Do More With Gimp And That Is With Gimp Plugins, As They Do Within Many Photo Editor's Like Photo Shop!

Hey All You Other Fellow Wallpaper Makers!!!  And while this is Not A Question/My Answer Posting, And while Yes I know I said that the only postings that were were going to be made here were Your Questions and/or Your Walls that You created that You wanted to share with all of Us, but I have some Great News to report to all of You as I keep playing around with Gimp and I was afraid that just by adding it to the "Tips And Tricks" Page here on this Blog, Many of You would not see it, so I'm doing this Special Posting for this reason.  And that is because one of the many things that I have enjoyed using over the past many years with All My Professional Photo Editors and that being the many "Plugin Filters" that are available on line and many of them are "Free".  These Plugin Filters let me do things above and beyond what the Professional Photo Editors can do and come to find out that Gimp also as "Plugin Filters" and there are a whole bunch of them that will let you do all kind of things within Gimp!!!  Just use your favorite search engine for "Gimp Plugins" and you will see what I mean.  But the reason for this posting is I just found for Gimp one of my favorite Plugin Filters known as "Kaleidoscope" that is just endless for creating backgrounds for Your Wallpapers!  And for those of you that may remember Bryan W. 1st Wallpaper that He shared with all of Us here whereas He used Gimp's Stone Pattern and the Fill Bucket to create His Background as shown here....

Well look at what Gimp's Kaleidoscope Plugin can do to that same background and just by using all the default settings for a single image....

So if you are like me and you are wanting to do even more with Gimp, check out all the Plugins that are available and they are, like Gimp, all "Free".  You will find the Gimp "Kaleidoscope" Plugin by clicking (Here).
  
Once you have downloaded the zip file and unzipped it, then please read the "KaleidoscopeReadMe.txt" in how to install it!!  Very easy to do and once you have none so then open up Gimp, create a background of your choice, and then click on "Filters/Animation/Kaleidoscope Animation" and then select "Single Image" for "Create Kaleidoscope On" and Your Background will end up with (5) layers and the last one being the Kaleidoscope of Your Original Layer that you then can copy and paste for a new background!!!  And as you will see, the settings for Kaleidoscope are so many, making what you want for a background, IS ABSOLUTELY ENDLESS!!!
    
Hoping this information is of Help to someone, and I'm sure Bryan will enjoy playing around with this one!!!...(((Big Smile)))  And if you have any problems getting this to work with Your Version of Gimp, please feel free to ask me for HELP!!!!
