Effectively editing the gradient on the canvas. The only adjustments are (1) A more complicated gradient (2) For a simple gradient the mid-point slider. Quote:There are gradient options that will only follow the selection regardless of how you draw the start and end points.

Quote:Always better if you give the version of Gimp and OS that you are using. The bump map gives interesting results, and may be used, but it still doesn't give me a gradient that espouses certain shapes not present in the gradient tool option.ĮDIT: Yes, the outline without anti-aliasis was deliberate. And it seems to me to go from the center outwards, while I was looking more for, like in the image below, something was went from the bottom of the curve and following it. I tried the Shaped(angular) option but I cannot find the center point slider, as soon as I drag the line to make the gradient, it just does it (always the same no matter where it is). The Azimuth value determines the light direction. Try a bump map Filters -> Map -> Bump Map and use the filled shape as its own bumpmap. The FG / BG colours do matter, experiment.Ī bit more shape / shading. There is a center point slider, find it and drag to near one end. The sort of fill shown you can get from the gradient tool with the Shaped(angular) option but it needs adjusting. Quote: Filling a selection with a gradient. The second problem is that I was wondering if there was a more efficient/clean way of doing the clearer outline between the darkest part of the shading and the thicker, darker outline, using Gimp than simply manually drawing it using the brush tool. Additionally, sometimes the gradient (if I draw small lines using the tool) produces very stark differences, without nice transitions, and doesn't seem blurry enough. The gradient tool in Gimp has some options, but I wasn't able to make a curved gradient out of these (I don't really understand what most of the options do outside of linear), so I was wondering if there were other ways to go about replicating such an effect, or if I'm missing something. The first problem is that I can't seem too replicate the sort of customized curved gradient shown in the image. I'm fairly new at using Gimp (and art programs in general), and while working on a project, I've had difficulty replicating two particular visuals effects found, for example, in the picture below.
