I hope its right its the only way I could make it gold

hoow did you get it like that I had to use the colorify

Layers->Colors->Colorize ...

Works a little better.

I will have to work on that I kind of stink yet working on layers.As of now I have been trying to get the layer mask thing down to help blend my pictures and its not going to well for me :m:

Yeah I really really really sucked when I started. I trouble just doing a copy and paste.
Try reading and following along with the gimp http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/index.html

Thanks this is the one I have been reading I have been at this for 2 weeks at the rate I am going I should get it in the next year or two lol

Indeed very effective tutorial especially remarkable thing is it ease.
Thanks for sharing.



[Moved to illustrated tutorials]

mine didnt turn out the same i have a lot of little specles or something that takes away from the tin foil look

see

I went in a figure 8 pattern and click fast as you can while doing it.Its not bad looking.
here is my gold one

Is this how it should be?

It should be a little shinier. Try using a low depth and an elevation of about 90.

Hey, if you are going for a crinkled paper effect:
1-Go for the above technique except for a foil that is not shiny and not massivly crinkled either.
2-Get a generic image of a lined paper and past it as a layer above the crinkled effect you just made.
3-Draw something on the paper, a lineart sketch, some text, etc.
4-Go to filters->map->displace
5-Select the crinkled effect as the x and y displacement map and adjust the displacement value to get a smooth effect.

et Voila, the lined paper and drawing should be bent around the crinkles.

This was an adaptation from http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/displacement/displacement.htm by Patrick Settlesworth <-Highly recommended you check his tutorials out.

Hey, you see, I'm kind of new to this, so what kind of version did you use? Was it the 2.2, because I use it now :h: So I couldn't really figure out everything.

It will work with your 2.2 :h:

Im new to the forums and new to gimp.
i got the blue effect by putting a blue/green layer ontop of it and lowering the opticity.

is this good?

good one dog i got it.

That tut is awesome it took like 1 minute to do it is simple and cool looking

I love this tut! Check out my end result:



Very easy to do and fun!

On the last step the key is to get the elevation up a little bit. Once again, great job on this tut.

This is my second attempt at it:

hows this look....my first try at this and i am still learning the functions of GIMP
