August 12, 200817 yr Well, ive had the gimp for about 5 months...And i cant get the hang of it... I'm basically puting colours on with the picture and smudging em, i like the result, but to be honest...But when i look at some pictures I just get soo jelous...Are there any tutorials (sorry for spelling :? ) i can download? Also, can you link them to me? I'm just on dial up, so it would be nice if i could just have a 1 click-> download. Edit: this thread was moved twice FTW
August 12, 200817 yr I've never personally used GIMP, but when I used to mess around a lot with graphics I used photoshop and I'm sure a lot of the sigs that your jealous of are made in photoshop as it is sort of a standard tool in graphic art. I'm sure if you searched google for GIMP tutorials you bound to find one that will help. You can always as people in The Gallery questions as its the board dedicated to art.
August 12, 200817 yr Doesnt PS cost money? (Thanks btw :) ) Yes, It is fairly expensive but well worth it if you choice to get it.
August 12, 200817 yr Google "photoshop tutorials" 95% of them can be followed using gimp (you just have to take into account different namings of functions/tools). As for the whole Photoshop vs GIMP argument is down to budget, personal choice and OS. I've used both, but personally use GIMP a lot more to save cash.

August 13, 200817 yr Well, *ahem*, you don't have to buy photoshop :P. There are a lot of GIMP tutorials out there. Some people in the Gallery use it too, including Thruitall.

August 14, 200817 yr Why is this in Tech & Computers. Shouldn't this be in the Gallery? :? I guess it could be either or. Personally i think it should be in gallery as he would receive better assistance.

August 14, 200817 yr I believe Ps elements or some other basic version is only about $20. ;) GIMP is better than PS elements.
August 14, 200817 yr Search http://www.deviantart.com for something like 'signature tutorial gimp'. There are tonnes of other sites too, I find it hard to believe that you haven't found any good ones yet. :-s Anyway, shouldn't this be in the questions sticky? pixel avvy by me deviantART
August 14, 200817 yr viewtopic.php?f=16&t=754368 Soa's got some too. =P. danke Schon Sam!^^"Blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves you know"-Carl Barât
August 14, 200817 yr If you need tutorials for GIMP specifically use http://www.gimptalk.com Their forum is loaded with user tutorials from everything that deal with basic signatures to signatures including animation. Just goto www.gimptalk.com and click "Official Tutorials" along the top banner. Tons of info for beginners->Advanced users.
August 14, 200817 yr http://www.gimptalk.com http://www.deviantart.com http://www.planetrenders.net Those are the main source of resources that I use. Just a little tip, don't get too involved with smudging because in order to make it look good to you and to others, you have to understand what to smudge, where to smudge it and how to control it. So I suggest you to experiment with other areas such as vector, manipulation, C4D usage, and tutorials.
