Today we will be making camoflage backgrounds using the script I have provided below. If you need help installing scripts, please refer to the search tool in the upper-right corner of this page.

Here we go:

1. Make a new image, it can be any size you want (I use 420 by 300).

2. Make a new layer, and make sure it's white and not transparent.

3. Delete your background layer.

4. Go to Script-Fu > Alpha to Logo > Bovination. Choose a background color and leave the rest of the settings alone.

5. There should now be 3 layers. A layer that looks like a cow (hence the name Bovination), a Blur layer, and a Background layer with the color you chose on it.

6. Use the Select by Color tool (Select > By Color) to select all the white areas on the camoflage/cow layer.

7. Use the Cut tool (Edit > Cut) to get rid of the white area.

8. You should be able to see your background layer through your Blur layer. You can delete the blur layer if you want. If you're going to keep it, you should move it so it covers the entire image.

9. You will notice small white areas around the edges of the black camo. Use the Colorize tool (Layer > Colors > Colorize) and set the Lightness to -100.

10. Gaussian Blur the image (Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur) to help blend the two colors.

I hope you got something like this:

Now you can fool around as much as you like, maybe add a render and some text.
