I just got Gimp yesterday, and I'm such a noob at it dude. Can you tell me what blending is supposed to do, without laughing? :wink:

[niewbe]

The purpose of blending is to...well....blend the render with the bg and effects. Blending the render makes makes it not seem like you just threw an image onto a BG.

[Kumani]

Cool, thank you!

Also, does anyone know how to have more different text types? I don't know how to, the all look plain, ugly and the same to me.

[maddog]

go to dafonts.com they have plenty of fonts there

[Kumani]

Thank you!

Het Hackgod, I can't hide or delete the sparks layer, it just stays there and I can't get rid of it.

Thank you!

open your layers dialogue [ now you should know how] and untick the box near "lock". right click the sparks layer and select delete layer.. this should do

[Kumani]

Ugh omg you guys, no offense to Hackgod or anything, but this tutorial isn't working for me!

I tried it I dunno how many times. and the render just comes out the same!

Are there any other places with blending tuts? thanks!

[hackgod]

the tut is really simple.. i really dont find blending tuts but you can search in gimptalk.com

thanks..i dont take it as an offence.. but i know its real easy

[Kumani]

I find it easy too, and the steps are simple, but it's just something that when I do something that it says, it goes wrong. like when you say "delete or hide the layer" it ends up the same as it did before... I don't see a difference

and how do you hide a layer?

[Cloud]

To hide a layer, you must click on the layer first, in the layers page i mean. Then you must click on the little eye which is to the left of the layer name.

[Kumani]

Great, thanks!

[Kumani]

Finally! I can blend! :D

[hackgod]

I dont know if im doing something wrong but im running into a major problem with this.. The 2 main things that are going wrong are:
1. When i put my render onto my backround & then select the brush/sparks, it wont let me brush around the render, it will only let me brush on the render. And when i try to click on the backround layer it wont let me, because it shows my render layer as a floating selection & cannot click on any layer but that..
2. Just to see what would happen, i anchored my render layer, so that my backround/render is all 1 layer. I then selected the brush/sparks, and proceeded to brush all around the anchored render. But the problem is it doesnt count the sparks as a layer, after i brushed sparks all around what i wanted to do, i still only had 1 layer.. Help plz!!
