This tutorial is a Gimp version of the Photoshop X-ray Animation. It just shows you anything you can do in Photoshop, you can do in good old free Gimp.
Create an animation in the Animation Playback window. Turn it into an animated GIF file. Watch a video of a cooler GIF animation with Gimp.
You will use the same face and skull images for this project. You will use the Rescale tool, Iwarp, Blur, and Layer Masking.
The Animation Playback window will preview the animation. Then I show how to make an animated GIF for a web page like the one I have on this page using just a few lines of HTML code.

Start the project
Open the GimpXrayStart.xcf project.
Bring the Opacity of the skull layer to about 50%. You can see the skull is not matching the contours of the face. The skull image can be vertically and horizontally resized, then with IWarp the edges can be stretched until they match the edges of the face.
Resize the Skull
Go to the Scale tool and click anywhere on the skull image.
Vertically resize and move the skull layer. Do this as many times as necessary to match the height of the face (In Scale mode the skull layer hides the face).
When done, go to Layer / Layer to Image Size on the menu. Then Bucket fill the empty space with black. This is all on the skull layer remember.
Now to horizontally resize the lower skull to match the bottom face. While still on the skull layer, make a selection of the lower skull. Then Scale to the right and left. Use a fuzzy brush with a black foreground to erase the marks on the cheekbones. Go to Filters / Blur to blend any marks.
From the menu go to Filters / Distorts / IWarp. Click and drag, to pull or push, the inner and outer edges. After one edit, click Save, then check the result in the image. Go back and keep making edits like this until all edges match the face background.
Add a Layer Mask
Continue from above. On the skull layer, put Opacity back to 100%.
Add a layer mask by going to Layer / Mask / Add Layer Mask on the menu. Choose Black. Click the skull layer and change the layer mode to Multiply.
Click the Layer mask to edit it. Make a rectangular selection over the face. Change the foreground color to white. Use the Bucket Fill tool to fill the selection with white. This makes the white area on the mask fully transparent so you can see through to the skull.
In the Toolbox, click the Move tool. Move = Layer. Choose Pick a layer or guide. In the Layers box, click the Mask for the skull layer.
In the image click the transparent area. Then you can use the up / down arrows on your keyboard to move the transparent area vertically. Hold Shift to move faster.
Create an Animation of the X-Ray in Gimp
Continue from above. We will use the two layers while moving the transparent mask down to create each frame of the animation.
Open a new Gimp project file. This will contain just the copied frames for the animation.
In your current project, start the transparent area at the top of the head. Right click and Flatten Image. On the menu, go to Edit / Copy. Then Undo (Ctrl+Z) to get back to the skull and face layers.
Go to your animation project and Paste as New Layer, the first frame. The first frame will be called Clipboard.
Go back to the skull x-ray project. In the Toolbox, click the Move tool. In the Layers box, click the Mask for the skull layer. In the image click the transparent area. Then hold Shift / down arrow key on your keyboard to move the transparent down. Then Flatten, Copy, Paste As New Layer in the animation project and so on, going back and forth until all frames are completed.
Below is the final stack of frames in your animation project. To run the animation, on the menu go to Filters / Animation / Playback. The Animation Playback window opens. Click Play to run. Or click Step to advance one frame at a time.
Create an Animated GIF for an HTML Web Page
This will show you how to make an animated GIF for a web page like the one I have on this page.
Stay with your animation project. On the menu, go to Image / Mode / Indexed. You need to Index the images for 256 colors (0-255). When you save to GIF, it only saves in 256 colors. So Index to 256 before saving as a GIF file for better results.
On the menu go to Filters / Animation / Optimize for Gif. This will open a new project for your Gif. It significantly reduces the size of the Gif file by cutting out pieces of frames that repeat in other frames.
When you save to a gif file, it defaults to 256 colors, so you would want the picture to be much smaller so it is not so fuzzy. Go to Image / Scale Image, and reduce size to 128x146.
On the menu go to File / Save As. Save as a GIF file. In the pop up box choose Save as Animation.
In the next box check Loop forever, and frame delay at 200 milliseconds, then Save.
To preview the animated GIF, go to Filters / Animation / Playback. Or right click the GIF file and choose Open With and choose your browser.
Below is some html code to run a gif on a website. Use your website editor to type it in. If you don’t have a website, download a free html editor like CoffeeCup or PageBreeze. Type the html code below in a blank page. Use your real path in yellow. You will see what it will look like on a website.

Its quite easy to x-ray clothes into xray nude, but its no magic. Baby lock bl80 serger manual.
