☼ Gimp Help ☼

[Black Hawk]

Need help with The Gimp? Tell me, and I'll do my best to help with your problem. Instead of wasting my day and typing out everything people get confused with, I thought I'd just let you guys ask me yourselves. I may not know everything, and I'm sorry if I can't, but Jimmy will end up coming here and helping you. =) Please do your best to describe your problem, so I will understand it better and fix it with the first post, instead of making three pages about it.

Happy Posting!

I just overall suck at GIMP, any ways to make my pictures better?

Well, that depends on what you want to look better. Post some examples and explain a little more.

[Balthasar]

Well, I did have this one question... How do you make your text grow by one pixel? Everytime I click the "grow" option, the text never grows. Any suggestions?

[Black Hawk]

After your text is where you want it, use the text tool and double click the text, then click the size up button. I'm actually not quite sure I understand. Never heard of the grow button before, this is the closest I could get.

[Bellito]

You can select your text layer (assuming it hasn't been merged; you will have to undo merge) and make sure the Text tool is selected. Then, in the Tool Options, you can set how big the text is.

[nickster532]

well can you tell me how to use gimp?

[Black Hawk]

well can you tell me how to use gimp?

No. I cannot tell you how to use Gimp. It is very confusing. Try some tutorials on GimpTalk to get you started and develop you own style.

[Little Milky]

I love the font and brush you used in your current sig. Give Brad the font pl0x.

When you have your work window open, and your render(the character), go to edit>>copy on the render. Then, go to edit>>paste on the work window.

Your post makes absalutely no sense what so ever. Be more clear.

On Topic: I am pretty good in GIMP, I made both my avatar and signature in it. But I need some tips on making my text look rusted, without script fu. Can you help me with that?

Oh, well hwo do you get a backround with GIMP instead of the patterns.

Like this:

[nickster532]

wow gimp is really confusing:O ill try to figure it out

[Alcatraz]

Downloading brushes probably. Some of that looks like grunge gradient brushes, or he could have worked with layers and made that. It all depends on how he did it. You should ask patman or whoever made it. I still think it is grunge gradient brushes though.

[Jimmy]

You make them using brushes, filters, patterns, and other things. It's not as difficult as Black is making it sound.

EDIT: Alcatraz wins.

[Beckett360]

Hmm... doesnt make much sense because when I use brushes it overlaps the character. :mad: I try to crop it but sections get lost. :mad:

Two questions.


How do you render your renders?? Like how you dit it.Do you put the pic on after u made the background?or sum else?

How do you make your penguin see trough.Like cains?

[Brock Lensar]

I like grunge and trinity brushes the most

How do you make your penguin see trough.Like cains?

1. If you're talking about renders you get from a site, just click them and get them open to the biggest view the render site will allow you, and then RIGHT CLICK ON THEM AND CLICK SAVE PICTURE AS. After saving, open GIMP and open your render. Choose the SELECT BY COLOR TOOL and click on the checkerboard area. After that, press CTRL+I and then CTRL+C. Paste the render onto your background (CTRL+V) and you're good to go.

2. When you have a background to put the penguin on, press CTRL+L in GIMP to open your layers ''tab.'' Now, create a new layer for the penguin by hitting on the screen with the background, LAYER> NEW LAYER. Now, paste your penguin onto it and on the layers tab I mentioned earlier, drag the bar that says OPACITY down to somewhere below 100%. The lower you go, the more transparent the penguin will get.

[Black Hawk]

Wonder why I don't have that rank, hopefully because Mr. Admins know I'm not a Club Penguin Player. :mod:

I wish whoever asked that question would be smart enough to read my post.

EDIT: Death to my rank. I'm getting a RV rank soon. :)

[Tokyo Boy]

I have done many tutorials on GimpTalk, and I can't do any of them because they all need this "difference" button. I don't have the button. I have no idea what they're talking about. I looked in where it's supposed to be, but it's not there. Is there another place it might be?

[2 Crazy]

Can someone give me a link straight to downloading gimp becouse i cant find the download button?

No brushes, hm, I could see that. Looks like effects and distorts.

Anyways, thanks for the font. I was at a game, so I didn't see the change when it happened, but I was aware it was gonna happen anyway. My rank was nothing though, is that what it looked like?

Filters>Render>Nature>Flame

I think that's what gave him the brush looking effect.

EDIT: We're talking about Black's current sig aren't we?

[Alcatraz]

If we are talking about his current sig, I am aware that he put some type of grid on the sig(look closely and you will see the white lines).

P.S. You don't have to answer my question anymore, I think I have perfected what I was trying to get.

Edit: Maybe a C4D?

