Gimp Tutorial 2: Erasing the watermark, adding border & text:
​

In this tutorial, we'll learn how to get rid of the GT4 copyright logo and adding the finishing touch to your image with a nice border and some txt.

Here's the image after going through the steps of tutorial 1:
​

Step 1:
​

Open up Gimp and select the file you wish to edit.
​

Step 2:
​

Go to Tools->Draw->Clone or press the C key. You should now see an icon which tells you you can't use it.
​

Step 3:
​

Zoom in 200-400% on the watermark and hold Ctrl, while holding Ctrl, click on the area next to the watermark and let go off Ctrl. Now click on the watermark, it should be replaced by the area you selected. Do not hold the mouse button whole the way, do it by clicks, repeat this untill the whole watermark is gone.
​

Step 4:
​

Go to Tools->Draw->Convulate or press the V key. A drop icon should now appear on your screen. Go to dialoges and select a reasonably big brush, for cloning, use a small brush.
​

Step 5:
​

Zoom back in, but it's not necessary to zoom in that much. Go over the cloned area in exact the same direction as the background or road. Go back to 100% image size and you should see this:
​

​

You still may notice some of the work but it goes completely away when adding a border, you just won't notice it 👍
​

Step 6:
​

Now rescale your image, go to Image->Image rescale and select your desired size. For this tutorial, a 800X600 size was chosen.
​

Step 7:
​

Now we're going to add a border so go to Script-Fu->"Decor"->Add border. A new window appears were you can select the hight and wide of the border along with the color.
​

Step 8:​

When you've chosen your desired color and size of the border, click OK and the new border has been added to your image! The image will get bigger so if you want to hold it to 800X600 size, rescale it one more time.
​

Step 9:​

Now we'll add some text to your image to give a little finishing touch. First you need to choose the color you want your text to be so go to Dialoges->Colors. A window appears were you can select a color of your choice. When the color has been chosen, just close the window.
​

Step 10:​

When you've chosen your color, it's time to select the font of yuor text, size and offcourse, which text so go to Filters-> Text-> Freetyp. A new window appears with different kind of options. First you need to typ in your text, after that, select your font and size. If you want to place text on your car, click on transformation. You can transform the text to your liking and even make it looks like a decal on your car! To move the text around, go to Image->Transform->Move
​

​

And viola! Done, just like that 👍 It doesn't take that much time, you just need to practice your cloning skills in the beginning to reduce traces but you'll be fine after a while

Didn't had too much work on this one, the reflections were already very nice. This picture'll be the basic for the next tutorial 👍​
