I use GIMP 2.2. I was browsing on deviantart earlier today & I found this. I was wondering, what is the difference between masks & borders. And how exactally do you use the masks on GIMP 2.2, like the example shows on the link.

... That's not a very good explanation, so I'm going to give you examples.
[ http://www.blewmyallowanceonmanga.net/imag...rama_header.jpg ] On that particular image, the faded black lines are borders. Or the border, depending on how you want to view it. The spotchiness of the image in the middle is a mask. To use masks, you put black brushes on a new layer, fill the rest with white, and set it to Screen. Or something similar to that. You could also just use the images the .zip file should include. Find a little more "in-depth" explanation here. And, as Holly (Intercourse.) said, if you can use brushes you can mask. Or at least faux mask. |
