| This is the first step of the Kit tutorial. Open a new image 200 x 200 with background blue and colors set to 16 million. Set foreground color an orange (Red 255, Green 128, Blue 0). Using "air brush" (Size=50, Shape=round, Opacity=128, Paper=none) swipe the image. We're just building a palette. I can imagine other ways of doing this. Reduce the color depth to 256 (color-decrease-256) and clear the image (edit-clear). | |
|
| Using the same air brush settings, stripe the left side of the image. Swipe quickly top to bottom, trying to stay sort of straight. Don't swipe it twice as it may get too dense, clear and swipe it again if you need to do it over. Notice the "noise" effect. We would not get that with color depth at 16 million. That's why we reduced. The "noise" filter doesn't do this very well so we're painting instead. | |
|
| Increase color depth back to 16 million colors (color-increase-16 million). Add wind effect to make it look like grass (image-deformations-wind) set to (from left, strength=1). | |
|
|
Rotate the image so the grass is on the bottom (image-rotate) set to (left, 90 degrees).
Using the "selection" tool set to (shape=rectangle, feather=0), select a rectangle around the grass.
Insure you start all the way left at zero. With all the grass inside the rectangle, get over the selection, left click and drag it straight down to hide the bad wind effect at the bottom.
