Following https://www.reddit.com/r/DeepFriedLinuxMemes/comments/92gry1/deep_frying_with_gimp/
I may put this in the wiki if the subreddit gets bigger, but here are some ways I've found to make "decent" deep fried memes in GIMP:
-
Filters > Noise > CIE Ich Noise adds a good grain to the image
-
Filters > Enhance > Sharpen adds the lines around objects
-
Colors > Color Temperature allows you to add the deep fried "oil" to the image, though not nearly as easily or as well as Photoshop could probably do
-
A lot of good emoji can be found at this github repo, however, you will still need to search for a few more common ones (I don't remember which ones off the top of my head)
-
Scale and Cage transform can lead to some good magnification if your meme requires it
-
For the red eyes, the best option I have found is Filters > Light and Shadow > Supernova and making various tweaks.
If anyone else has tips that I have forgotten, please share! The better the memes, the more we can laugh.
I skipped 4 and 5
Harry Potter → Voldemort would be a lot faster tbh
