Need help on GIMP

[Ilyas786]

On GIMP, how do I do the glow effect for the Pokemon on banners and sprites, it would be really helpful if I new so I could make better sprites with them.

Well I haven't used gimp in about 2 years, but on Photoshop you double click the final layer (the applied image) and click outerglow.

Thanks for the useless post; your post pertains to PhotoShop, while his question is for GIMP.

On topic: Can you please show me an example of this effect so I can help?

there's a plugin somewhere, but what i do is duplicate the layer, gauss blur it a few times, then colorize. duplicate/add effects if necessary.

Something like this (http://www.wsgrpg.net/sprites/Neon/Teddiursa.png).

Just duplicate and Gaussian blur...

Or if you want a single color blur, do a "Layer" - "Transparency" - "Alpha to Selection", then go to "Select" - "Grow" And grow by two. Fill the selection with the color of choice, and cancel the selection. Then go to "Filters" - "Blur" - "Gaussian Blur" and blur by your choice of level.

Give me about an hour, I'll make a script to do this for you.

Put it in your scripts folder (it will be in the same place as the other gimp folders; fonts, brushes, et cetera), and restart gimp or or click on <Image>/Filters/Script-fu/refresh scripts.

Adds the menu item <Image>/Filters/Decor/Add Glow

Fill selection with colour of choice?

This is basically all you need to do if you don't understand any of the really complicated things.

[Jefff]

What?

"What" what?

I didn't understand.

Save that file I linked above in your gimp scripts folder, it will be in the same place as the other gimp resource folders, like brushes and fonts. On windows, I think it's in c:\Documents and Settings\username\.gimp(version)\scripts.

After saving it in there, restart gimp, open the image you want, and go to <Image>/Filters/Decor/Add Glow in the menu.

[edit] The file might take a while to download, but it's working, just a slow server.

Use the paint bucket. -.-

You just save the file I linked above in the directory named "Scripts", and it will be an item in the menu.
