Ever wondered how 'brushed metals' are made? Stop wondering. Here's a 3-step micro-tutorial helping you. :-) |
 |
Create a new image an fill it with a grey tone. |
 |
Apply noise (Filters -> Noise -> Noisify...), with no independency, 0.2 is a good value. |
 |
|
 |
Now, apply Gaussian Blur (IIR). X=20 Y=0. You need to click the chain button first to be able to select different values for X and Y! |
|
That's all! Change the values to achieve other effects and have fun! |
