I decided to keep you informed about my current investigations and work on the iMailShot application.
I have now finalized the application framework so that I can now concentrate on the templates.
Templates have to meet several requisites:
- Each picture has to be licence free, so I often use the Wikimedia website to find my background pics.
- Each template has to be original and eye catching, so I heavy use Gimp to enrich the content of the templates
A brush effect alone is not that sexy to use alone, so I often use it as a basis for the mapping feature of Gimp, thus you can have very beautiful embossing effects on your bakcgrounds.
I also found very usefull informations about perspective effects : yet, Gimp has the feature built-in but the user is still responsible to define the line of horizon and the creepage. Here the french website Bases du Dessin helps (if you speak french :)
See ya
Seb
