[Gimp-user] simple how to background image

2008-04-18 Thread Bob Meetin
See an example at:

Is there a way to create an image like this in GIMP (or other heaven 
forbid) without having to spend hours copying, pasting, lining up 
pixels?  It could be circles, squares, diamonds, etc as the repeating 
pattern?

Try Inkscape for regular shapes. inskape.org

Create a new image
Use the blend tool for a gradient...
Filters  Distorts  Newsprint...
- On the Screen Section - change to Intensity

Mess with the other settings of newsprint to tweak it...

 I'm trying to take a scan of my caligraphy, and warp it into the
 proper shape—sort of like Word 'Art'. But how can I achieve this
 twisting with a scanned image?
 
 See http://typophile.com/files/text%20in%20a%20half-circle_6719.jpg
 for the effect I want, and
 http://typophile.com/files/od%20yishama_4911.gif for the text I want
 to bend.



Hi,

I suggest you use Inkscape for this type of distortion/effect, simply convert 
your text to a path and manipulate endlessly
