[Gimp-user] gradient based on manual (lasso) selection
GIMPers, Is there a way to create a gradient (black-white) based off a closed lasso selection? So the resulting gradient would start black along the edge of the selection and expand out to white in all directions away from the selection. My end goal is to create a quick mask that I can blur to create a background with an exaggerated out of focus look. Thanks for reading (hope that all made sense)!

Eric That's one of the uses of the WrapMap filter I wrote: http://registry.gimp.org/node/24754 http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-wrapmap/ Added bonus: you can run WrapMap to create the wrapped gradient in the layer mask. And if you use the curves dialog/tool on the mask you can change the linear gradient to something else and thus control finely how the blur appears. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] gradient lighten
Hi all, Quick newbie question. I have a photo that is full bright on one side, the left; and subdued light on the right. It seems to be an excellent job for gradient and layers but I'm not sure how to go about getting started.

I checked in tutorials and couldn't find anything on this specifically. first, read the earlier thread on adding the alpha channel to the photograph. then use the right click menu in the layers dialog and add a mask to the photograph layer then use the blend tool to add a gradient. you can adjust where the gradient colors start and end in the gradient editor (right click there also to find options for this) the strength of the gradient you are painting can be adjusted in the blend tool options. probably, you will need to add an all black or all white layer under the photograph layer.

Re: [Gimp-user] gradient-blur
For what it's worth, I went ahead and implemented a true variable blur filter, by modifying the blur plug-in code from 2.0. I'll put the code in the plug-in registry after a little bug-fixing, but anyway, I put together a comparison of what you get with variable blurring versus what you get with variable blending of blurred and sharp images -- you can see it at: http://gug.sunsite.dk/pictures/1080149573.png Please note that I am not saying that one is better than the other, just that they are different.

It works pretty well I'd say: http://jimmac.musichall.cz/stuff/linearblur.png To my eyes this image looks sharp in the lower 2/3, and uniformly blurred in the upper 1/3. What you _do_ get using this method is a nice smooth transition from blurred to unblurred, which may be all you need in many situations, especially if the blur is rather soft. Didn't occur to me prior this, but you are in fact right. Another workaround of this limitation than the GAP method may be using a huge soft parametric brush so that it's as high as the image height and paint a few lines on the top egde (so a half of the brush covers the image) using the blur tool. One needs to zoom out a bit to get a bit of space on the image border. cheers -- Jakub Steiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Jeff, I suspect Indira was referring to the results (the gradients). These you place in your ~/.gimp-1.2/gradients/ directory for an individual user, or in your /usr/local/share/gimp/gradients/ directory for system-wide access. (both these are defaults for 1.2 on a unix-like OS - if you installed differently, your directions will vary).

Re: [Gimp-user] gradient
An easier method: I have wondered about this myself in connection with palettes, which often have a nicely selected set of colors already available. I have built a pair of little perl procs to (1) sort a palette by value, hue, saturation, or hsv_value, and (2) create a gradient from a palette. In the hope that these may answer your need, I have attached them. Caveats: They are NOT documented very well. Consider them beta, at best. I have used them successfully myself, but YMMV.
