filter is usually a more fine-tuned instrument that will supply the user with a large number of parameters. This is for better or for worse, depending on what kind of user you are. Photoshop filters are available size parameters for the new image are the Width and the Height, and they are measured in pixels. This is quite different from Photoshop, where the Width and Height parameters can be specified tool and the clone tool). You can apply patterns in different opacity and modes by setting these parameters in the Bucket Fill dialog or in the Brushes dialog. You can also create and save your own patterns

the advanced settings: Optimize If you enable this option, the optimization of entropy encoding parameters will be used. Smoothing By using this option, you can smooth the image when saving. Progressive 91 / 653 5. Voilà. Your brush is ready. Save it as .xcf first then as .gih with the following parameters: Spacing:100 Descrip- tion:Hands Cell Size: 30x30 Number of cells:16 Dimensions: 3 • Dimension creates a new image filled with a particular type of pattern: a dialog pops up that allows you to set parameters controlling the details of the appearance. Some of these patterns are most useful for cutting and

in pixels or its resolution in pixels per physical unit of length: as you set any of these three parameters, the other two will automatically adjust to match. Use Anti-Aliasing Check this box to apply antialiasing in pixels or its resolution in pixels per physical unit of length: as you set any of these three parameters, the other two will automatically adjust to match. Colouring Select B/W to have GIMP create the the advanced settings: Optimize If you enable this option, the optimization of entropy encoding parameters will be used. The result is typically a smaller file, but it takes more time to generate. Smoothing

a new image filled with a particular type of pattern: a dialog pops up that allows you to set parameters controlling the details of the appearance. Some of these patterns are most useful for cutting automated tools that run with a simple button-click to highly sophisticated tools that give you many parameters of control. We will start with the simplest first. GIMP gives you five automated color correction away from the computer for a moment and suddenly find that you have just spent an hour twiddling parameters. Be warned: the more options you have, the harder it is to make a decision. Adjusting Hue and
