New picture tubes – Fringes 2

If you have the first set of fringe picture tubes, they are even and regular. But sometimes, you need something rougher and less regular. That is why this particular set of fringes.

Draw those fringes along any edge, whether it is freehand, or along a curved path. Remember however, that the fringe will always hand downward!

New picture tubes – Gimp Trims 3

by

The first Gimp trims were released 13 years ago! But these are slightly different.

You can create delicate ribbons in any length and any shape you want. Use your cursor to draw your ribbons freely, or you can use the VectorTube script to place them along a precise path. Since these ribbons are a little wide, make sure you use a large enough shape and avoid tiny corners and curves.

New picture tubes – Wood Fence 2

by

This is the second set of wood fence picture tubes. It includes 6 sets of tubes that will allow you to draw fences however long you want. You can start with a 4000-pixel image if you want a fence that will go from end to end on your standard page, but you can also use a standard page and drag your cursor only for a little bit to get a shorter fence.

These picture tubes will place the individual images randomly which means that every fence will be slightly different.
