Title: Multiply layers?
Post by: LadyLioness on October 10, 2012, 09:27:56 am
In one of the fh tutorials it said to multiply the layers. What does that mean? I know what a layer is and I have gimp. But I don't know what that means xD

The multiplying layers  thing you're hearing about is how you get the textures on to your preset. Its just a way of creating layers on the initial sheet your working on so that the colors or patterns can show through even if you add a texture without just covering over your work with the texture. You can refer to this video here to understand how to apply the texture on to your preset since I believe that's what you're working on due to your post earlier :)
Start watching from 11:00 ish :)

Here's a screenshot I took of Gimp where you can see where the layer options thing is:

Click that little arrow beside the layers options and you'll see all the different options of layering :) Goodluck and use the vid it's very helpful.
On the other hand if you're working on a map its pretty much the same process and you can multiply layers the same way.
