Love the Gimp Gradient Tool

This is new blog where I write
about my favorite Gimp tools.

For those who do not know, Gimp
is an image editing tool.

A common use for Gimp is
creating logos and other graphics
for the web and for websites.

Today, I was working with the
gradient tool. Just love this
guy!

As far as I can tell, the gradient
tool really consists of 3 parts:

1. A foreground color
2. A background color
3. A way to bridge the two

Actually, I'm simplifying things
here somewhat.

The foreground and background colors
are really not integrated into the
gradient tool. Rather, they are
integrated into Gimp itself.

That is to say, the foreground and
background colors have a global nature
to them.

Here's the essence of the gradient tool.
The essence consists of two parts:

1. Stretch a line between two points.
2. Gradually transition from one color to
   another.

OK. Next, I'll be uploading an image that
I created with the gradient tool. However,
first I need to learn how to upload images
to blogger. I'll be editing this post as
soon as I learn. That's the plan.
