These examples show the effects under the Filters > Beautify > Border > Texture Border menu: These examples show the effects under the Filters > Beautify > Border > Simple Border menu: These examples show the effects under the Filters > Beautify > Border > Rip Border menu: Render > clouds > solid noise (as a layer) These example show the effects under the Filters > Render menu: These examples show the filters under the Filters > Noise menu: These examples show the effects under the Filters > Map menu: Light-shadow > lighting-effects, xach effect Map Light-shadow > lighting-effects, supernova Light-shadow > lighting effects, more glowing, less shiny Light-shadow > lighting effects, drop shadow Light-shadow > gradient flare, bright star These examples are under the Filters > Light and Shadow menu: These examples show the effects under the Gimp Filters > Edge menu: The lines/stripes are because I did not do that.)ĭistort > wind (many options) Edge detect (I should have made the next two images “transparent” PNGs. These images show examples from under the Gimp Filters > Distorts menu: These images show the effects under the Filters > Decor menu: This is an example of an effect under the Gimp Filters > Combine menu:Ĭombine > filmstrip of several images Decor Gaussian > blur (background blur only) Combine The result in this case is that the trees look sharp, and the background is blurred: This is a really nice technique to use when you have people in the foreground and stuff in the background that you don’t care about. In the next image I (a) quickly selected the trees, (b) inverted that selection, then did a Gaussian blur on the background. These are examples of the filters you can find under the Filters > Blur menu: These are examples of the filters you can find under Filters > Beautify > Beautify.īeautify > smart color (50) + strong contrast (20) These examples show the effects you can find under the Filters > Artistic menu: The original imageīefore showing all the different Gimp effects, here’s the original image: Also, most of these effects have different controls that you can adjust in most cases here I have just used the default values. Note that these are “one at a time” effects you can combine filters together to achieve an infinite number of possible effects. I put the name of each filter/effect to the right of each image. To help with this problem, I created this page as a “ Gimp filters cheat sheet” to help remind me of what all the filters look like.Īs a result, this page shows over 130 examples of Gimp effects that are applied one at a time to a photograph I took of Denali when I lived in Talkeetna, Alaska. There are so many filters available with Gimp - and no simple way to preview them all - that I forget what they all look like.

If you know how to use Gimp and just want a reference page of what the effects look like, I hope these examples are helpful. Summary: This page shows over 130 examples of what you can accomplish with filters and other effects in Gimp.
