Description Edit 13 Jul 2008: Previously this was in scraps, but clearly people like this (online viewable) version better. Still, I really wish dA hadn't taken out preview images for just about everything

And of course, by now 2.6 is almost out!! Including lockable dialogs whee! \o/ GIMP 2.6 New Features

Also edited cc license for compatibility with wikibooks, hopefully.

====
Puargh done!! My first finished tut XD
A lot of other people have covered the flame render, but I felt like making a short tutorial so I did this.

Really easy~ beginner level for sure.
(Btw GIMP is sorta like opensource, and thus free, photoshop... kind of. See wikipedia: [link] )

This is the lower-rez jpeg version... ~430 kb. Full version (png) and source xcfs availabe at [link]

Yea... uh I uploaded this before, but I think when I tried to delete it from scraps it deleted the deviation as well??



P.S. A release candidate for v2.4 is out, should definitely check it out! [link]

I would suggest making the colour (overlay layer) a colour layer instead. This WILL change the bg colour, but when you merge it into the flame layer, it will realize that you want to leave the bottom layer untouched

Ah, that is true Yea, I try to avoid merging stuff so I miss things sometimes.

OR you could follow the tutorial all the way through and then merge them all together (can't be recoloured without merging ^_^) and colour the black to alpha, then add in a bg layer with the colour / gradient of your choice.
