Re: FW: button-like effect
hi, And some of us check our email at the command line, and seeing all that garbled mime junk is rather annoying. If one gives a URL, I can paste it into netscape. A mime attachment needs to be saved, demimed, then viewed -- not something I bother doing unless it's important. Set up a geocities account for putting the pictures if you don't have access to web space. Thanks! a properly configured PINE can read and view attachments of any kind of course ;-) alan
Re: FW: button-like effect
Not to keep this going (and making myself a hypocrite) but this is way off topic and getting rather annoying.

fat fingers does it again. -Original Message- From: Bunch, Al Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 11:02 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: FW: button-like effect I don't know if you got this one or not - just for general benefit though, here's a copy for the list as well as an example. Let me know if it meets your needs - BTW, it doesn't use bump mapping. COPY OF ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS Not sure if this is what you're looking for but try this: open image select all (ctrl+a) right click - select - shrink (10 pixels seems to work well for most images) feather (shift+ctrl+f) (5 pixels for this image - if you don't feather it will give you a hard edge - try both ways) invert (ctrl+i) select the dodge/burn tool (looks like a dark magnifying glass) and select a caligraphic brush (any one will do but these seem easier to work with) open the tool options and select burn, exposure 100, opacity 100, mode highlights use the brush to trace the bottom and right hand selected areas when you start doing this you'll understand immediately what needs to be done - keep in mind that while holding down the mouse button that you can only burn so much - to make it darker, release and re-trace the same area. to make the light portion select dodge and trace the top and left sides. Here's a sample I just did - I yanked the picture off a website and did these exact steps. The original picture is on www.aci-hydrophonics.com in case you're curious as to what it looked like before I got ahold of it. basketa.jpg

Re: button-like effect
Just go into the go into the image menu, then Script-fu, decor, add bevel. i think that does what you want although i dont recall running it on an image. but you could at least generate your bumpmap that way. i also remember seeing a tutorial somewhere but i dont remember where for making cool buttons. check www.linuxartist.org for the tutorial links and see what you can find. bex
Re: FW: button-like effect
PLEASE DO NOT SEND ATTACHMENTS IN YOUR MAILS TO THE LIST. My (and not only mine) disk has limited capacity. Put the image somewhere on the web and send an URL only. Thanks.
