I think I'm finally really learning how to do this.

The fire's kind crappy, but the rest is nice I think!

It's nice, though I don't think you see stars or nebulae in the horizon at night. Razz

Maybe not on your planet Razz

Besides the fact that it would give any astronomer a heart attack, it looks good. The light cast by the fire is a little uneven, mind.

For a more realistic background, howsabout this? Large image, so beware. Razz

Have you still got the original picture the dunes/hills/whatevers are from?

by Jedi Joe on Tue Jun 23, 2009 2:05 pm

I made them on the GIMP.

No really, Clicky... Wink

Thunder-blade wrote:LASER TUTORIAL!!!

Create a Transparent Layer.

Draw a straight white line. (use the shift key)

Duplicate that layer

Make sure the MIDDLE layer is selected. Get the "Select by Color" tool.

Press your white line. Then you go to Select>Grow. Change it to "5.00" After you have done that, go to Select> Feather, and change it to "10.00"

Then color it in with whatever color you want!

Then flatten the image (you don't have to do this)

How do you open that layer window?

Isn't there a layer button on the top?

by Green Tee on Tue Jun 23, 2009 3:28 pm

Yes, but I can't select the middle layer with that! I'm still stuck on that part.

by Alpha on Tue Jun 23, 2009 7:16 pm

You honestly can't just click the middle layer?

I don't even think he has the Layer's dialog box open...

by Green Tee on Tue Jun 23, 2009 7:26 pm

That's the box I'm talking about! How do you open it?

It's the Layers DIALOG box. It can't be that hard to figure out. It's on the stinking image toolbar Wink

!

Image toolbar -> Dialogs -> Layers

Thanks! I'm not much of a common sense user.. He leaves the building every time his boss calls for him.
EDIT: After all that..

It's not that good or big... But it's my first.
