Some little time ago I asked a question about how to imitate the effect of contact printing a colour transparency onto orthographic film. Of the replies received one seemed to be just what I was looking for and, since then, I have experimented in an attempt to imitate an old sandwich process which we used to use in the old days of film. I have posted three of my efforts on www.littletank.org/sandwich and I would welcome comment and constructive criticism.

I am not an artist and I am not particularly imaginative but I have a feeling that the technique, if used by someone who is, could produce some very interesting, surrealistic images with lots of impact. If there is any interest at all, I will gladly post the details of the technique here or anywhere else considered to be appropriate.

looks interesting. My impression is that you rotate the picture slightly in a second layer and than use some kind of calculation like difference. Some elements look close to "emboss" - but keep the color.

Maybe you start a screencast on YT - there is already some for GIMP.

Thank you for looking and commenting, it is most welcome.

Starting a screencast sounds very ambitious and probably beyond my capabilities. Not a bad idea though. (Presumably YT is You Tube).
