Title: Adding Textures to Presets Using Gimp!
Post by: yourlocalcrow on November 29, 2015, 05:54:00 pm

Hey guys! For those of you rather new to making presets, and using Gimp, you may or may not know how to add a texture to your preset.

Don't worry, you're not alone. I didn't know either. Since some people have nothing to do while the server's down at the moment, I figured I'd help out some floofs.

Step one-- design your preset. This is important. I'll use a simple pink preset.

Step two-- drag the texture you want to use onto the image. In Gimp, this creates a new layer.

Step three-- Well, look how opaque that is! We don't want that! Click the tab "Layer", select "transparency", then "colour to alpha"

Step four-- this screen should come up. Just click "OK", and then you've got your texture! Have fun preset-making!

Here's what it should look like in the end--

you can also set the "mode" for the layer to "multiply" to do basically the same thing without making the layer transparent.
