I even copied your moon. Made my image the same size as yours - 400x400. Followed your settings as you wrote them up there. I'm not getting the spread like yours.

That is so wierd. Did leave the Autocrop out both times?

Your moon is nicer than mine though!! Mine is a bit wonky on the top end.

I have been palying around with the calendar script. You're right it is a lot of fun. Would it be possible for you to write a tut on how you achieved your clalendar signature?

PS: Just curious. Do you live in Oregon?

Yes, I live in Oregon on the south coast in a very small town.

As far as doing a tut about making that calendar sig, I will ask saulgoode if it's ok with him first since it's his script.

That moon, I made it by dragging and dropping your image onto the Gimp toolbox, made a new layer and used the Ellipse select tool to copy the big circle, then a smaller circle to subtract from it that pretty much fit the small hole then filled the resulting selection with black.

Nothing was cropped in my image at all. I started and ended with a 400x400px square.

Okay here's my result using your Flower and Fog xcf files:



The animation is a bit strange, but Ithink that's my fault

Seems like the problem of non-billowy clouds is in your Neon Filter???

Aha! You gave me a clue. I started from scratch on the moon in Gimp2.6 and made Neon 160. It billows very nicely.

I started from scratch on the moon in Gimp2.4 and made Neon 500. Should have gone a lot higher to make it as billowy as the one in 2.6

The mystery is solved! Thank you Silvertayl for sticking with me and helping me figure out what was going on.

The colors don't quite match but I wasn't going to quibble about that.

So let me see if I got this right. You made the original tut in 2.4 and set your Neon to 160 when to get billowy you should have used 500 or higher. In 2.6 you set the Neon to 160 and that got you athe result similar to the one I got:?:

I use Gimp Portable the lastest one and the Neon Filter only goes as high as 200, so in the newer versions of Gimp the Neon Filter is more intense than the older ones.

I'm pleased you have got it sorted out it was obviously driving you to distraction. Glad I could be of some help as I've only beem using gimp for a year and still learning lots.

Thank you for this tut the fog/clouds can be used for many applications

I guess this means you are no longer 'living under a non-billowy cloud'

That's correct. I made a new ghost and the Neon setting is 700. I went back into the filter and I could put in 1000 and go even higher! 1000 doesn't look a lot different from the 700 I used in this updated ghost.

I also used the fog filter instead of clouds difference. Where that fog came from I don't know but I found a foggify.py plug-in on the Internet. I don't have it in my plug-ins folder in either version but I have Fog on both computers. You can check out the plug-in here. Perhaps it's included in a script somewhere.

I'm living under clouds that are billowing and throwing down zillions of rain drops here.


It took both of us to get it figured out though. *grin* You are welcome and I'm happy you like it.

Updated ghost.

Here's another version:

That's cool, Silvertayl. The frame timing gives the feeling of a clock ticking. It looks like you didn't delete your top frame or was that pause deliberate?

I used 20 frames and I did delete the 21st. I didn't mean for there to be a pause.

Oh dear, looks like I still have GAP issues

I just downloaded your image and it still has frame 21 in it.

Does it? Well I'll be bunged on both sides!!!!

Noooooooo!!! Consider the pause a place to rest.

very nice silvertayl... love the first one best.

Here is my first gap tute adventure.....

Molly, I'm soooo proud of you. You tackle things and keep working at them until you figure out how to do them.

Done like a pro. Great job!

I'm delighted you finally have GAP and you will be learning about it. Cool beans!
