GIMP =)

Ive been using GIMP for about... 2 months...ish....

These are some thing i have made ::













I find GIMP a lot easier to use than Photoshop...
With GIMP2.4, you can download any photoshop brush, and use it on GIMP...

If you have any questions, dont be afraid to ask

Hi Pyro,glad you could make it! I have the free version of GIMP(GIMP 2.4.2) I just opened it for the first time about 1 hour or so ago,so I'll prob bug you to death till I understand the basics of the program.So,look forward to being pestered to the brink of haveing a nervous breakdown.

First question: when I open gimp,I can find nothing to add layers,is there a way to start with the first layer,leaving it blank,then add a layer,and work that layer,and add more layers to work separately,then go back to first layer to work it?(I told you I will drive you nuts)

Hmm.... i have no idea... You add a layer by Layer>New Layer at the top toolbar... and you can go to File>Dialogs>Layer on the main GIMP page and that will show you each layer

Here is a screen capture of what appears when I open Gimp,I dont see anywhere to add,show,delete,,,,anything to do with layers.Mabe there is something I am not seeing,or mabe I need to reinstall because something never installed correctly.

Ok... First... Hit File>New then select the size...

THERE you hit Layer>New Layer

On the screen you took a pic of, hit File>Dialog>Layer...
For me it pops up in a new layer

It also helps if you make GIMP smaller... heh

Ok,i'll try that,thank you

cool,thats what I was looking for! Double that last Thanks

And you are right about the size,it makes a difference,I'm just used to working most things at 1024x728 or larger,thens sizing them down

This is mine

yep,it does make things easier when you have more room to work with it on your monitor screen

Another new::

Looks good,do you do the art too? If so,what program do you use?

No... That is from a RenderPack I downloaded...

PlanetRenders.net is a GREAT website to get pics with transparent backrounds to put in pics in stuff

I just got the render, the "Halo3" sign... Added some text, made a backround and Viola

Ohh, and some filters
