In this tutorial I will show you how to create the Aurora Borealis effect, exactly like the wallpaper of the new Apple MACOS X Leopard. This time using the new GIMP.I have to say it’s easier than I thought.

I’ve been using Photoshop for a long time, I think it’s the best tool for manipulating images and creating all sorts of effects, although I really like the Adobe’s main product, I have seen a lot of articles about GIMP, that stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program lately. And people creating amazing effects using this tool. So I decided to give it a try.
