making a pencil drawing from a photo

Can anyone explain to me in step 4, where to change the value to 4, it looks like there is two places to do this. Then change opacity of layer to to 50%, I don't see where to do this. Step 5, I really don't understand. Step 6, how do you change the new layers mode to "Dodge"?

The tutorial which the questions are about can be found here http://gimpusers.com/tutorials/making-a-pencil-drawing-from-a-photo

Hello maple58,

i'll try to clear things up.

Step 4 I think the value of 4 should be applied to "Blur radius". The opacity slider is above the layer list. You can either use the slider to set a value of 50 or enter it directly in the box right to the slider.

Step 5 Ignore the part up to the colon and then follow the instructions.

right-click the layer in the Layers window and choose “Merge down”

Step 6
The layer mode setting is directly above the opacity slider. It should say "Normal". Click it or the arrow on the right and a drop down menu should open. Click on "Dodge" to make it the active layer mode.

If you still have any trouble maybe this picture helps. http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/2519/greenshot20110120132211.png

I'm going to assume that you are seeing three panels on your monitor. One is the "Tools" panel on the left. Second is the photo in the center. Third is the "Layers, Channels" panel on the right.

In that "layers" panel you will see three layers. The top two are the ones you created. The bottom is the Background, which you probably renamed as you were working the tutorial.

Step five wants you to merge the top two layers. To do that, place your pointer over the top layer and right click. From the drop down, choose "Merge Down" and those two layers will be merged, leaving you with just two layers showing.

Hope this helps.

Dick
