Creating a star mask in GIMP


Recommended Posts

Hello all.

Does anyone have a workflow for creating a star mask in gimp, and I mean a blow by blow account. I have found a youtube tutorial but don't seem able to follow it. 

It is probably something very simple I am missing but for the life of me I cannot figure.

Thanks in advance for any help

Steve

NB: This is the one I have tried following

Hi

Try this one https://pbleic.medium.com/star-reduction-in-gimp-a-tutorial-using-wave-decomposition-59d209e53bc6

There are a couple of errors in the steps. Step 13 to clear the "dancing ants" got to menu, select, none; and in Step 15 highlight the original visible layer that is below the mask layer to effect erode.

Hope that is some help.
