A novice's problem: I can't reproduce the first effect of the manual (chapter 5.2 - figure 3.38)

This discussion is connected to the gimp-user-list.gnome.org mailing list which is provided by the GIMP developers and not related to gimpusers.com.

This is a read-only list on gimpusers.com so this discussion thread is read-only, too.

A novice's problem: I can't reproduce the first effect of the manual (chapter 5.2 - figure 3.38)

Hi everybody!

some days ago I decided to improve my basic knowledge about The GIMP. I installed the version and I've been studying the manual at http://docs.gimp.org. I've got a difficult and I cannot handle it, could someone help me? I met the problem at chapter 5.2 (http://docs.gimp.org/en/ch03s05s02.html): it's impossible for me to reproduce the first effect in figure 3.38. I tried and tried to deform the grid using the Smudge Tool, but I can't obtain the right result! I tried to adjust the rate, I tried to flag the Hard edge... nothing! I can't reproduce the nice effect like in the example. Actually, I can't understand what the example means for "low spacing" because I can't find an option called "spacing" among options of Smudge Tool in GIMP 2.4.1

Thanks in advance for your advices and for your patient with my English, Val

I think you want to activate the 'Pressure Sensitivity' and tick rate.

You might also want to try a Calligraphic Brush as it give a 'better' effect than a circle brush

Spacing is a general brush option, and can be found in the Brushes dialog.
