BarbaraC1977 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Aggie asked how to do foreground/background colors in Gimp. Sent her this note: (NOTE: I am NOT a GIMP expert!) Choose a brush, and then foreground = red, background = blue. In Tool Options, Paintbrush, Click Dynamics, and choose "Random Color." Then click Dynamics Options to vary even more. Click Apply Jitter and increase amount to see effect. Also Quality, Weight. Works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garden_Girl Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I just made it to the last little bit of the chat, so thank you for posting all the information here. I forget to use brushes and they really are a lot of fun to play with. I didn't realize how many brushes I have in my stash. I think my favorites are the textures for backgrounds. I also used a quote for this challenge, which I think is a first for me. Here is my layout for the challenge. Memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
