Re: [Gimp-user] A novice's problem: I can't reproduce the first effect of the manual (chapter 5.2 - figure 3.38)

 Hi everybody!

 some days ago I decided to improve my basic knowledge about The GIMP. I
 installed the version and I've been studying the manual  at
 http://docs.gimp.org. I've got a difficult and I cannot handle it, could
 someone help me? I met the problem at chapter 5.2
 (http://docs.gimp.org/en/ch03s05s02.html): it's impossible for me to
 reproduce the first effect in figure 3.38. I tried and tried to deform the
 grid using the Smudge Tool, but I can't obtain the right result! I tried
 to adjust the rate, I tried to flag the Hard edge... nothing! I can't
 reproduce the nice effect like in the example. Actually, I can't
 understand what the example means for low spacing because I can't find
 an option called spacing among options of Smudge Tool in GIMP 2.4.1


I think you want to activate the 'Pressure Sensitivity' and tick rate.

You might also want to try a Calligraphic Brush as it give a 'better'
effect than a circle brush

Spacing is a general brush option, and can be found in the Brushes dialog.


 Thanks in advance for your advices and for your patient with my English,
