                         Video Session

                   Scan the QR code or visit the following link to watch the video: How To Change the Color of Clothing
                   With GIMP—
                   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRwqdzodsCw
                   Now open an image of yourself/flower in GIMP. Change the colour of your clothes/flower using the
                   tools/methods learnt from the video.




              Paths Tool
              You can use this tool    to trace the perimeter of any item on your image. More significantly, when working with
              complex forms, it gives you a lot more control than the other selection tools. The Path tool generates control points
              that you can shift about as needed, much like the Intelligent Scissors. You must first draw a route and then stroke
              it in order to use the Paths tool in GIMP. Stroke path in GIMP refers to applying a certain style to the route (color,
              width, pattern, etc.).
              A Path serves two key objectives:

              Ð ÐA closed path can be changed into a selection.
              Ð ÐAny path, open or closed, can be stroked, which refers to various painting techniques used to the image.
              With the paths tool, the following tool options are provided below.

              Creating a Path
              The path’s outline should be drawn first; it can be adjusted later. Perform the following steps to create a path:

              Step 1:  Open an Image.
              Step 2:  Select the Paths Tool by either:
                       Going to Tools   Path in the menu bar.
                       OR
                       By clicking the Paths Tool    in the Toolbox.
                       OR
                       By pressing B on your keyboard.

              Step 3:  Click to place anchor points around the object you want to select. For straight lines, simply click to add points.
                       For curves, click and drag to create curved paths. Adjust the handles as needed.
