<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">I made the background stars in the picture using Gimp, first I copied bg layes. then I opened noise/hurl, set percent to 1, and iterations to 1, and then hurled random pixels over the screen. Then I copied that layer and enlarged it by 200%, I repeated this step to give me 4 sizes and densities of stars. now here comes the tricky bit. on each layer I picked the free hand selection tool and pretty much furiously scribbled all over the screen and then expanded the mask by about 5 pixels, and then pressed delete. this results in a more realistic distribution of stars. I created a fifth layer and using pencil aded four large stars and and Jupiter and Saturn. I used the neon filter on this layer to make Jupiter and Mars appear to glow. I could send you the original unflattened Gimp file to play around with if you like. --- On Tue, 24/2/09, fedora-art-list-request@redhat.com <fedora-art-list-request@redhat.com> wrote: <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: fedora-art-list-request@redhat.com <fedora-art-list-request@redhat.com> Subject: Fedora-art-list Digest, Vol 35, Issue 27 To: fedora-art-list@redhat.com Received: Tuesday, 24 February, 2009, 6:00 AM <pre>Send Fedora-art-list mailing list submissions to fedora-art-list@redhat.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to fedora-art-list-request@redhat.com You can reach the person managing the list at fedora-art-list-owner@redhat.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Fedora-art-list digest..."
