Background/Wallpaper Question
Hi,
I am very new to GIMP and I found a sample (see below link) of the kind of wallpapers I would like to create. http://sports.desktopnexus.com/wallpaper/1085769/ I guess what I would like to know are the steps I would need to be able to create something like this...? Thanks in advance |

Finding the appropriate Wade images and learning how to separate them from their backgrounds http://gimpforums.com/thread-proper-subj...d-painting 2. Creating a text layer (Text tool) and how to add a 'drop shadow' (Filters->Light and Shadow->Drop Shadow) and 'bump mapping' (Filters->Map->Bump Map) to give it a 3D look. 3. Creating a background using 'splatter'/'grunge' brushes and a 'supernova' (Filters->Light and Shadow->Supernova) Once you got those steps down... assemble each component on separate layers and adjust till satisfied . We are here to help you with the many questions you will inevitably have a long the way... ![]() |

RE: Background/Wallpaper Question
The one thing I would recommend is to find an image of Wade with a plain a background as possible. If the background dose not have too many different colours then you can make a good selection using either fuzzy select
