Making Some Textures with Gimp. . .

Making some textures for CAP with Gimp...

Well, here I go again. Please be patient~ I hardly ever get it right the first time.

I have Gimp, a free photo editing program. Open it and make a new 256x256 image.

There are several Artistic options under Filters - One is Clothify. Nice...

You need to add an Alpha Channel...

Then remove the white (middle) so another texture can show through with the select by color/ then cut...
*Use the Color Select tool on the white parts to highlight them and then edit/cut to remove the white or unwanted parts.

You can see the Alpha Channel through it- it's done...

I hope it helps for a start and I explained it well enough... :mrgreen:

***To use a White Sticker as a changeable sticker you must toggle it to Fill in CAP. This will remove the texture but give it color.

~If you want texture and being able to change the color then give the image a color in Gimp before you import it into CAP
