Logotip Roca esbocinada


This filter adds a chipped woodcarving effect to the alpha channel of the active layer. Optionally it adds a drop shadow to the image. The content of the active layer doesn't matter, only the shape of its alpha channel does.

[Avís] Avís

The image will always be resized to the active layer's size.

The filter is derived from the Chip Away Script-Fu script (FileCreateLogosChip Away), which creates a text logo with the effect shown above.

This filter is found in the image window menu under FiltersAlpha to LogoChip Away….

Quantitat de bocins

This option lets you vary the size of chipping area. But note that Chip amount is not the size of this area in pixels. It is used as the maximum amount pixels are randomly spread by the Spread filter applied to the bump map. Valid range is 0-200.

Nivell de difuminat

The specified value will be passed as Radius option to the Gaussian blur filter, which will blur the bump layer by this amount.

Inverteix

If checked, the bump map will be inverted and will create hollows instead of bumps, which makes the image looking carved.

Inverted, (without drop shadow)


Ombra

If checked, a Drop shadow will be added to the image in a new layer below the active layer.

Conserva la capa del relleu

By default, the bump map used to create the chipping effect will be removed after applying the filter. When this option is checked, the bump map will be kept as an invisible layer.

Omple el fons amb un patró

If checked, the background layer (added by the filter) will be filled with the specified Pattern. Otherwise, it will be filled with white.

Manté el fons

Whether or not to remove the background layer. This option is checked by default. You can, of course, remove this layer (or toggle its visibility) later in the Layers dialog.

  3. spreads the pixels,

  4. and applies a Gaussian blur to the layer.

  5. Then it uses this layer as a Bump map, creating a 3D effect.
