Sounds good. Will the rays of color be straight or curved? Perhaps I need to put the gradient on a diagonal for this effect. I will experiment!

So the center is not critical. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
