GIMP Tutorial: Using Curves to Improve Contrast

سبحان الله انا عمري ١٥ والفيد عمره 15 اكلمكم من قلب "نهاية 2023" انا الوحيد اللي اتكلم عربي

Hi, and thanks for the video(s). One minor question: if you make the backup layer (as you suggest) and you leave the little eye icon on for that layer, does it cause the background original to "bleed" through into the layer(s) with which you are working?

Useful tutorial, thanks. Is there any information on altering curves using the histogram that appears in the background of the curves window? So, using the histogram as a guide, moving the line accordingly? Thanks, Matt :-)

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm definitely going to subscribe to see what other useful videos I can dig up.

I've been using curves for yeas on colors, but today i tried it on a black and while image in desperation that I had been unable to get good contrast in using brightness and contrast tools, and it worked beautifully! Wish I knew why!

Great tutorial! I'm trying to teach myself GIMP. You sound like Michael Caine, by the way.

Well, the curve is nothing but a translation. X is input -gets translated into Y value. On a diagonal line, x50 is bound to y50 - hence no effect. When pullung up the line, i means: x50 Iinput) gets into e.g. y70 - so in the case of dark-light it gets lighter.

Thank you for your very helpful tutorial! you were great!

your tutorial 'using curves to improve contrast' is very helpful. thanks... LF

great, thanks

I like your videos - clear and easy for a learner of gimp like myself. cheers mate.

Very useful - I'd never bothered learning the curve tool before, but now I have a bunch of scans of old photos I need to brighten up, this is perfect.

I rather enjoyed your waffling! Great tutorial, off to learn some more Gimp tricks. Thanks for doing these tutorials!

I am a beginner and this tutorial has been very useful to me. The author understands the beginner and has structured this accordingly. Moreover, a clear voice and easily understandable pronunciation (I'm Indian and understood easily). Thank you very much!

I like how you actually explain what curves is and what the line means Thank you :)

Another way of preserving a master copy (the original) is to immediately save it with a different name. This doesn't over write the original, and instead creates a separate copy which can be worked on. I've always done this with Word files.

thanks..its useful..presto!

Thanks for the tutorials, did anyone notice the image "went G major" at 3.33? At 3.33! o.O

How can I change all pixels of a certain colour into a specified different colour without effecting anything else of a picture?

I thank you :D This REALLY did help a lot :)

Definitely the audio volume is quite good on this one. Aside from the volume the only request I could ever have of you is that you refrain from using any slang terms that may confuse other areas of the globe, unless you explain the meaning of the term at the time; so many examples can be cited its not really necessary to get into it. Great series of offerings malgalin. I've seldom seen a mistake in them and your enthusiasm to get the rest of us in the artpool with you is enviable.

thanks so much. Tour tuts are fab to help us newbies understand the basics of gimp. You speak clear and give great tips too. (love your accent too!). Looks like you've travelled to some cool places as well. thanks again.

awesome !! You got me inspired to try gimp. Very easy to follow and very audible instructions. Keep it up! Greetings from the Philippines!

Awesome video!

Cool people waffle when they talk. Thanks for the vid, very easy to follow and very helpful.

thanks again:K) - i'm enjoying learning with your tutorials and learning how the different features of GImP can translate into fun for me!

Thank you again ;)

Thank you so much for taking the time to share! And I like your waffleing. Some tutorials move too fast for beginners like myself - the fact that you take it a bit slower is a plus for a lot of us. :)

I was playing around with the curves tool a bit the other day but wasn't quite sure the best way to use it. This helps a lot. Thanks!

None taken. I waffle. It's what I do.

No offense, I didn't like it that much :-) It took you 2 Minutes to get to the point this tutorial is about. But finally I got a faint idea of what this color curve is about ;-)
