Do you mean a "vignette?" This general idea: http://www.francescomilanese.com/ENG/gimp/3-vignette-darkening-the-edges-of-an-image-in-gimp-tutorial.html If so that's it. You can also do other sneaky things to make the "foreground" subject of an image stand out, for instance copy your base image, slightly blur it and slightly reduce its contrast and/or color saturation (a tiny bit will do the trick), and add a layer mask to it. Use a radial gradient, black to white, centered on the part of the image you want to emphasize and viola: It pops. :o) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
