[Gimp-user] How do I make a 3D book and CD image from book cover

2011-03-18 Thread rich
Hi I am sure people here must be able to do this.

This page 
http://conqueringstress.com/
has an example of a 3D book that I would like to know how to make on GIMP or 
through some other means starting from a square 1D cover.



I would  also like to know how to make a good CD image from a square book 
cover:

This isn't a great example because it doesn't show image transfer to CD 
without distortion:

but you get the general idea.

Thanks In Advance


This will get you part of the way.

I think this type of image is best done with inkscape see:
http://screencasters.heathenx.org/episode-037/
and the repeating CD discs are easily made with 'create tiled clones'. - For 
Gimp, I would say copy and paste and a bit of time.

2011-03-18 Thread John Culleton
Just isntalled 2.6.11. I note that some people have installed 2.7.2. 
Is there a summary somewhere of the new features available with 2.7.2?

- More text on canvas options

In short, everything is neater.
