[Gimp-user] Metal effect

[Alf C Stockton]

After reading documentation I have failed to find out how to make a drawn
image have a chrome like color.
I have found how to make text display as chrome but not a non-text item.
Can this be done ?
BTW I am using Gimp 1.2.3 on my Linux Slackware 2.4.19 system.

Hi Alf -

Check out the chrome-text tutorial at the gug website: 

http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/tomcat16/

The basic trick is to select the item(s) you want chromed, fill them with a 
gray to gray gradient, blur, bump map, and then twiddle the curves to get a 
chrome/reflection effect.

See also GGJ's neat reflection tutorial at

These should give you some good ideas about how to proceed.  Just use your own 
selection instead of text.

HTH,
