[Gimp-user] How do I create a rough, noisy concrete texture
The background at http://data.markjardine.com/tumblr/img/bg_texture.png looks like it it could have been made following this tutorial http://gimp-tutorials.net/gimp-pattern#comment-4062 You can vary various things to get the effect you want, here is something that is perhaps a little coarse and dark compared to what you want http://members.pcug.org.au/~rcook/cf1.html Hi Owen. That tutorial creates a very regular and smooth looking pattern. Marks background image looks a lot less regular and less smooth. It looks more like an artifact from nature, like a sandy surface, where the tutorial pattern looks the opposite - the product of a mechanized process. Thanks for chipping in, but I'm after an effect that is quiet different. -- bob (via www.gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I am more for stuff likje this when talking concrete, though: http://www.pion.com.br/~gwidion/concrete.png A little of the above + secret sauce + bump map secret sauce recipe: 1.new image 2. filters-noise-hurl 3. colors-desaturate 4. layers-duplicate 5. on the bottom layer, filters-blur-gaussian blur, radius 3 6. on the top layer, set the layer to darken only 7. combine the 2 noise layers 8. create new layer, fill with medium gray 9. filters-map-bump map; source = noise layer, angle = 10ยบ. 10. optionally use color-curves to fit your gray range.

[Gimp-user] Semi-transparent spheres
I need to make a graphic which is basically a set of semi-transparent concentric spheres. The transparency should be such that you can see the inner spheres within the outer ones. I guess the basic question is how to make things appear semi-tranparent. Any suggestions? George -- George G.

I'd rather not have to go to another tool to create SVGs (I would like to move my website to exclusively using SVGs and only serving up PNGs to browsers that don't support SVG yet). The SVG Export tool does not work (I followed the directions to the T the last time I tried it and all it did was crash GIMP). SVG is a vector format, not a raster format; GIMP is a raster image editor. Why should GIMP support SVG export? At least, there seems no advantage in using GIMP over using Inkscape to make SVGs, and many disadvantages. I know SVG is a vector format. Why? Well for one I think GIMPs interface is superior to that of Inkscape. That for me makes all the difference. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Unwanted printout borders
Hi. I'm new to Gimp. I'm using version 2.6.6. on a Windows Vista Home Premium, and everything seems to work well, except for the following printing problem. When I printout a sheet size 8.5 x 11 on my Epson Stylus CX6600, the printouts have a thin black line a few millimeters from the left and top edge of the sheet. These border lines are not part of my image. I don't know where these lines are coming from nor how to get rid of them. I tried using my printer preferences and clicking the borderless box, but it had no effect. Does anyone have advice on how to fix this problem?
