Quoting Ashutosh S. for...@gimpusers.com: But how they produced the shadow that too in 3d box effect, actually I searched a lot on the net to check what this process can be called but no clue, can anybody suggest I would probably call it an exploded view. First, you need to select and copy the area you want to explode. Second, paste that to new layer. Third, use the Scale and Move tools to increase the size of and reposition the exploded layer. Fourth, use the Paths tool to draw a path around the outside corners of both the original region and the exploded layer (see the path I created in the XCF file below). Fifth, create a new transparent layer and place it between the two existing layers. Sixth, perform a Select-From path Seventh, use the Blend tool to draw a FG to transparent gradient on the transparent layer. Eighth, optionally reduce the Opacity of the gradient layer. If you load the following file into GIMP, you will see an example which contains all of the elements described above (original selection, path, and layers). http://flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com/Temp/ExplodedView.xcf.gz ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Thank you everyone. Got almost similar effect by tracing the background layer on an transparent layer with smoother curves (holding shift did the trick). Thanks again. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Taking into account that you're new to Gimp, I would rather suggest using a vector graphics program such as Inkscape (you can download the latest version from http://www.inkscape.org/). You can import the photograph in question into Inkscape [via CTRL + I] and draw over it using Inkscape's curve tools. I usually make a second layer for the drawing and make this semi-transparent [via the Layers menu]. This way, you still see the photograph on the bottom layer. When you're finished drawing, all you have to do is, to delete the photograph, make the second layer fully opaque again, select the drawing you made [CTRL + A] and export the drawing as a PNG [CTRL SHIFT + E].

[Gimp-user] How to do Angled Gradient Fills
Hi, I'm trying to work out an easy way to do a path stroke gradient fill. What I'm trying to do is: I have a path that is a curved line and what I want to do is gradient fill from the path to a number of pixels perpendicular to the path. (On both sides - but of course one side is good enough - I then just have to do it twice using the median colour) Not a problem if I have to stroke the path as a line then work with the bitmap (which is what I did below for the straight line) If it was a straight line - that's easy enough, but since it is a curve (actually lots of them) I can't work out how to do it (except of course to manually colour it in with the air brush - though I'm no good at doing that at all) Here's a simple example of 2 colours and then for the straight line, the gradient fill, then for the curved line - ? http://66.40.35.24/CurveGradient.png And of course if the path is something like a crescent moon, it's even more difficult. -Any help greatly appreciated ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

A, I am not sure if the following produces the effect you desire, but it should be easy enough to test it out. * Activate the QuickMask and stroke your path with a WHITE pen. * Deactivate QuickMask. * Use the Blend tool to fill the selection with the appropriate gradient. You will probably wish to set the Shape to Shaped (angular). ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

So what I did was try it twice on two layers, once from low to middle and once from middle to high. Then chopped out half of each.

Re: [Gimp-user] How to do Angled Gradient Fills
Hi I do all smooth lines with select menu: For example if you have a hand path - you can then make a selection from it (from Path Tab). You can allways save your selections to channels (From selection Tab) so you can leter to channel to selection (from channel Tab) Then make a selection from the curved path (that you have inside the hand) - this selection should bigger than (at leaset 100px bigger in this example) the hand. Then from menus Select-Feather (for exapmle 100px) and add the darker color to it. Then get again you hand selection, then Select-Invert and cut out all outside of the hand. It's simple to show but hard to describe.
