Adding Textures to Presets Using Gimp!

[yourlocalcrow]

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--

I still don't understand? What are the results if I were to do this? In other words, what wold it look like at the end?

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