Note that jpeg is "lossy" - you should save as xcf or xcf.gz, and then also export as jpeg, and that way you can edit the xcf file if you later need to make changes.

With a lot of effort you could rotate different parts of the image and apply the filter, and then join the parts by hand-drawing, I expect. If you look very closely at money in a country where the money is hard to forge (not the US :-)) you'll see the engraver's lines are sometimes actually made of lines of really tiny text, too. An alternative is to find an engraved portrait and modify it a little, e.g. see http://www.fromoldbooks.org/?kw=portraits for some old engraved faces on my Web site.

There is an emboss filter and the carve-it filter in GIMP. Perhaps one of those may help you achieve the look you are after. -- Cheers!

[Gimp-user] Engraving effect?
I have done all sorts of things and most of the time, what I can't do is usually limited by my own imagination. But in this case, I'm not sure it's my imagination lacking. If you have ever taken a close look at printed currency, there is usually a particular style of engraving that goes on there. It follows the contours of the image being presented, for example. In the past, I have put my face on a $100 bill but with limited success in terms of how realistic the results were. In my view, the results were not so great because the filters I applied to my face image were of a different style and definitely did not look like money engraving. Anyone have any knowledge of filters and/or techniques which can produce the desired effect? -- erroneus (via gimpusers.com) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
