    This looks great. And I'd really like to get it to work. I use Gimp, but there are several functions I can't seem to get to work, most notably the Add Noise function as you have described it. Is there any way to do this using Gimp?

    Thanks in advance and grats on the award

    Inspired by this (and I admit unable to get it to work in GIMP due to my limited knowledge), I stumbled upon a similar and even simpler approach that works ok for me:

    Filter - Noise - Spread (50)
    Filter - Blur - Gausian Blur (5)
    Colours -Threshold

    I don't think PS has a spread filter... so this might be gimp specific.

    There isn't in my CS3 Ver. 10 - but someone may have built a custom filter to duplicate whatever it does.

    That looks like the Brush Strokes - Spatter filter in PS.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