Finding a picture that can be x-rayed might be hardest part of x-raying clothes. Once you find it, you can follow these steps and make your first before & after xray nude picture, like the one at the end of this tutorial.
This tutorial is made for Photoshop CS6. There might be some differences with the older or newer version of Photoshop. The commands in this tutorial are basic Photoshop commands, so you should be able to use them all in old and new PS versions, they just might look or are named differently. Most of those commands are also available in other photo editing programs such as Gimp, so you can try and improvise with a program you have if you don’t have Photoshop or x-ray vision for that matter.
This tutorial is made for personal use only. Use this tutorial and x-ray pictures you make only for your own entertainment, don’t be evil trying to harass someone with those pictures.
There are also some other techniques to make see-through clothes out there and I am familiar with most of them. Technique in this tutorial is what I use, it gives best result for xray nude in my opinion.
Step #1 How to pick right pictures for x-ray nudes
Like said before, this might be the hardest part of making xray nude. There are some rules in order to get best results with an x-ray technique.
- Clothes on the picture has to be at least a little bit see-through, either made of thin fabric or wet
- Shape of nipples and preferably shape of breasts should be visible
- Pictures with a bra or other double layer of clothes won’t work
- If you are x-raying panties, look for cameltoe picture
- Try to find pictures with light color clothes, without patterns or graphics on it
- Try to find pictures with soft shadows and soft light
There are some other things that affect quality of xray nude, but you’ll understand them with experience, after you finish this tutorial and see how this works.
Once you find the right picture to x-ray, right click it and open with Photoshop.
Step #2 Selection and levels adjustments
Select clothes you want to xray nude. There are several methods to make a selection, like marquee tools, lasso, magic wand and some other ones. Magnetic Lasso Tool might be simplest for this purpose.
Icon for Magnetic Lasso Tool looks like this. Hotkey is L key. You can find it’s icon on your Tools panel, 3rd icon from above by default. If your 3rd icon is Laso Tool, just click it and hold it and you will get an option to select it.
If you don’t see Tools panel, make sure its turned on. Click on Windows on your menu bar, then check “Tools” option.
Magnetic lasso works like some kind of sticky line. Make first click on edge of clothes, then slowly run mouse along edges of clothes. Make a full circle around clothes and click again on dot you started with.
If you find it difficult to make a selection with Magnetic Lasso, you don’t have optimal properties set for Magnetic Lasso. The properties of any tool you have selected are displayed as a horizontal toolbar on top, right below the PS logo and main toolbar. Try adjusting contrast for sensitivity between different colors, or Frequency for more or less a reference points tool makes.
Making Levels mask
Pdf file resizer software, free download. Once you made a selection with Magnetic Laso, click on “Layer” on your menu bar, then “New Adjustment Layer” and select “Levels”
Levels properties window will pop up. Select Auto Options. You can find it by clicking “arrow down with horizontal lines” icon in the upper right corner of Properties window.
On the new window that pops up make a selection of “Enhance Per Channel Contrast”. You’ll see three colored triangles: Shadows, Midtones and Highlights. By clicking on each one, adjust colors to match her skin colors. Confirm it with OK
Back on the first properties window move sliders left and right until you get some optimal setting. There is no rule or pre-defined parameters here, it’ll be different for each picture. Watch the picture as you move the sliders and decide what setting works best for you.
Step #3 Making Brightness / Contrast Mask
To select part of the picture you are xraying nude, hold down Ctrl key and left click on black and white icon of your “Levels” layer. Once her shirt is highlighted, make sure Background layer is selected on your Layers window, then on menu bar navigate to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness / Contrast.
Brightness and contrast window opens up. Play around with those two sliders until you get some optimal result. Decrease brightness slightly and increase contrast.
Adding more masks
After adding those two common masks, try some more. I also often use Curve adjustment and Exposure. More masks are optional and some might not work for every picture, but try them to see what other adjustments do.
Curves adjustment is somewhat advanced, but useful once you get hung on it. In short, with curves you can alter contrast in some part of tone range. For example, you can increase contrast for midtones only by tinkering with the middle part of the graph line. Or decrease contrast of shadows by altering top of the curve.
Exposure adjustment is useful if you want to melt down or tune up the contrast of the whole area with Offset and Gamma Correction sliders.
Color Balance is pretty straight forward. I sometimes use it for xray nude, but not too often. You get to balance colors from yellow to blue, magenta to green, cyan to red. Put that mask layer on top of other layers before you do and keep in mind that you don’t have the final colors yet. You might as well use this as a final touch in step 5.
