Right, thanks. I've worked out how to offset (only need the x offset) but the clone tool has a cirle with a line through it? - looks like it wont work for some reason? Thanks again. -- Nick W ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Sorry, just worked it out. Too hard for me i think, the 'fog' pattern is way to complex, i'll try find a way to do it with somthing that has 'make tileable' Cheers -- Nick W ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Is there a way that if i use the script-fu - fog thing I can then make part of the layer fade away? - it's for a 80px deep 'header' so if i can make the right hand edge fade into the background it'd work? Sorry to be a pain ;-) i just really like this effect and would love to use it.. -- Nick W ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Sorry to be a pain ;-) i just really like this effect and would love to use it.. Threw is a thread on how to fade a layer into transparency going on right now - see the messages with subject Fade one edge of photo to trans.. However, there are no secrets for those who have understood the way layer masks work: Just add an opaque (white) mask to your layer, and paint on it with the blender tool, with linear and no repeats as options, make a gradient from white to black on the edge you want transparency. It is also worth to note that the pyhon-fu add fog actually uses the filters-render-clouds-plasma plug-in in a mask. The plasma sibling on the same menu, solid noise, does have a tileable option.

OK! i've kinda got what i want with the plasma thingy but it has a *black* background, regardless of what colors i have in the fg/bg - do you know how i might make the background transparent? - a mask? thanks for the help :-) -- Nick W ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

If the clone tool cursor looks like that, it means you haven't set the source to clone from: it can't copy if you haven't told it what to copy. See http://docs.gimp.org/en/ch03s03s08.html for more information.
