Why don't you make one using the Gimp? ;-) You can draw the frame in white on a black background, apply "Gaussian Blur" to it, make a second layer, and apply "Filters > Light and Shadow > Lighting Effects..." with the bottom layer (black/white) as a bump map. A nice effect can be achieved by selecting the black layer, shrinking the selection, then applying "Selection> Border" (with "Feather" set) to it and fill this border with white. This results in a nice 3D border that can be used as a bump map for "Lighting Effects...".

Can > you explain more please? What I want is a good image of an empty billboard, that is transparent except for the billboard itself. Then I can add arbitrary content to the billboard and place it on an arbitrary background. For a quick/dirty example, see http://www.squirrel.nl/pub/xfer/billboard.xcf . Before starting the tedious job of micro-cut and paste I just wanted to ask if anyone else already had such a thing. -- Johan ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Billboards
I don't really see what you're trying to do -- If you download that billboard image, then take another image you want to put in that white space on the billboard, then that is completely trivial. Can you explain more please?
