Cool Silver / Metallic text effect – GIMP tutorial
In this GIMP how to video I'll be showing you how to make silver text in GIMP, or metalic text if you like. I'll be using a script called layer effects. Watch my video on how to install and use that script called "Layer Styles in GIMP - Layer effects". It's posted as a video response to this one. or here's the link: www.youtube.com

No problem.
He is also appearing as The Doctor in an upcoming story of The Sarah Jane Adventures.
I think it’s called The Wedding Of Sarah Jane ,or something similar.

3 specials! woohoo. I figured he would just be killed off at the beginning of the first episode of the new season. (Preparing for the worst. lol)
Thanks for the info. Gonna look up that clip now.

David Tennant has 3 specials that will be shown towards the end of this year.
First is called The Waters Of Mars,and there is a small clip of this on YouTube. The finale will probably be on Christmas Day. No dates fixed as far as I know.
Matt Smiths filming runs up to March 2010, so will be airing late summer 2010 I guess.

You must have read my mind. I was thinking of such an image about 2 weeks ago,but I have never used Gimp before.
My computer knowledge is practically zero, but I find your tutorials very easy to follow. Some people go too fast,or presume you can do somethings already which can be a problem.
If you want to see my attempt, it’s been uploaded on my channel to use as a sign for playlists that have been wiped out.
Thanks for the tutorial.

In the bottom of your toolbox there is an option to use color from gradient when you have your brush tool selected. It only works when you brush strokes though. If you want a “stamp” brush with a gradient do it the same way as I applied the gradient over the text in this video.
Brush on a new layer, lock the alpha channel, and stroke the with the gradient tool selected.

i sent this request to some one else. but ill as you also. i’ve downloaded a lot of brushes. and i was wondering if there was a setting to use and entire gradient as the brush color. not just one color for a certain gradient.
