Then duplicate that? Instead of a new layer named hp? Unless I'm reading the step incorrectly. I puzzled over step 10 quite a while trying to figure out what you meant anyway. Think I got it right.<br /> <br /> My text after applying step 11, doesn't have that cool wave-like effect on the lightning shaped upright of the P. Mine is solid gray. I don't know how you got that. I checked and rechecked my settings in B &amp; E and they are the same as yours. Satin effect didn't change it to like yours either.<br /> <br /> Step 14: The application of the gradient. Is that supposed to be Alpha to Selection on the original text in the new layer? A direction of the gradient would have been nice. I did vertical and it looks pretty much like yours.<br /> <br /> All in all, this is a great tutorial and the results are awesome. Still scratching my head over that wave-like effect down the back of the P though.<br /> http://gimpology.com/submission/view/create_a_harry_potter_style_text_effect_with_gimp/#commentshttp://gimpology.com/submission/view/create_a_harry_potter_style_text_effect_with_gimp/#comments421
