This is a simple "Lighted frame" for those beautiful picture moments. You can change the Background of your choice and you can choose the color of the frame.

Is the .vbr a brush? I'm asking because my brush files end in .gih or .gbr

gih is animated brush, gbr is gimp brush, vbr is a vector brush.

Oh, okay. So what is a .vbr file? I'm just curious.

I left out vbr in my first post. They are parametric brushes that can be made by using the brush editor. They are far more accurate in the details of the brush design than the regular greyscale gbr brushes. They are considered in the vector class, although I personally wouldn't consider them to be actual vector brushes. They are very useful when you need your brush strokes to have a lot more detail in them.

Pocholo, can you make it so that the lighted frame can be rounded rectangular as well as a circle?

I'm thinking along the lines of a billboard advertisement background with the image being the billboard sign, with the lights around it. Make sense?

Thank you Mahvin for the request. Please go to the initial post to download the version2 of the script.

I would love an Alpha To Logo version of this effect.

I'm still a newbie in scripting python :keybdtype

. Let see if MareroQ can use it and add it to the alpha to logo scripts.

Graechan, what version of the plugin are you using? I'm using version 2 and the plugin works fine for me. Do you have the required layerfx.py plugin and the vbr file in the right places?

Really? That's strange. Have you tried putting it in your brushes folder?

Variable bitrate (VBR) is a term used in telecommunications and computing that relates to the bitrate used in sound or video encoding. As opposed to constant bitrate (CBR), VBR files vary the amount of output data per time segment. VBR allows a higher bitrate (and therefore more storage space) to be allocated to the more complex segments of media files while less space is allocated to less complex segments. The average of these rates can be calculated to produce an average bitrate for the file.

I'm declining due to age and other factors, but I know where my user folder brushes is

.vbr is a parametric brush that can be made by using the brush editor. Mahvin explained it to me in this thread. Try restarting gimp, run the plugin and see if you still get the same error.

Hi Graechan. I uploaded here a converted version of the brush to .gbr, try it to see.
