I'm a huge fan of Movie 300, I've watched this movie like many times and still i don't get bore of it, and I thing that's the magic of this movie. Getting inspired by special effects of this movie I was helplessly trying to find out ways to create environment and effects like they've provided in movie. And then God heard me. I came to know that there's a plugin "Movie 300" in "Gimp Plugin Registry". So without any delay I downloaded that plugin and created my first masterpiece "orion"[take a look]. And then as I always do, writing this tutorial to make sure that every reader of mine knows how to do this. So in today's tutorial I'm going to show you how to achieve this Movie 300 effect with pre-made plugins in few steps.
Let's get started then...

Step 1: Open this image in Gimp. (or you can use your own image).

I think the best way to learn use of any image editing software is to get acquainted with the plugins available with that software. Today I'm going to enlist 10 new and coolest Filter-Plugins that every gimp beginner should learn and use to speedup his learning process.
