I can't connect each end of the path Sad

It says in the GIMP manual to ctrl and click but that still doesn't work Mad

When I gaussian blur it, it blurs the whole picture Mad

...

You're not doing it correctly. After using the selection tool, you need to go back to the dialog, and press...

darn, my memory's failing me.

I need to press...... desaturate? I tried that too Waaa!

Ok, so I downloaded some of obsidian's brushes for GIMP, but can't figure out how to get them onto the program... HELP!! Waaa!

by Thunder-blade Thu Apr 02, 2009 9:43 pm

I posted a tutorial on that... it's somewhere around here.. Wink

Can I have a link to these brushes?

by 667thLegion Thu Apr 02, 2009 9:49 pm

Yeah, here. I actually forget where I stored those brushes, so I might just have to download them again. Embarassed

So... has anyone used that tutorial I linked to about making planets?

by Zepher Thu Apr 02, 2009 10:28 pm

TB, as new MOD I command you to make links to each toturial in this thread (remember, to link to a post directly, click the post's title, in this case RE: GIMP and Photoshop Techniques.)

Aww... I was hoping that you weren't gonna say that. Wink

I'll have to get to it then!

I've been playing around with different filters, color changes, and layers in the hopes of making a nice wallpaper for my computer. I have to say, this is a pretty good start Razz

. Although, I should have color-balanced the flame overlay before merging it down. Kind've stands out instead of blending with the scene Wink

Alright, I figured it out!! Ok, when you download the brush, hit "open", then go to the bottom of your screen at the start, right click, go to "Explore" find your GIMP program, click until you find the "brushes" folder, and paste the downloaded brushes into the folder. It works!!!! I am HAPPY!!!

Have fun looking through 56 pages! And don't forget links too!

Good luck, Modunder.

@PD, yes, I've tried it, but it's not quite satisfactory, but it's pretty good.

by pdragon27 Thu Apr 02, 2009 11:21 pm

Could I see the result? I haven't tried it yet...

by Alpha Fri Apr 03, 2009 1:20 am

Made the surface/texture too large.

I should've scaled it down then cropped it. Mad

I've downloaded it and I have a question: Can and how can you apply a color to a solid, particularly a Lego plate/baseplate, to make it appear to be another color while retaining studs and other Lego-esque qualities?

by Alpha Fri Apr 03, 2009 1:58 am

Well, it depends. Actually, you probably could, but it'd be really time constraining, as a Bucket Fill only gets the particular shade of the baseplate, so it'd only fill a part of it. Either way, it wouldn't look real. Razz

by 80-0 Fri Apr 03, 2009 2:00 am

Time consuming? My middle name is time... Razz

Anyhoo, instructions would be da bomb if you could. Wink

by Thunder-blade Fri Apr 03, 2009 2:15 am

Easy.

Just use the tool with shortcut "B". (I can't for the life of me remember what it is called! Laughing

)

And select the whole baseplate, go to Color>Color Balance and change the colors!

by Alpha Fri Apr 03, 2009 2:16 am

I

'd.

I honestly should do that, even though it wouldn't look like it at all. Razz

by Thunder-blade Fri Apr 03, 2009 2:18 am

If you could select it properly you could probably pull it off..

by Alpha Fri Apr 03, 2009 2:20 am

Possibly, but Color Balance only colors it transparent, not bold colors.

It's my new wallpaper. I was originally gonna have 1 Marine in a Sandstorm, 1 underwater, and 1 in space, but I decided to have them all in a sandstorm, victorious. Based on that ARC Gunner picture.
