Hello,

I am using gimp (similar to photoshop)

I have 2 images,

1. It is a stone like texture

2. It is just white and black stipes

How would i place number 2 image over number 1 but make it look like it is painted on (i.e still see the roughness texture of image 1.)

Get what i mean?


So how would i go about doing this?

You probably want to use curves, levels or just contrast to increase the contrast and texture of the painted image. Then make it exactly the same size in pixels as the image you want to paint it on.

There are two approaches you might try.

Drag the painted image onto the photo and mess with the opacity in the painted layer. If there are areas you want to adjust use a soft eraser set on a very low opacity and flow and remove some of the painted area to allow more of the photo to show through in those areas.

Or you can do it the other way round and drag the photo onto the painted layer. Use the eraser at a low setting to paint the areas of the photo where you want the painted area.

you could use a displacement map

not sure if its possible in the gimp

Oh dont worry i think i know how to do it now,

when i bump map i can actually use an image to bump map the thing to and it looks like thats the look i want

Anyway i did try the displacement mapping but it did not turn out right and the opacity setting didn't really give me the 3d look i had wanted.

Thanks for your replies
