Haven't shared, but I've played around with the framing capabilities of the this cool plugin too. So many things you can do with it; don't think the guy even knew when he created this cool plugin.

"O" Do I have to have python in order to use that plug-in? It is a bit confusing, maybe more than a bit.

I love the inverted selection trick! I didn't think of it, but it works sweetly!
I used the "Crown Molding" gradient on it's own layer, and did a colorize on the frame.

Yes, you do, Molly.

Clever idea. I love the way the corners look like they've actually been mitered and joined together.

More of the beauty of Gimp!

I used the Rectangular selection tool and selected a 25x25 square on one of the jack-o'-lanterns, copied, Ctrl + Shift + V and made a pattern with that. Used it for the frame.

What a perfect frame PM. Man, will I be having fun with this plugin when the time comes.

Gimp may not be the only freeware out there, but I firmly believe it's the best!! You can do some incredibly sweet things with Gimp, G'MIC, Mathmap and all these fun filters/scripts!

I used the plug-in on this Jack-o'-lantern to trace around it. I inverted the selection first. Then I made it into a sphere.



I attached the font I got the Jack-o'-lantern from. Unzip into your fonts folder.

The perfect word for this, with trick-or-treating right around the corner, is... SWEET!

Somehow missed this one O; more like a Nightmare before Christmas Tree. lol

Very cool indeed.

Tried to make a frame with map but I can't get it working yet so had to make one by hand and ended up as a shadow box instead.

I need to find a better way to smooth the round selections. They come out a bit rough-looking.

I've had good luck using G'MIC and GREYCStoration for smoothing O. I also had success finding the edges and stroking the resulting selection using the smudge tool, but I like simple. Give GREYC or G'MIC a shot.

Thanks Lyle. I used PhotoComix's smoothing filter in G'MIC on one and it looked much better.

When I was using the Ellipse tool, I tried feathering just a little but the plug-in didn't like it and just filled the frame with a single color. Tried several different sizes of feathering.

somehow i missed all last message here ,very cool results

and now i wonder, i asked for Gmic a Contours offset filter, and i found it cool

But with this i should get equivalent results (with a bw pattern ) as many colorful variations

All cool results. I found the framing capabilities of wrap map to be awesome. I'm converting my best results to masks for re-use.

woo hoo I finally got to use wrap map... not too happy the way the color spilled from one letter to the next.
maybe I should have spaced the letters more???


BTW, PhotoMaster, how did you get your frame to look like it is beveled?

[quote="Oregonian"]Downloaded wrap-map-0.2.py and it's much faster!

Pardon my inexperience...I went there, clicked on the wrapmap.py thingy and saw the script or code or whatever. What do you do with that?

there you go Drac
