New image. 2. Add two layers a. Layer Paper Midtone gray (#88) or unsaturated color tint (say #88 for an unsaturated yellow) b. Layer Text Black on white 3. Blur Text layer slightly (approximately 5 pixels, starting value) 4. Make Paper Active layer 5. Filters-Map-Bump Map... 6. In dialog, Select Text layer for Bump Map: Parameter setting. 7. Use scroll bars to pan around Paper layer preview, until you locate text image 8. Experiment with other parameters 9. Hit OK when you've got it. Have fun. And remember, there's always more than one way to do it. Garry ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Wacom works but Gimp misses pressure
Michael Guse wrote: Hi there ! I have installed a Wacom Intuos tablet on my machine. snipped... Now when I am going to use Gimp it also sees the movement and it sees the different tools (i.e. eraser and pen) but it nearly never sees the pressure. Often folks forget to turn XInput on. They have windowing systems that automagically convert pressure tablet events into plain old X-Y mouse events, throwing pressure and tilt evaluators away. To ask for unadulterated tablet events right-mouse-button-Dialogs-Input Devices... Select wacom Device Select Mode (screen maps the tablet rectangle to the entire screen; window maps it to the Gimp canvas window) Many Gimpers use Linux and the XFree86 X-Window system and GTK+ has built-in prejuduces for this combination. This environment has tablet drivers that pack the valuators in X-Y-Pressure-X_Tilt-Y_Tilt order. Your environment may vary from this ordering. The Axis tab allows you to experiment with this ordering. X Y are almost universally first, but the remaining parameters can vary. These options not offered? No options offered? Check if the tablet is properly configured for XInput devices. You will likely have to look at Wacom and your X Window system (Or Windows literature -- you've given no hint about your hardware) Possibly your GTK+ package was not built with XInput enabled. Look in the config.status for a line like --with-xinput=xfree (options: xfree | xid) As anybody a idea what this might be? Those are mine. Hope they are of some help.
