Hey everyone, I seem to be on a tutorial craze in the past week and have another one for you... this ones on making a sand texture in GIMP.
Hope somone finds it useful...
1)Create a new image- 500x500
2)Change the foreground color to #E5A54B or any light brown color of your choice
3)Filters>Noise>HSV Noise
Values shown below:

You can play around with these settings until you get the desired effect. I liked these.
4)Now duplicate the layer- Layers>Duplicate
5)Select the duplicated(new) layer- Filters>Blur>Gaussian Blur
Use values preset values.
6)Reduce the duplicated layers opacity to 40%
7)Merge all layers- Ctrl+M
Enjoy, and please leave C&C on this tutorial.\
Thanks,
Anayar
