Gimp — Create Seamless Grunge Background

It’s even eas­ier to cre­ate a seam­less back­ground in Gimp than in Pho­to­shop.  There’s a plug-in called Make Seam­less you can use or you can down­load the Tex­tur­ize plug-in. I used the Make Seam­less plug-in in this tutorial.

I used the Pho­to­shop brushes from my pre­vi­ous post, Pho­to­shop — Grunge Seam­less Back­ground. Pho­to­shop brushes can be used in the newer ver­sions of Gimp.

Down­load the palette from Colourlovers.com. You can down­load palettes for Gimp from there too.

    “Paint your grunge background.”

    Not much help really. Per­haps elab­o­rate on how to do that?
    What tools do I use? Do I make dif­fer­ent lay­ers on each color? Do I use a par­tic­u­lar type of brush? Or just the cir­cle one? What mode are the lay­ers (Or layer, because you didn’t say) set to? Nor­mal? Over­lay? Color?

    Please check the flash tuto­r­ial. The images are just a short­cut for those who knows how to paint with brushes and use the tool.
