a little lower than that – 720 pixels. Since the image I have downloaded is 1024 pixels wide, I’ll choose that as my width. The “Create a New Image” dialogue box will appear (shown in the photo above), which allows you to choose the dimensions of your composition. Step 2: Create a New CompositionĬreate a new composition by going to File>New. The “Open Image” dialogue box will appear, which allows you to search for your image within files on your computer, select it, and open it. Once you have downloaded your image, open it into GIMP by going to File>Open. Be sure to do this throughout the tutorial to keep from losing your work! Step 1: Open Your Image XCF file format by pressing ctrl+s on your keyboard or going to File>Save.
You can save your composition as you work in the native. You can also follow along using GIMP 2.8.22, which is the latest stable version of GIMP (at the time of this post). You can download GIMP 2.9.8 free here on the GIMP website. It contains almost all of the new features to be found in GIMP 2.10, though there are some bug fixes the GIMP team is still working on for the release of the stable version.
I’ll be using GIMP version 2.9.8, which is the “development version” and considered the latest version of GIMP.

I use a free font called Advent Pro Bold which you can download here, and a free photo of the Denver Capitol Building found here on Flickr.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to place a picture inside your text, plus create a 3D pop-out effect with an element from your photo so that it appears the photo is popping out of the text!
