GIMP Chat :: Halo everybody

In Part I - brushed metal. Under filters, blur I don't have just motion blur?

if anyone of them will have the same effect -
focus, gaussian, lens, mean curvature, median, pexelize,
selective gaussian, variable, circular motion, linear motion and zoom motion?

I am still playing around with the tools and functions and when I go under filters and try to open python fu console it give me error:

Execution error for "console":
Failed to run plug-in "python-console.py"

Post subject:	Halo everybody
I am a newby/wannabe attempting graphic design the self help way hoping to reach a level where I maybe can earn some sort of income with it very soon... I suppose it sounds very ambitious but I hope it will be possible with the help of you guys... With the help of aunty Google I watched and worked through many tutorials here, on YouTube and various other sites. Most of them are very explanatory and easy to follow however, not having formal design background, some aspects does not make sense at first - but again with aunty Google's assistance and some reading up - the light do come on... And already I want to thank you guys for the super tutorials here... My first question - Trying to make a logo with a metalic frame. I found Metal Wurx Part XX and decided to start at Part I and work through all. In Part I - brushed metal. Under filters, blur I don't have just motion blur? I have the following options and am not sure if anyone of them will have the same effect - focus, gaussian, lens, mean curvature, median, pexelize, selective gaussian, variable, circular motion, linear motion and zoom motion? Is anyone of them the same or will have the same effect or is there a plugin available for it? Have a nice day

Hi. If you plan on making a go at graphic design I'd look at current trends. Flat shading with little to no texture has been in vogue for quite a while, and with the push towards svg its not going away soon. That means metal isn't that needed, although learning how to do it is still worth doing.

Nowadays, on GIMP 2.10, these "one" filters with 3 options inside (Linear / Radial / Zoom) were separated directly in the menu and are now called ElMar wrote: if anyone of them will have the same effect - focus, gaussian, lens, mean curvature, median, pexelize, selective gaussian, variable, circular motion, linear motion and zoom motion? Thus you are searching for the Linear motion blur. To "translate" from the old interface (just motion blur and the 3 options inside) to the latest, 3 filters directly in the menu. Linear option is now Filters > Blur > Linear Motion Blur... Radial option is now Filters > Blur > Circular Motion Blur... Zoom option is now Filters > Blur > Zoom Motion Blur... And the very good news is that now the preview is directly on the canvas, not anymore in that tiny window you see on the tutorial Last but not least: Welcome to gimpchat
