Darken Frames (English)

[Hans]

Required: Darken Frames Plugin

This is the Result:


You should take a picture with a lot of background. Then you have to create a selection (rectangle or ellipse) around the object you wish to highlight. The final decision which type of selection you will use has to be made in the menu.



Start the plugin Darken Frames Filters/Gimp-Atelier/Darken Frames. Following menu disappears

The plugin creates a new layer, which will have increasing opacity on each cycle. creates a selection, which will be increased on each cycle invert the selection fill the layer with wished colour of frame if bump map is activated duplicate the active layer and fill it with black color the black layer will be blurred (Gaussian blur) (settings in green frame) the last layer (frame) will be activated run bump map (settings in blue frame) the black layer will be deleted while number of frames not reached, it will be continued on step 1 The settings for bump map and Gaussian blur are identical with original tools, so I will not describe it here. Is Frame Bump Mapped set to No, then the values in green and blue frame are not required. If you are working wih diamond selection, it's recommended to center minimum one axis of the selection

Now you could prepare the top layer with bump map, light or other effects and you will have a final result.


And here is the version with inverse Bumpmap:


Have a lot of fun
