Quote:Always better if you give the version of Gimp and OS that you are using.
I am currently using 2.8.22.
Quote:There are gradient options that will only follow the selection regardless of how you draw the start and end points. The only adjustments are (1) A more complicated gradient (2) For a simple gradient the mid-point slider. Effectively editing the gradient on the canvas.
Maybe you can give an example of what is required. In Gimp there are always different ways to get a result.
I wouldn't mind using alternative methods, I myself tried to play with blurs to achieve the result, but it didn't work. And sure, like (image below) I'd like to be able to implement a gradient (or any similar effect) alongside a custom shape. Currently my only issue is with making such a gradient.
This would be another example of what I'd like to replicate where you can see the gradient follows certain curves alongside the object:
Quote:In the meantime, this is a quick demo, you should be able to pick out the gradient tool mid point slider.

Thanks a lot for your help! Also my second question is resolved, I managed to make the inner outlines by shrinking the selection on another layer.
