How would you guys use GIMP to make a weather map with radar.....snip.....
Specifically, how would you get that pixelated look for the storm system? I don't want it to look too smooth or clean.
Obviously a lot of work involved, with overlays etc, however the effect is called dithering, usually associated with an indexed mode image.
You might get an individual layer dithered like this
(1) In a transparent layer, paint in your coloured shape.
(2) Give it a blur Filters -> Blur -> Gaussian blur
(3) I can not find the Dither in the menu structure
but it is there. Use the Gimp search - the /(?) key - and enter dither as the search reference. Click on the entry to start the Dither filter. EDIT: Dither is down near the bottom of the Colors Menu
(4) Reduce the Alpha levels right down to zero and experiment with the Dithering method options.
