I guess i don’t understand what you’re asking.
To make it from scratch would be a very long instruction list. Primarily you’d need to have the faces as pngs with transparency in HD so you could paste them as layers into the background. That would be easy if you have the faces already. Why not just look for a higher definition image and skip all the work?
o i see,,okay thanks
sorry, my question is not very detailed. totally my bad i mean i just want to edit my photo just like the album cover :)
pardon my english
So you want to convert pictures of yourself to look like this cover? You’re going to want to turn each of the other pictures into monochrome pngs with transparency. You can do that by using the threshold tool. Then you’d change the color of each picture to your desired color. Then you’d paste them onto your background as layers and flatten the image when complete.
owh okay,,, i thought i need to cut the face with path tool first, and then draw the outline, after that change the color..
ill try your advice. thanks :)
Nah, path tool would be a pain in the butt to use for this. I’d use a site like remove.bg to remove the background and then use the threshold tool in gimp to convert it. Much easier.
okay thank you for the advice
Any time. Have fun!
