: How to apply color layout to an image? Is there a way to in GIMP to apply a color layout to an image? For example this image has a blue color laid out on it. How can I do something

In GIMP or any other Image editing program, the easiest way is to use Layers for this kind of thing. Check GIMP's initial documentation on Layers here: docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-layers.html
The basic concept is that each image, when open in GIMP behaves not only as a printed image on paper, but as a stack of several transparent films, the bottommost of which is your "background". By pressing ctrl + L in GIMP, you will focus the Layers dialog - just click on the New Layer icon there, choose "transparent layer" - you can now draw over your original image, without affecting its contents. There is an "Opacity" slider where you can make it partially transparent and have an effect similar to above.

Play around, and see the documentation (on layer modes, and such) to get the best results for you.
