Hello again. Does anyone know of a GIMP tutorial, script or plug-in to produce a vintage deckle border effect like the one in the attachment? Thanks in advance.

I made this using the script "Old Paper".
I first cropped my image then made a selection around the image, big enough to create a boarder around the image. The ran the script, making sure to check "Distress Boarder"...

I did not use a "drop shadow", which is one of the scripts functions.
And yes that's an old photo of me.

Good job Walace and nice picture of yourself.

Thanks Molly. My Grandfather took that picture of me back in the 60's.

wallace: what a cute baby you were once!

Thanks AnMal.
I'm about 10 X that size now, with a lot more wrinkles.
BTW... Here's a screenshot of the dialog for this script.

I created my own drop-shadow. The one that the script makes it not so good.

Thank you, Wallace. I've downloaded it and am ready to try it. Nice baby pic, btw.

You're welcome Disova.

Wallace thank you for this!

No problem.

Hi Disova,The effect that you want can be done with a filter such as suggested by Wallace. I do not have that filter but I assume it will be a version of the Select/ Distort Selection . This image was produced by using the rectangle marquee tool and distorting the selection.

Some Screen shots of some useful settings.

Very good wooble, Here is the old paper script

Thank You Molly, I have downloaded. Note, I am still using Gimp 2.6.11. I know I am old and ancient but I have trouble finding the newer versions doing much more for my needs.

You could always download Partha's portable .gimp-2.8.10 and see if you like it. That way you have the best of both. .

Old and ancient is cool!

Are you old and Ancient Aris?

Wallace, I have your notes as I am learning yet. Thanks. Your photo when a baby is very nice.

BTW... The baby in my photo is me!
