Answer 2

Yes you can make that kind of picture`s with gimp.This is how you do it.I will use the first picture of the lady`s as a example.first you open

up gimp and then file and click and open up the file that you have have

your picture`s in and put the picture that you want into the gimp.then you go to layer`s box and click on the arrow that is across from it click on it click on layer`s menu. And make  new layer`s and make it transparent.make two copy`s of the transparent layer.you can make copy`s by clicking on the icon that look`s like two little picture`s at the bottom of the layer`s,Channel`s box.make all of the layer`s all the same size.Put the picture that you picked under the transparent that you made.You can do that by high lighting the picture and clicking on the arrow icon down at the bottom of the layer box next to the copy`s icon.Step 1 make the color`s to do that use the rectangle select tool in the tool box and make a box the size of the box that you want the first color`s to be and then fill it with the color`s that you want it the go to select and open it up and click on none and then click on the rectangle select tool again and make a second box that is thin.And fill it with white color.And then go back to select and click on it and click on none and keep doing that until you get all the color`s that you keep making a white box between the color`s you want.Then use the rectangle select tool to cut out the whole box that you have the colors in.To do that go to edit and click on it after you have the box with color`s selected with the rectangle select tool click on cut.And then highlight the box that you have your picture in and go to edit and click on it and click on paste and paste it on to the picture.Then go to the Opacity slider and slide it back and forth  to what ever Opacity you want the it to be.after you have the opacity you want go to layer`s again go to layers menu and click on Anchor layer Then you

may have to open up the file that you have the other picture`s in such

has flower`s or star`s in them.Then right click on them and hold and drag them to the other transparent layer`s.And do the same thing you did with the colors layer. You can do this with the other picture`s you may have to cut out some of the part`s of the picture`s that you don`t want and use the Smudge tool on some of the picture`s. here are some tutorial`s that can help you with what you want to do with gimp

Answer 4

Gimp will do this, but whatever software you use there is a lot to learn before you can emulate these examples. Mostly it is a question of learning how to work with layers, transparency and use of brushes etc. Also, some sites actually show multiple images over each other, in order to get these effects, so the picture is NOT as it looks on line.
