View Full Version : How can i do this in GIMP? Skipperkirk 01-31-2005, 12:49 PM see this picture--> Here (http://www.generationchurch.org/images/nav01on.jpg) how can i (using GIMP) make those lines on the picture? ive seen it on alot of pictures on the web...is there a tutriol (sp?) about it somewhere? thanks! Skipperkirk please help ;) MaGiCSuN 01-31-2005, 01:07 PM what i always do in photoshop atleast is this: i open a new image, 10 pixels by 10 pixels. I pick the pencil tool and draw a line from the upper left corner till the down right corner. then i hit ctrl + a to select all (make sure your background is transparent) then i go to Edit > define as pattern then on the image you want those lines, you make a new layer, click on the "bucket" and fill the layer with the pattern you just made. But i'm not sure if the gimp has an option to make patterns ? an other way would be to fill the whole image with all those little images, but that's a pain really. Try the help files to see if there is any usefull in there about "patterns" :) Love, Mirna Skipperkirk 01-31-2005, 01:11 PM how do you make it darker than the reg picture? could you post a link to a picture you've done maybe? thanks! skipperkirk MaGiCSuN 01-31-2005, 01:13 PM no no, i don't think you understand it really :) you make a seperate image, and draw a line on it, nothing else. it will be your "template" and that line you can give the colour black, or pink or whatever you want. Then when you define it as a pattern, and go back to your original image, make a new layer on that one and fill that layer with the pattern then the lines will show, but the background is transparent so it will show the original image below. Love, Mirna Skipperkirk 01-31-2005, 01:18 PM yes, i know how to do that...if you notice, on that image, it isnt just a black, pink, or whever link...it is just slightly darker than the image itself...how do i do that? thanks skipperkirk Skipperkirk 02-01-2005, 07:43 AM well i found out how to do it using ms paint and ms word lol! :lolol: but does anyone know if there is a faster way to do it with GIMP? thanks! Skipperkirk PS, an online tutriol would be cool :) sputter 02-02-2005, 07:36 AM One possibility would be to create a brush, then change the opacity of the brush to 50% or so. Here is a a quick brush tutorial with brush image (http://www.livejournal.com/community/sweet_brevity/16781.html). Skipperkirk 02-02-2005, 07:46 AM oh wow! thanks! (trying it out now) sputter 02-02-2005, 08:31 AM No worries, I figured I could help someone tonight ;) |
