That's one of the uses of the WrapMap filter I wrote: http://registry.gimp.org/node/24754 http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-wrapmap/ Added bonus: you can run WrapMap to create the wrapped gradient in the layer mask. And if you use the "curves" dialog/tool on the mask you can change the linear gradient to something else and thus control finely how the blur appears. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