I don't think it's a grid, but since you edited your post, it could be the C4D thang. Grid would go in straight lines up down.

True. How about white diagonal lines then?

What i'm gonna click in the GIMP link tuturial??

Oh, Wrong.. Edit: This is not an GIMP, this is a photoshop hehe.. (^_^) sorry..

For Photoshop users, go here www.pixel2life.com for tuturials, just search (Forum sigs) and you can get some tuts..

[Alcatraz]

What? Don't confuse people by telling them about photoshop and all that garbage:P . A "sig" is not a "GIMP". A sig is a sig. I don't really like your sig Destinyblade. You just put Kakashi's head in it:| . You could have at least given him and outline or something. 5/10 since its your first peice of work on GIMP(or at least you say it is).

[Jimmy]

Gimtalk.com. Scroll down just a bit and you'll find the tutorials, but they all need that difference button.


Difference in Layers

It may want you to set the layer to Difference mode. To do this, push Ctrl+L to pull up your ''Layers screen,'' as I call it. =P

Click on the layer you wish to set to difference, and in the drop down menu that says Normal, click the arrow to bring down all your options, and choose difference.

Difference in Gradients

It also may want you to do difference in gradients. To do this, when on the gradients tool options, on the same drop down menu with Normal on it, click the arrow and select difference.

I'm pretty sure those are the 2 things it might be referring to. You can also set Brushes to difference the same way as the gradients. (I think. Not totally sure.)

_________________

Filters>Lighting Effects>Supernova
Filters>Lighting Effects>GFlare

Try one of those. Play with the settings as much as you like until you get what you want. Supernova is probably what you want, unless she made her own custom GFlare.


Ask someone else about the text. I hate explaining things like that, as not many penguins can learn to use the Layers Tab.

Hawk, in case I'm wrong, here's Balth's sig. Analyze. =P

Naasty matey, I hate sigs that have animated blurs like that, no 'ffence.

[Jimmy]

lol my friend (mr. Huggkinz) is the best gimp artist ive known he made this sig (at the end of my sig)

All your Mr. Hungykinz friend uses is brushes. He just uses random brushes in random places and then colors them. I've seen his work, and that's all he uses.

[Tokyo Boy]

I have another question about GIMP. Is there any way to make the layers length they play in animation? I want to show this one layer, and then another layer poofs up really fast and it goes back to the first layer. Is there any way to adjust lenghts?

In your layers name, after the name, put a space and then (300ms)

Change the number to what you want, and that's how long it'll stay.

*Curses to self in a sad tone*

I don't think that your link works Balti(it could just be me, but you never know). Also, it is showing a red X under the link that you posted. either fix the link, or fix the picture.

New question: I need some help with layer masking. Its only worked a few times every time I use a gradient on the layer mask, but all the other times it just makes the image transparent. What do I do? The layer mask I use for it is "White(full opacity)". Thanks if you can help with this.

[Jojo101432]

Okay. I have a very simple question that I know you can answer. I normally use paint but it is just not good. So...what is the website that I can download it from.

[Alcatraz]

You can get gimp at http://gimp.org, or http://download.com. If you don't have GTK Runtime Environment, you will need that too, or GIMP will not work. You can find that on both of the links I posted in this post. Happy GIMPing;)

[Tokyo Boy]

Yet another question.

Whenever I save an animation, I save it as Gif. Whenever I do, I put export, and it doesn't save. What's going on?

[Alcatraz]

Hmm, do you mean that it doesn't save as an animation, or it doesn't save at all?

[The Dude 95]

Ok i qustion can i animate with GIMP? And if so how do i do it?

[Alcatraz]

Yes, you can animate in GIMP. You need to work in layers, the layers will serve as the frames. To make sure that the image is not to shaky, go to Filters>Animation>Playback, and that will show you sort of what the animation will be like. Then after your done with the animation, save it as a .GIF and check the circle with "save as animation" and hit "Export", do not check interlace, gif coment is ok, check "loop forever", set the delay between the frames, and for the frame disposal, click the arrow, and select "one frame per layer(replace).

Hope that helps you with your animations in GIMP. My question still isn't answered... Owell.

[Alcatraz]

That looks like a simple gradient to me. To most of my knowledge, just look for it in your gradients, or you can make one. If you can't find it, try switching around the foreground color that you have selected.

[Bluematt]

i will be here to help now.
jimmy your new sig is uhm... er... well it looks like you could have copied the picture from the brush set and added a light effect infront of the render. well thats what i would have done;)but you probaly didnt knowing you.
black i like your new sig styles great c4d's i think the background could have used something better but overall i like it.

