I also fiddled around with different ways of hiding the areas that brl misses, gaussian blur, painting a lower layer, enlarging a selection and bucket filling in a lower layer. Many ways to skin a cat, as Lyle likes to say. As for turning photos into brl-ready pics, that's for another time.

In a number of my previous attempts I have used the line art as an over/underlay to improve the detail visibility. One of the other joys of this script is all the available options, for which it takes some time to understand what will be output - so plenty of surprises in that area.
So after watching your video I knocked up a BRL image from a photo of my kangaroo paw flowers; I used the ‘Round2 bevel/outline outer bevel’ option consistently across the selections as the flowers (and stems) are hairy, finger like shapes. I created custom gradients from the photo for the BRL, using the ‘sample gradient from path’ script. I also used the original photo as an overlay to provide a ‘shadow effect’ which is only just visible in the lighter red part of the background. Hope you like it - as I have stated elsewhere you were the one who lead me into BRL and I thank you for that - its great fun.

Yes, but you have to do it in both places On the dialogue you have to double click where it says select gradient and scroll where it says fg-bg It will show the default gray but click that anyway.[ Image ][ Image ]
