Cecilia, After you used the color picker where you showed in your scrn shot, did you use the color numbers that came up with that for the (colors to alpha) step?
I think this is the part where I am having my problem cuz I am following the numbers that were in the tutorial for that step.
thanx

Hey, I finally got it. Picked a different font and a different gimp. woo hoo.

looks great, Molly. I hope to try it soon, I think I'll try and make some of the water drops misshapen.

thanks 2-ton, If you would like, I will post the text of the tute I took from the video.

yes, at first I too used the hex color number in the tutorial. and when I saw that it didn't quite remove enough I zoomed in and examined the font. Then I picked where the color should have been removed and noticed it was not the same color number as the tutorial. copied that number and used in in the Color to Alpha window.

it could be affected by the font face or whatever, but tweeking is just part of the Art of this thing

that's what makes it feel more like real water.

Hey all those are great. Hope this thread doesn't get waterlogged.

Very nice "O". nice font for that project.

Blowing my own horn here but my random-ellipses script could be a good way to generate random drops.
Script here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to ... s/scripts/
Usage here: http://gimp-tools.sourceforge.net/tools.shtml

I reckon some splatter brushes might do well in this!!

thank you ofnuts.

Please go here to post any more Water Drops Images. Thank you.

This thread is a mess but I don't know how to divide it between the tutorial and Draconian's introduction. Sorry, Drac, your introduction got hijacked in the process.

Ofnuts, please go here for my reply to your post.