Step #4 Adding colors to x-rayed clothes
Hold Ctrl key and click on black and white icon on one of your mask layers to select x-rayed area and make new layer. You can find the New Layer icon at bottom of the Layers window, next to trash can icon.
Now select Eyedropper Tool ( hotkey I ) on your tools bar and click on nude skin to select its color.
Pick Paint Bucket Tool and fill highlighted selection. On the Layers panel change the layer’s blending mode from Normal to Hue.
Duplicate the layer you just made and change its blending mode to Soft Light. Change Opacity of that layer somewhere from 30% to 50%
Those blending settings might work differently for different pictures. Think of those settings as starting point and try to change both blending modes and opacity until you you get the best result.
Coloring nipples
Make another layer to add nipples color. By using the Brush Tool (B), make two dark red dots over her nipples. You can change brush color by clicking on the colored rectangle on the Tools toobar. Size and hardness of the brush can be changed just below your main menu toolbar.
Change blending mode of nipples layer to Soft Light and set opacity to 30%. If Soft light blending mode doesn’t work for you, try Vivid Light or Color Burn or some other blending mode. Same goes with Opacity. Play around with the opacity until you get a nice color of nipples under the shirt.
Step #5 Final touches
Details are the things that make good fake nudes. Take a good look at your xray nude. It should look like see-through clothes. If some detail looks off, you need to fix it. Here are some details that usually need some tinkering.
Adding non transparent parts of clothes
There are some parts of clothes that don’t cover the body, instead they fall freely aside. Of course, nude body is not visible under those parts, so we’ll cover those parts with original clothes and get only shape of body x-rayed. Not whole shirt
Copy Background layer on bottom by right clicking on it, then Duplicate Layer. Drag a new layer on top of all layers and name it “Non Transparent”
Using Eraser Tool (E) delete parts of clothes where clothes touch the skin. Change Opacity of eraser to 50% and erase wrinkled parts of clothes that don’t touch the skin. Leave parts of clothes that don’t cover the body. You can also leave thicker parts of clothes like a collar or some graphics or patterns on clothes. Whatever would make it more realistic.
How To X Ray With Gimp
Adding more shadows and highlights
Pay attention to the light source angle. Are all the shadows in place? Xrayed nude body inherited shadows of clothes, but those aren’t always the same as shadows of nude body would look like. Try to spot those parts.
In the Tools toolbar you’ll find Burn Tool. Once selected look up under the main menu for its properties. Set Range to Midtones and Exposure to 25%. Adjust size of the brush depending on your image resolution, so you get a circle about the size of the girl’s chin. Draw on picture to add some more shadows.
Click and hold the Burn Tool icon and pick Dodge tool. In properties change Range to Midtones and exposure around 25%. Draw on picture to add more highlights.
A nice trick here is to draw on boobs, adding more highlights where light would fall on breasts if they were exposed and add more shadows on the opposite side. Don’t overdo it, keep it realistic.
And you are done! Don’t forget to save your work.

That’s it. You can see that the clothes didn’t magically disappeared. X-raying clothes to nude is just enhancing transparency of clothes and adding come skin colors.
X-ray nudes vs. Fakeray nudes
There is a big difference between xray nude and fakeray nude. Fakeray nudes are much harder to make and you get much better result from it.
Fakeray nudes can be made with almost any picture, no matter what kind of clothes she is wearing. You can also see much more details on fakeray pictures and clothes can be more transparent than x-ray technique.
Planet racer mac. If you want a fakeray picture, make me a request and I’ll make it for you. I don’t usually take x-ray request because they are too simple and it’s just not right to charge for that work. I sometimes do them for free for my regular customers. There are some more samples of fakeray work in my fake nudes portfolio if you want to take a look.
X-ray apps and other stuff
There are some apps advertised to be apps for see through clothes. I haven’t tried them, but I get how they work. Aside from those that don’t work at all, those that do are just bad.
They have an integrated curves adjustment that is very limited and brighnes&contrast option. I… wouldn’t recommend downloading them.
There are also high-tech night-vision video cameras that can somewhat see through clothes. But its still not there yet. That is a technology of rendering the heat signature of a body in on the image. Some neat thing, but its still not the real see-through clothes vision.
And just to mention those airport scanners while I’m at it. Not that practical for this purpose, is it.

And that’s it what technology has to offer for now. Don’t get fooled into buying some stuff that doesn’t work.
Until something better comes out, have fun making x-ray nudes and remember:
Pictures you make are for your entertainment only. Don’t be a dick and try to harass someone or misuse them. Keep them to yourself.
