GIMP Tutorial: Light Burst Effect 

yes

I think now you have to use zoom motion blur.

Back when I first started this channel I didn't even think there was 100k people who even knew that Inkscape and GIMP exists

Nick you’re amazing 👍🏻

@@LogosByNick I think there a lot of Linux users who are also developing web pages.

I think you have to use zoom motion blur in 2.10

I'm literally trying to do the same thing without luck, they changed it in a way that this isn't even possible :/

Go to www.gimp.org/downloads/oldstable/ 2.8 has the features

I am having this problem too. I would really like to be able to achieve this text with the current version I am using.

If I understand the new zoom blur correctly, the automated numbers of 0,500 for x and y place the start of the burst exactly in the middle of the page. So instead of using pixels, it seems to be like a percentage with 0,500 being the same as 50% aka the center of the page, so by leaving it at those start values you get the same effect as Nick is getting when he enters the pixels. I hope it helps

@@vrededromer8955 really???? .__. gonna try it thx

I also have this question

Figured it out. I used Zoom Motion Blur

@@tdavisdesigns me too. But the blur isnt nice on the outside. Realy hard

@steefbuis You gotta mess with the "blurring factor" on the Zoom Motion Blur filter. The motion blur filter is still the same, they just separated its three modes: circular, linear, and circular (now radial, same meaning) into three different filters rather than modes of one filter. The guy in the video has it on zoom mode, so you can just use zoom motion blur on 2.10. As I said before, you gotta mess with "blurring factor" while using Zoom Motion Blur to get something similar to this result; that's all you need!

That version is not stable yet, until it takes a stable one with 2.8.2 :\

excuse me? 2.10 is the stable one thats why they released it to public.

Haven't tried it yet. Hopefully later today when I have some time I'll give it a look

awesome:)

that's a lie, It's stable!

Good question. Haven't had a look at it yet, but I'll check it out soon when I get some time

@@LogosByNick GIMP has definitely changed since you made this video - making it impossible to follow.

@@hypailakian2610 If you have brain and 2 arms there is litterally no difference only Interface has changed not the how does the filter works, lol.

@@5tone_10 Nah, the zoom motion blur is definitely different and quite bad actually compared to the older version.

Use zoom motion blur

@@erocneypsit3531 thanks mate

@@spandansaha168 welcome

@@erocneypsit3531 but it's still different from the video...halp

maybe you just need to find the same tool, i mean just try all of it :/ sorry i've retired from gimp lol

Yeah

GimP TrasH your name says it all

For this project, yes. In general, neither bests the other. GIMP is manipulation software primarily meant to serve as a freeware alternative to Photoshop, whereas Inkscape is primarily vector creation/manipulation software akin to Serif Drawplus, for example. A true vector image is a layered image that doesn't lose quality regardless of its scaling. In an application like Inkscape, a vector may be resized, tweaked and/or exported to virtually any dimensions specified. An image created or manipulated in GIMP, once exported, can be resized, but it will lose quality depending on the resizing procedure; i.e, it'll look compressed if it's shrunk, and blurred and pixelated if it's grown. Some pieces can be created in either GIMP or Inkscape, but the steps taken to the end point of each instance will determine which application is better suited to the job. That said, you wouldn't want to try and tweak a true vector image in GIMP, and you wouldn't want to paint a picture from scratch (with a graphics tablet, for example) in Inkscape. If you wanted to make minor edits to a photograph, you'd use GIMP, if you wanted to make a resizable but dimension-specific logo, you'd choose Inkscape.

@@Ruisu101 thank you for this detailed explanation!

The latest version of GIMP has three different types of motion blur. Go Filters>Blur and then you can go Linear Motion Blur, Circular Motion Blur, or Zoom Motion Blur. I left the X and Y at .5 and just adjusted the Blurring Factor. Give that a try.

@@aaronmfaulkner THANK YOU SO MUCH :)

@@aaronmfaulkner sorry..but what do you mean .5?? :''(

@@aaronmfaulkner Thank you for your help... :)

ctr+s for windows, cmd+s for mac to save. make doing it regularly a habit. set a timer. it will save you so much frustration, I promise.
