Little flashes, like in a Tesla coil you will miss your Text with a few simple steps in Gimp. For ease of Build we have in the gallery , the individual steps are summarized below.
- Create a new image with a black Background. In our example, we have chosen the size is 640 x 180 px. The following settings are adjusted to this size. Write your Text with a text size of 75 px, and the font color to white.
- In the next step, you will create a new layer and fill it black. Open the menu "Filter -> Distort -> mosaic" and set the values according to the Screenshot in the picture gallery a.
- Now switch back to the Text layer and click with the right mouse button to open the context menu and the "selection from Alpha channel" button. Via the menu "selection -> Expand" expand the selection by 3 px and dazzle, then "selection -> Hide" to 5 px. Then go to "selection -> Invert".
- After they are thus changed to the mosaic layer, you can delete it via "edit -> cut" the selection.
- To bring a bit of unrest in the mosaic, navigate to Distort "Filter - > - > PIP". As a setting, you can select "edge smoothing", "Horizontal", "Folding" and "sine". The period should be 15, the Amplitude is 2 and the phase shift 0. Confirm the setting and repeat the PIP Filter, but this time set it to "Vertical" instead of "Horizontally"..
- Still on the mosaic-level select now in the context menu "selection from Alpha channel". Now create a new layer, set the foreground color to #4800ff and fill the selection with "edit -> with FG color fill".
- You can disable the selection using "select -> Nothing," and apply "Filter -> blur -> Gaussian blur" with a value of 11.
- Go back to the mosaic level. There, navigate to "colors -> color to alpha" and select black. So the white lines remain. In the menu "colors -> curves" select the top left “Alpha” and apply the curve after the presentation of the Screenshots on the image.
- In the layers window, click on the lock next "level". Choose as foreground color #00baff, and go to "edit -> With FG color fill". Important: Uncheck the "Alpha channel lock"Icon again.
- Now duplicate the mosaic layer, move the layer under the Original mosaic level, and draw in Illustrator with the "Filter -> blur -> Gaussian blur" with a value of 11 soft.
- Now you need to change the layer modes. You make the mosaic and the color level on the "mode Anwedeln".
- The mode of the duplicated mosaic-level change to "Hard edges" and duplicate this layer three times. Finished the Tesla effect.
