The Enemy Within

This is a Letter Arts Tutorial in GIMP/Inkscape (Intermediate Level - 3/10). I am not entirely sure of the exact origins of this term, but I know that Rush did a song about it years ago... and that was when I did this calligraphy titled, "The Enemy Within". Check out this video that demonstrates the various stages of the creative process in a non-technical fun video... See if you can spot the software effects used... 0:10 Base image (Blurred to focused) 0:24 Curves Tool (to darken the image) 0:30 Warm Image Temperature (to brown the image) 0:33 Inscription "The Enemy Within" placed on sword (LOTR looking) 0:37 Background overlay (eventually faded to about 10% opacity) 0:56 Vignette (darkening around the edges) 1:03 Logo in upper right appears 1:08 Signing Block Appears Read the tutorial at http://steveczajka.posterous.com Thanks Steve
