Guest Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 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.

JoeDaStudd Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 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.

Nadril Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sloter Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Doesnt PS cost money? (Thanks btw :) ) Yeah, not a lot though, only ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! Wrong it is only $650. There are other ways of getting it but they can not be discussed. You can also get it though the educational store for much cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipkjooo Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soa Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
