Another GIMP thingy that you can do easily, i.e. to achieve a coarse textured wall surface in different colors. I did start with red. You may want to try out others.
- Start with a new file or should is say canvas of the required size
- Bucket Fill with Red color (or any other color that you like)
(see IMAGE 1)
- Select the whole image, then apply RGB Noise filter.
Filters — Noise — RGB Noise
- Play around with different values of Red Green and Blue (Make sure that the basic color which you select remains prominent and you have some black or dark areas.)
(see IMAGE 2)
- Next apply Emboss effect (select the bump map option from the emboss dialogue box).
Filters — Distorts — Emboss
- Keep the Depth slider at the middle, move around depth and azimuth to get different flow of the coarse effect.
(see IMAGE 1)
- I felt that the brightness was less so I increased the contrast and brightness a bit more in the end.
- And that makes your coarse surface ready!
