Winter time means snow and ice time. This tutorial helps you to give your logos, your homepage etc. the icy glow. |
 |
Create a new image with your text like shown here. |
 |
Use <Image>-Transforms-Rotate-90 degrees to rotate the picture 90 degrees. This is needed to use the wind filter. |
 |
Apply the wind filter (<Image>-Distorts-Wind...). Select right direction and leading edge affected. A strengh of 5 should be sufficient for most purposes. |
 |
Rotate your result 270 degrees (<Image>-Transforms-Rotate-90 degrees). Your image should look like this. Duplicate the layer. |
 |
The lower layer should be blurred now (<Image>-Filters-Blur-Gaussian Blur(IIR)... with x=y=4). |
 |
Go to <Image>-Colors-Levels and set the output level for red to 0 and the output level for green to 191. |
|
Now return to the uppermost layer. Set its mode to "Addition". Blur it (<Image>-Filters-Blur-Gaussian Blur(IIR)... with x=y=2). That'a all! Crop your image and have fun! |
