How would you use GIMP to create an image containing (poorly) hidden letters or numbers?
I'll explain: Take a look at this image: http://www.sesameworkshop.org//uploaded-images/1211/0-0.gif This is an image used in a little game at sesamestreet.com. The idea is that children click on the camouflaged letters in the images. In this image there are 4 hidden letters:A,E,S,F. I want to create a similar game, but I have no artistic ability. Instead of drawing a picture, I want to take a generic photograph and embed letters and numbers in the picture. They need to be hidden, but not so well hidden that pre-school children would not be able to find them. One possible way would be to... 1) break the picture into appropriately sized areas of the same basic color. (I have no real idea how to do this automatically.) 2) place a letter in one of those areas 3) rotate the letter a little (to eliminate obvious straight lines) 4a) apply a texture to the letter that matches the 4b) or bump-map the letter Obviously I want to script this. It occurs to me that this might be easier to do with ImageMagick. Thanks, Jeff LePage -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
