First Gimp Sig

[UltraByte]

@_@ This took me FOREVER..... I'm so used to Photoshop. That, and I tried putting pictures into the sig, and they had white stuff around them that wouldn't come off. So this sucks.

I NEED HELP WITH GIMP!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Check out GimpTalk or The Gimp FAQ at NSider for some tutorials.

Anyways, it's a lot better than my first.Good job. =)

I looked at a few, and they're all really confusing... I do what they say to do and it ends up not coming out like they said it would! ><

I'll help ya with rendering.





See if my tutorial helps.

I wish I could help, but I'm a Photoshop guy. That isn't too bad for GIMP though, nice work.

I made a new one, being obsessed with Walkie Talkie Man and all... I like this one a lot... It took me a while to get all the background off the picture. Anybody know an easier way to get rid of backgrounds on pics?

 

[Ascendancy]

There are a lot of ways, it's called rendering. What did you do?

Well, id didn't have a white background so it too longer... But with other images, I try the feathering thingy, but it still comes out with white around the edges.

Feathering is only what you do AFTER you render out the image, because sometimes it looks choppy and has places where you missed, so you feather the edges to make it look prettier. I meant what tool did you use to get rid of the background. I am not sure what GIMP has, but I know Photoshop has:

Magic Wand
Lasso Tool
Quick Masking(What I use)
And the Pen Tool.

 

[UltraByte]

I use the Magic Wand a LOT, and then I use the Selection tools to get the rest out.

 

[Ascendancy]

Have you ever heard of Quick Masking, or can you do that in GIMP?

 

[UltraByte]

Uh... No. I'm not sure if you can do it in Gimp.

I love Google, and now you love me. Enjoy:
