[Gimp-user] Rough metallic surface

2011-08-01 Thread rich
I wanted to make a rough metallic surface and I ended up with this by 
fiddling around with a back-to-white gradient and emboss it. I finally 
got a clean 200x200 image that alings seamlessy and can be used as a 
pattern:

(You can make it golden by colorify with yellow.)

Are there any other strateiges for making a rough metallic surface?

(Feel free to use this pattern if you like it.)

You might use a bump map. Open a suitable image, plenty if you search google 
images, in your case perhaps part of a larger image as a base. Then in your new 
image it is filters - map - bumpmap and point at the 'rusted' image.

You get an effect like this. http://i.imgur.com/73HYK.jpg

Since you are aiming at a small image for a tilable pattern, then its filters 
- map - make tilable.

 Furthermore, getting started on your site was just hell on wheels and I still

 if the
 answer to my post will be sent to my email box.  RR

I assume you sent your message through www.gimpusers.com? This is the
_mailing-list_ gimp-user, which is not run by www.gimpusers.com. A lot
of people get confused by that since www.gimpusers.com call it a forum:

Our forums are connected to the official mailing lists. The
interface provides a way to read and answer mailing list messages in
a forum-like style.

So if you want to give feedback on the www.gimpusers.com
interfaces/website, get in touch with them instead (perhaps via
http://twitter.com/gimpusers, I can't see that they have an official
feedback button).


I prefer to read the mailing list through this interface instead:

http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.gimp.user

There's a link Post a message on the left hand side (under Options) to
post new threads, or you can press Reply under individual messages.
You don't have to log in anywhere, but the first time you send a message
you'll get an email that you just have to send back (to prove that
your email exists).

Re: [Gimp-user] Suggestions for GIMP layout

 On my machine /usr/local/ is writable by my own user name. In fact my 
 own user name owns /usr/local and all its subordinates. So rights are 
 not the problem.  I just have to go through more clicks than is 
 reasonable just to get back to where I started. 

So the default path of the export dialog as described in the Save  Export 
specification for 2.8 should fulfill your needs:

 You might also want to try browsing the archives of the wacom list,
 then maybe join that list and ask for help there.

I'm on that list, and indeed, asking for help there lead to me finding
that when I upgraded to Natty, xserver-xorg-input-wacom didn't upgrade
and was lost.  I just had to reinstall it and everything started working.
