A smudge workaround for those who have not updated to GIMP v2.6x. I have Linux on my main machine and need to update my OS before I can update GIMP. My laptop has GIMP2.6 but is a pain to use for images like this as it's smaller, slower and clunkier than my main machine.

The Smudge tool in v2.4 will not resize and even if I resize the fuzzy circle with the Paintbrush, it reverts back to size 19 when I change to the Smudge tool. What I did was use the Paintbrush to resize to fit the image I want to smudge, opened a new image, painted that large-size fuzzy circle brush in the new image, autocropped it and copied it to the clipboard. Then clicked the smudge tool and browsed to the clipboard and then used the large fuzzy circle for smudging.

Zarnad and Kasrak, I'm really glad you both like the tutorials.

Kasrak, thanks for your suggestion. I've changed all of the tutorial avatars now.

I agree. I see you have thumbnails for them in the HullDo blog. They'd look nice in here too.

Your tutorials are great, but I think it'd be better if you picked thumbnails that showed the final result of the tutorial, rather than your site's logo. Thanks for contributing!

That is so EVIL. Love it. Going to have to practice that great smudging technique on the candle. Wow! ... and this is only part 1.
