This README file provides some information in support of the 'Chisel or Carve' tutorial set, created by OldManGrumpy (OMG) for Gimp Chat.

The set comprises five separate tutorials all using the Chisel or Carve filter in different ways as follows:

1. Introduction and Filter Parameters
2. Creating an Art Deco Pendant/Medallion
3. Creating Glassy Lead Light Style Images from Line Art - Lions in the Savannah
4. Creating a Coloured Wood Carving from Line Art - Florence Nightingale
5. Creating an Extravagant Chiselled/Carved Pattern in a Colourful Gradient

The tutorial PDF documents are step by step oriented, detailed and with many example images - that means they are large files too!

ZIP files for the first two tutorials and supporting media are supplied as follows:

1. OMG_Chisel_or_Carve_Tutorial_Part_1
2. OMG_Chisel_or_Carve_Tutorial_Part_2
3. starter_xcf_&_pat - Contains Tutorial 2 starter.xcf'file along with a background pattern for optional use.
4. extra_medallions - Contains extra PNG images of medallion backgrounds
 
If the background pattern is to be used then it must be extracted from the ZIP into Users>User Name>.Gimpt-2.X>Patterns. From
there it is just another GIMP seamless pattern.

If the extra medallions are to be used they can be extracted from The ZIP to your preferred image folder and can then be loaded into GIMP
as required, by using the 'File>Open as layers' command.
