[Gimp-user] Neon effect on jpg ?'s
Hello all. Noob here, with a question. I've used GIMP just enough to humiliate myself at my lack of knowledge, and am trying to get a handle on the whole image manipulation thing. For a first project, I'm trying to make a wallpaper for my phone. My idea involves neon text (from the tutorial on this page http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/neon-glow-text) on top of a logo I've found in a jpg, both of those over a starry night sky. The text is no problem. The tutorial referenced above was easy to use and understand. I thought I could apply the same steps to the black-and-white image here http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb261/HHMACHSHOP/THEBOLT.jpg but it didn't work. I suppose the problem is that I'm starting with two different things, i.e. starting from scratch with the text vs trying to manipulate a jpg. I've tried experimenting along the way, but it's hard to experiment when I'm not sure what I'm doing in the first place. I'm sure what I'm trying is possible, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Any ideas or suggestions? Tia. -- Longstreet (via gimpusers.com) ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Neon effect on jpg ?'s
The tutorial assumes white text on a transparent layer, with a black layer background. You can do this by starting with your THEBOLT image and using color to alpha http://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-colortoalpha.html to make the black transparent. Then just follow steps 3,4, and 5. -Rob A On Tue, Aug 23, 2011 at 2:17 PM, Longstreet for...@gimpusers.com wrote: I suppose the problem is that I'm starting with two different things, i.e. starting from scratch with the text vs trying to manipulate a jpg.

Any ideas or suggestions? Tia. Another way is to create a path from the text and then use a Python script of mine to neon-ify the text. It's all explained here (with pointer to engraving fonts necessary in some cases): http://gimp-path-tools.sourceforge.net/ The neon script is described in the Decorations page, and I recommend reading the Paths FAQ page. An exemple of what you can get with the script; http://i26.servimg.com/u/f26/12/46/16/36/neonof11.png Btw, a better format for these computer graphics is PNG, that you phone will very likely accept. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
