Question

Pulkit wants to create a wallpaper in GIMP but he forgot the steps to complete this task. Can you help him with this task?

Answer 1

Answer:

Background

To begin with, we’ll need a background of the proper size. Choose File -> New and pick the options for the size of your image. The examples will be using a widescreen 1440×900 setup.

Choosing Color Scheme

There are multiple ways to set the colors our our abstract effect, but the simplest is to choose them even before we create the image. In short, we’ll be creating a gimp flame that will be composed of the colors you choose as foreground and background colors.

If you know you want a very blue-ish end result, choose whatever blue shades you think are appropriate for the normal Foreground and Background colors. For the best results, choose one that’s somewhat dark, and another that’s somewhat light.

Creating the Flame

Now that we’ve got an image of appropriate size and background color, we can create our shapes and colors. In the Layers box, click the blank shet of paper to add a new layer. Name it “flame” and set the type to Transparency. Your layer window should now look something like this.
