[Gimp-user] Metal effect

2003-02-22 Thread Alf C Stockton
After reading documentation I have failed to find out how to make a drawn image have a chrome like color. I have found how to make text display as chrome but not a non-text item. Can this be done ? BTW I am using Gimp 1.2.3 on my Linux Slackware 2.4.19 system. --- Regards, Alf Stockton

Hi Alf - Check out the chrome-text tutorial at the gug website: http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/tomcat16/ The basic trick is to select the item(s) you want chromed, fill them with a gray to gray gradient, blur, bump map, and then twiddle the curves to get a chrome/reflection effect. See
