Ahh, je comprends! I don't use gradients as such, but a lot of the textures I like to use have gradient-like effects to them.

And ooh, *feels honoured* =D

Recently discovered that there's a sharpening feature in Gimp outside of teh brush (i.e. can uniformly sharpen the whole image), but I've not used it yet. I know photoshop is a heck of a lot better than Gimp, but Gimp is free and it took me so long to get my head around that I'm rather partial to it now!

You can use layer masks in Gimp - I saw a tutorial that featured them a while back - but I've not tried them.

I used to work with gradient textures (still do), but the good thing about the gradient tool is you can pick your colours/position it the way you like. =)

I found something on Tumblr that allowed me to crack Photoshop. Otherwise it's not like I can afford it or anything... Tbh at first I didn't want to leave Gimp and thought I would never get used to PS but it's not that hard to use.

Layer masks are life-savers! For instance what you said about 17 - well with a layer mask you could have masked the texture that didn't work for Hermione and only kept the bits that made Ron look the way you wanted. I use them all the time!

I think I have that tumblr link bookmarked somethwere. Will have to see if I can dig it out :)

And yeah, it sounds like I'm going to have to give layer masks another go then. After my exams though!

I have it bookmarked too, so if you need it, just ask. =)
