Re: [Gimp-user] How to do Angled Gradient Fills
Hi I do all smooth lines with select menu: For example if you have a hand path - you can then make a selection from it (from Path Tab). You can allways save your selections to channels (From selection Tab) so you can leter to channel to selection (from channel Tab) Then make a selection from the curved path (that you have inside the hand) - this selection should bigger than (at leaset 100px bigger in this example) the hand. Then from menus Select-Feather (for exapmle 100px) and add the darker color to it. Then get again you hand selection, then Select-Invert and cut out all outside of the hand. It's simple to show but hard to describe.

Wanted to add Hope This Helps not HPH :) But this is not important. Maybe you can combine my example whit masks and to it a bit easyer Valter On 7/3/06, Kungla [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I do all smooth lines with select menu: For example if you have a hand path - you can then make a selection from it (from Path Tab).