[Balti]

It doesnt work if you select the gradient and put it because It will all become that Gradient.

Eww, using C4Ds and stealing brush pics? HELL NO.

I made that background myself, and it has those lines on the right side because I smudged black into it with a grunge-ish brush.

I either used some sort of fractical brushes or MetalCX brushes for the background.NO C4DS. I've never used an abstract render in a sig.

[Bulldoz4]

I changed it, so I don't know which one you mean. This one?

Can you paste the CD4 for me?

[Black Hawk]

Omg Lol Hai guys! Been away for awhile, Forums wouldn't work on my computer.

That's it i dont know how to get an background like that, can you tell me?

I motion blurred a render for the very background, and right behind the render, I used some abstract renders set on various layer modes.

Ehh? Be more clear, I didn't understand you really. Anywaddle, glad your back Bluematt. If I remember right, it was one of your tuts that got me more interested in the capabilities(did I spell that right?) of GIMP.:)

Thats pretty good for C4D junk, Bulldoz. Get the colors to blend a little better though. Try messing with the hue and saturation, or colorifying it.

I'm having a lot of trouble saving things on GIMP. I've been having to take a screenshot of the edit on GIMP and saving it on Paint. It just won't let me save.

I save all my edits as JPG on GIMP. It won't let me save it into 'My Pictures' when I save it as JPG, only 'My Documents and Settings.' Can you tell me how to save it differently, or at least tell me what is wrong?

It used to work before, but all of a sudden it stopped.

The problem is, 'My Pictures' isn't an option. Also, if I save it in 'Documents and Settings' it doesn't actually save.

You cant use GIMP to animate. Try downloading Gif Animator. Search it on Google.

Where can I download some GIMP brushes? And how do I put them into GIMP?

[Jimmy]

Where can I download some GIMP brushes? And how do I put them into GIMP?

http://deviantart.com (Search GIMP Brushes)

To get them into GIMP, open the brush pack folder and double click the brush you want to open it. Once the brush image is open in GIMP, click Script Fu>Selection>To Brush

Name the brush what you want and click Ok and you're done. This is the easiest, but not the only way...The other way includes going to GIMP's Program Files folder and manually putting the brush into it. The Script Fu is just easier. =P

There isn't a rain button. If I remember right, what I did was:


Duplicate the layer of the image you're adding rain to about 4 times.
Add a transparent layer above each of the duplicated layers you just made.
After that, add noise (Filters>Noise>Scatter RGB)
Make your alpha slider go up to around 50, and uncheck Independent RGB. Set your red, blue, and green sliders up to increase how much noise is added.
Then, motion blur (Filters>Blur>Motion Blur) each of the noise layers. (Make sure preview is checked, and the mode is Linear. Play with your settings until it looks good to you.
Set each of your transparent noise layers to multiply, and merge them down with the image layers you're adding rain to.
Press Filters>Animation>Playback to view it.


It's actually a lot easier than it sounds. =P

There has to be more than one layer. If you merged ALL the layers together, don't do that. =P
And it doesn't matter if it's transparent or not. The only difference in the transparent layers is that you have to move the Alpha slider on the Scatter RGB step.

Uninstall GIMP and use Paint. That's how.

Just experiment with some of the features I gues.

Red Ribbon: You need to save the image as a .gif image. Make sure when your saving it, you read all the options to it, or you'll screw up if you just hit "save" "save" "save". There is an option to save the .gif as an animation. When you get to the point where you're exporting the image, there should be a little drop down box that says "I don't care" in it. drop the box down and you will have two more options. One of them is to only play one frame at a time, and the other is to play all of them. Did this help? If it did, then check the animation you made, it should be there.

Look at this for an example.

Aaah this guy screwed the tut up.

Bring your render layer to the top, alpha to selection your sparks layer, hide that layer, and on a new layer, fill it with a dark color that matches yoru render.

[Dancing Flame]

How do people get a like shattered effect around the render on teh background of some pics? Is it an effect or just A picture on the background?

[11dx11]

When I have a render and I cut It out of the background why does It still have those little marks around It?

You don't cut it.

You have to register in the render gallery (assuming you're using Planet Renders) to get the full sized render. The full size is also transparent, so you can just shrink the image and work from there.

I think he means he tried to render it himself.

The render he used was off of PR, I saw it here: http://www.planetrenders.net/renders/displayimage.php?pos=-16690 .

I think he was trying to cut it out but did it with the small black BG size.

[DxDomination]

- How do I "render" stuff?
- How do I put in text after I make the screen?
- When I put big pictures in how do I make them cut out perfect
Thanks

Oh ok, I really don't get It though? Could you explain more please...


