Gradients

I have recently discovered that there is more to gradients in GIMP than I had previously thought: the different varieties of pre-sets, as well as the "off-set" tool. Are there any other cool tricks that anybody knows? How to make a new gradient of your own? Any other cool stuff? (Being able to manipulate gradients would be cool.)

I'm just an amateur, so I'm not trying to say new stuff needs to be added--I'm just trying to learn.

Thanks! animatrix1490

Hi Madeleine,

some cool effects with gradients are painting with gradients and recoloring an image with a gradient. You find more information on that on [1]. The 'Paint with a gradient' feature is reworked now. It worked like described in the help until GIMP 2.6, but was then missing in GIMP 2.8.0 to 2.8.4. Lately I brought it back using a specific Dynamic to be compliant with the new Paint tool options. It will be available in the next GIMP version or - if you want it earlier - you can get if from GIMPs git repository (branches gimp-2-8 and master) [2] or in the nightly builds [3].

Kind regards,

Sven
