Re: Tutorial gradient question

It was probably not mentioned, but you should just create another layer for the gradient background.

Hi Gimp-user,

I was going through this tutorial, and got stumped.
http://ajitgraphics.blogspot.com/2008/09/neon-lights-tutorial-gimp.html

I have the white outline of the image, but I can't figure out how they
did the gradient so the background gets the gradient, but it looks
like the white outline was also affected by the gradient. I tried
various Modes, among failed attempts. :-(

I have:
 FG: Purple, BG: Green
 Tool: Blend Tool (FG to BG, Linear)

 Layer 3: Transparent Background w/white outline.
 Layer 2: Gradient (not mentioned in the tutorial but was tried by me)
 Layer 1: Black Background

Layer 3 will be duplicated twice, with Layer 4's mode set to Value,
and Layer 5 blurred 20 pixels.

Any suggestions?


Is there another way to get the effect of multiple "rough" outlines
of an image? The tutorial's creator added layers and used Filters >
Distort > Iwarp, repeating that several times.

Thank you.
