Cool glowing text

In this tutorial you will learn how to convert almost any image into a good-looking pencil drawing, and yon even won't need edge detection filters. All you need are a few different layer modes."

Create sparkle on any object!

"You all know these exaggerated advertisments where objects glitter very clearly. I.e. think about a dishwasher commercial where the glasses sparkle in an extreme way after the washing. It is pretty easy in GIMP to accomplish this effect - you only have to know how you do it ;)"

Planet in a wireframe model

"You'll see these so-called wireframe models mostly in the 3d-sector of computer graphics. They just look pretty cool when they're faded into the real looking object. The problem is that you cannot use any 3d coordinates in image manipulation programs such as GIMP. In this How To I will show you how to make such an effect by using a planet that is being faded into a wireframe-globe."

Creating the Che Guevara Effect

"Probably the most popular picture that uses this black/white-effect is one of the famous revolutionist of Cuba: Che Guevara. To create such an effect for your own it is only necessary to take a few minutes of time."
