I love GIMP. I know I said that before, but I really love GIMP. This was a little more experimenting, and I did this in about 6 steps, I think.
- Opened the original as layers:
- Duplicated the layer twice (to be on the safe side).
- In top layer, inverted color and did a Gaussian blur (5.0 horizontal and vertical).
- Set layer mode to "Grain Merge."
- Merged down. Set Color to Alpha Transparency in the Layers|Transparency menu - the transparent color is that grey. You will know "that grey" when you see it. :)
- Added a new layer for underneath, filled with color of my choice (brown).
- Duplicated the top (tree) layer, and set top layer mode to "screen", with opacity of ~50%.
Voila! Took about 20 minutes, and that's just because I was experimenting and didn't really know what I was doing.
I love GIMP. :)
