good day dear friends good day dear gimply ppl.
[first of all - i ve posted this three days ago here - and was happy to receive some nices & kind and very supportive answers - but in the mean time a serious db-crash knocked out the whole page - and guess that 90 % of the postings of the past seven days vanished - into the dark]
well i am currently workin on a graphic image - and i would love to get your creative suggestions! ?
after lurking here some hours - i t hought that the best would be to step up the plate and just ask: while lurking i have seen lots of great approaches to do much in GIMP: I really appreciate all the awesome threads that i ve seen here: i think that i have to work with some kind of a layer-based approach
see my starting point:
I’ve experimented allready with that, and it already helped me get closer to the look I’m aiming for.
To give you a bit more context: I’m trying to reate a certain abstract network visualization style –: What I especially love is to get some behavior - at the right side that gets some feels of - lets say “overdriven” – almost blown out into a bright yellow-white glow, while the lines still keep a warm reddish tone. The colors are intense, but the structure stays readable.
So my question to the community: What would be your approach to achieve a kind of “overexposed” yellow-to-white transition on the right side, while keeping the lines slightly red and the overall network structure intact?
I’m open to non-destructive workflows, layer blending tricks, or even selective color grading.
love to hear from you