Sorry

[mr.greenman]

Hey I would like to know how to make my new Sig I just made Lower KB because it's 49 and it needs to be only 40. How do you fix that?

Re-explain the second and third thing pl0x.

When you save it as jpeg it will let you lower the quality. Check the preview box and set the quality to where it needs to be.

[Alcatraz]

I think for the third one, he/she wants to know how to get a perfect cut when he's "rendering" or cropping a certain part of an image. I'm not sure about the second one though.

Ok, like my Luigi and Mario... How do you get them there and still make words and background?
2nd-- When you have a giant picture of a PSP how do you take out the background and make it smaller all on GIMP?

[Alcatraz]

Okay, it is not really at all possible to tell you an exact way to cut it out perfectly, but, one you have it cut out of the background, paste it on the sig/background or whatever your working on. Before you anchor it down, go to Layer> Scale Layer. There should be a counter on the length and width of the pixels and you can move them up and down when you get the right dimensions you want for it, hit "OK" and it will make the image smaller or bigger.

^sorry if spelling errors, typing really fast.^

Can you explain that differently, you lost me at "Okay".

[Alcatraz]

Sorry about that, I was in a hurry to get it typed last night.

Now like I said, when you have the part of your image selected that you want to "shrink" or scale down, go to Layer> Scale Layer and a dialog box should pop up. It will have to little box's with your images dimensions(length and width). If you want it to look even and not all messed up, do not click the chain link beside these boxes. Just lower the dimensions. Then click "ok" and your image should be the size you wanted it. If you want the whole image to be smaller, the just go to Image> Scale Image and it will scale the entire picture to the size you want it.

Was that more clear? Because if it wasn't, then I can't help you.

[IAmBlueBoy]

I seriuosly need you to tell me how to render....PLEASE!

[Whilo]

Black Hawk, explain to me how to render, pl0x.

[Alcatraz]

:?: Follow the link that I posted above. It is pretty detailed and it won't cause too much confusion. . .

[Tyl3r4]

Can someone tell me how to set text and images at an angle?

Like in Dom's element avtars the element symbol is at an angle.


Edit:Nevermind, Easy to find, found it as you can tell by my avatar

[Alcatraz]

Nice. . . Moose? Glad you figured out the rotation tool.

[Whilo]

Okay, i'll read it. Yay two tuts. One for rendering, the other for creating and using paths.

[Whilo]

SUPER SUPER TERRIBLY SORRY FOR DOUBLE POSTING.
But, I need to know this: How do you make rain on GIMP?

[Alcatraz]

Go back a few pages in this thread, Jimmy explains it in nice detail.

[Dancing Flame]

A bit of a nooby question but oh well, how do you get those borders that have a line around a few pixels from edge of picture then sory of go strange ( sorry don't know how to explain it) to the rest of the picture. Kogeck does the line but without the distorted glassy look outside it please help.

Hm, perhaps you mean the frame thing.

Have your FG color set to black, select all on a new layer, edit>stroke selection 10. Change to white, and on the same layer, edit>stroke selection to 8. On the same layer, switch to black, edit>stroke selection 6. Set the layer to Overlay.

[123shortymc]

Hey can someone tell me how to sort of like border your text..say you have some white normal text then you have like a balck border around it if you could tell me i would appreciate it thanks also how do you like outer glow text thanks

Outline text-

Alpha-to-select your text. Select>>Grow. Grow by about two pixels. Make a new layer. Fill the new layer with black. Raise the normal layer above the new layer.

Glow-

Duplicate your text. On the bottom layer, gaussian blur.

Can you show me an example of this because it sounds easy enough for me to do!

[Alcatraz]

Can you see it in my sig? If you can't click the link in it and you will see the original larger version much more clear. Is that a good enough example?

[Whilo]

I have to questions about this tutorial:http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/article/A-Very-Easy-Tutorial-3549.html (http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/article/A-Very-Easy-Tutorial-3549.html)
1. How did he remove the backround off his render?

2. How did he get his render on to the sig?

If these questions of mine are answered, I think I might finally be able to render on GIMP! :D

[Alcatraz]

It is not a render until it is cut out. To get the render onto the sig, just copy and paste it. To remove the background, he/she probably did Layers>Transparency>Alpha To Channel. and then he or she just made a path around the image, made a selection, and then went to Select>Invert and then pressed Ctrl+K. Hope that helped.

[flubby10]

Example of My Problem: Say I have a picture that has white eyes. When I do color to alpha with a white backround and paste it onto my sig backround and the eyes turn the backround colors what do I do?

[Bulldoz4]

How to i get them lines on my sig, like the white bar?
And how do i make the shadow of the penguin?
