How do you bump out a kitchen window?

We are trying to enlarge our kitchen window. After much photo searching, I think we want to bring it down to the counter and bump it out. I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around how to take measurements for such a project--what size the opening needs to be, what of the bump buildout gets cunuted--that kind of thing. I'd like to bump it out about 8" but also would like it to be supportable with some brackets instead of a major wall project. Does the existing header matter if we are bumping out? Has anyone seen a good explanation for figuring all this out? And, any additional comments welcome.... Photos are below...forgive the dishes...
