Fluent like smooth texture
#1
Can you help me with applying smooth texture to a logo as in Microsoft Fluent design ? When I use gradient in Inkscape, it is working to some extent, but not that close. Wondering if it is different with GIMP.

- start a new image
- select the 'gradient tool' and select a gradient (in the tool option dock)
- color the layer with the gradient
- make a new black layer and add an 'Alpha Channel' to this layer
- in this case, draw a white vertical line on the black layer
- on the menu : Colours / Colours to Alpha (default white)
- done

That is a nice trick. Smile

Can you please tell me how to set gradient colours. ie, top and bottom colours to our choice.

Also, I am looking to add smooth matte texture. Do you know of any source ? I tried a few from Google White texture. Either it is too inivisble or too rough. Thanks.

A lot changed since 2010 Wink

The Gimp 2.10 gradient tool is easily adjustable on canvas. 

A quick demo:





There are also scripts that will generate a gradient from an image. There is one in the gmic plugin.
