[flattr /]There was a question left open in the last show: How to create a random pattern of particles that follow a gradient in density.
I got three answers. One from Benton – just use a brush with absurdly high jitter. Then I got the help that I asked for from Philippe and finally thought about a way myself. I started with Philippe’s tutorial for making a starfield.
And I recommend the Youtube channel of GimpTricks.

00:25 Welcome to GimpTricks ??
01:02 Welcome to Meet The Gimp
01:40 Benton’s solution to the random particles problem:
02:40 – Set Jitter on the paintbrush tool by typing
03:45 – Adjust the jitter to change the density
05:18 Philippe’s solution:
05:34 – Put a gradient on a quickmask
06:05 – Add noise to the gradient and fill the selection with black
06:47 – Use the threshold tool to adjust the density
07:17 Rolf’s solution:
07:33 – Fill a black layer with HSV Noise
08:48 – Add a new transparent layer in subtract mode
09:03 – Fill the subtraction layer with a gradient
09:50 – Use the threshold tool to control the density
10:45 – Bigger blobs needed
10:50 – Select the blobs using the colour selection tool and fill with blue
11:16 – Stroke the selection and Gaussian blur the blobs
12:45 – Use a picture instead of a gradient
14:51 The End
Sorry, not here up to now.

A fourth method:
Start with a white BG layer.
Add a new layer filled with black (or other color of choice).
Add a layermask to the black layer and use the Blend Tool to create a black-to-white gradient extending from the top of the layermask to the bottom.
Set the mode of the black layer to “Dissolve” and adjust its Opacity to suit.

Using Gimp – how do i achieve curve of colors that microsoft uses
No idea what you are talking about – which colours does Microsoft use with a curve?

So when we going to see new video.
I think Rolf is loaded with work atm, it’s testing time here in Germany — I can hardly think of a more stressful time for teachers.
Lots of work, a week zonked out with a cold, a new task at school and spring tiredness kept me away from here. But tomorrow is the last day before the easter break – I’ll be back soon.
is this site dead, still no update?
I am working on #159, recording done, editing tomorrow.
