Re: [Gimp-user] Chrome
The thing to remember is to use a grey gradient across the text/picture. Then bump map that, then play with the levels. Make sure you have a fully black and white blurred picture to use as a bumpmap. I've often gone wrong by just blurring white text/shapes on a transparent background, which doesn't work very well, if at all. I use this effect quite a lot in my stuff. I'm no hacker or GIMP expert either, but if you follow that tutorial on http://gug.sunsite.dk to the letter then you should be fine.

[Gimp-user] Chrome
Hi, Sorry for reposting this but not sure if the first one arrived and I also just read the bit about not adding large attachments to files. Could anyone let me know how to replicate the effect shown in the images here http://www.compsoc.nuigalway.ie/~drakon/images/ I have been trying to replicate an effect I have used in Photoshop with the Filter>Sketch>Chrome Tool that it has but I havent been successful. I have tried to apply the tomcat chrome text tutorial but Im a noob to gimp so I may have been doing it wrong The first image is banner1.png The second is the photoshop tool and the third is roughly what the end result should look like. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Can anyone help? You can write a script that reads a text file describing the buttons you need and what background images to use for them. This script can then let GIMP do all the work for you. Shouldn't be too difficult; just choose the programming language you like most. You can choose from SIOD (a scheme dialect used by Script-Fu), Perl and Python.

That's right. gimp-console is basically only of interest for us hackers since it shows that we managed to separate the GUI code from the GIMP core. It might also be useful if you want to run a dedicated GIMP server (like for example flamingtext.com). It doesn't behave in any way different than 'gimp -i' or 'gimp --no-interface'.
