[Gimp-user] alternating brighter and normal-color stripes

2004-06-07 Thread klaus triendl
hi,

as i don't know how it is called what i wanna make, i paraphrise it:

at gnome.org and other gnome-related sites there is a background image
at the very top of the site, having alternating brighter and
normal-color stripes.

how can i reach this effect?

You could render a white grid (with only horizontal lines in it) on a
transparent layer on top of your image - then play with the layer
opacity until you're satisfied.

There's a plug-in for rendering grids included with the GIMP, but I
haven't got access to a GIMP installation right now, so I can not tell
you the menu path :/

It's somewhere below Image/Filters/Render/ I think.

Regards,
Brix

GIMP 2.0 includes a pattern just for this very purpose. All you need
to do is to create an empty layer on top of your image, choose one of
the Stripes patterns and drop it on the image (or use the Bucket
Fill tool to fill the empty layer with that pattern). Then adjust the
layer opacity to your needs.
