This tutorial utilizes one of my favorite tools in GIMP: the Displace Map filter. Using this tool can add so much depth and realism to your work; however, it's probably one of the most underutilized tools. It's not just for text, however. It can be used to map textures to landscapes, make tattoos look more realistic, photomanipulations, etc. etc. The list is really endless.
So, try out this tutorial, learn a new trick to add to your arsenal, and make your graphics stand out above the rest! Sounds like an infomercial, doesn't it?! LOL! If you download this tutorial within the next 5 minutes, I'll throw in a free rebate coupon for your next download of GIMP! WOW!
Sorry for the quality of images I used in this thing. I really threw the tutorial together awhile ago and never changed them. Just not enough time in the day.
I dont know if you read my mind or what, but i have been looking for a tut like this for a long time! I am really getting into photomanip (as if you didnt know) and i notice that some of my pictures have a 2D or False feel to them because the alterations or additions i make look too flat and not in keeping with the image. I was hoping that through trial and error i would find the method i have needed, but Mate, you have just made my life 200% easier! I cant thank you enough!

Yes, i think it did get buried in the stack, and i wouldnt have known where to start on a search. i think i queried "mapping a layer" or "overlaying an image" but obviously the returns were not what i was looking for. Probably if i had typed "displacement" i would have found it, but then i am not always the sharpest tool in the box
Heh ROFL!
Anyway i tried it, and it works a treat! Looks natural too.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
