How lazy are you? Check out the scripts from the menu: Xtns-Script-fu-buttons... Michael wrote: Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to create this type of effect using gimp.

Re: Saving as EPS
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (2000-08-22 at 1118.24 +0530): The image saved is of 18 MB ? the same if I save it as gif it comes to about 8 Kb GIF compresses, but I dunno about EPS, I think not, or not as good as other formats. I have not worked with eps formats but I am sure 18 MB is not normal even for eps It is. You are moving a raster format to a vector format. The result is one of the least efficient you will see in life. Maybe is something about the DPI. What DPI are you using? My second problem is in color seperation all the other colors get seperated in to their respective cmyk format except for black which shows in all the four modes as otherwise it should only appear in the K(cmyK) mode IIRC there is no gray reduction or whatever the name in English. The right should be to pass all black to K channel or ask about how much, but there is not. Supposing EPS filter saves to CMYK, a thing I dunno. I used Perl for scripting and gimp 1.1.4 Old Gimp, 1.1.25 is the latest. GSR

fat fingers does it again. -Original Message- From: Bunch, Al Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 11:02 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: FW: button-like effect I don't know if you got this one or not - just for general benefit though, here's a copy for the list as well as an example. Let me know if it meets your needs - BTW, it doesn't use bump mapping. COPY OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS Not sure if this is what you're looking for but try this: open image select all (ctrl+a) right click - select - shrink (10 pixels seems to work well for most images) feather (shift+ctrl+f) (5 pixels for this image - if you don't feather it will give you a hard edge - try both ways) invert (ctrl+i) select the dodge/burn tool (looks like a dark magnifying glass) and select a caligraphic brush (any one will do but these seem easier to work with) open the tool options and select burn, exposure 100, opacity 100, mode highlights use the brush to trace the bottom and right hand selected areas when you start doing this you'll understand immediately what needs to be done - keep in mind that while holding down the mouse button that you can only burn so much - to make it darker, release and re-trace the same area. to make the light portion select dodge and trace the top and left sides. Here's a sample I just did - I yanked the picture off a website and did these exact steps. The original picture is on www.aci-hydrophonics.com in case you're curious as to what it looked like before I got ahold of it. basketa.jpg

Re: button-like effect
Just go into the go into the image menu, then Script-fu, decor, add bevel. i think that does what you want although i dont recall running it on an image. but you could at least generate your bumpmap that way. i also remember seeing a tutorial somewhere but i dont remember where for making cool buttons. check www.linuxartist.org for the tutorial links and see what you can find. bex

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ATTACHMENTS IN YOUR MAILS TO THE LIST. My (and not only mine) disk has limited capacity. Put the image somewhere on the web and send an URL only. Thanks.
