(bumping this partially as a reminder)
Question though to any GIMPer: Is there a text tutorial? I could use one; every time I go back to GIMP I can't recall how to install text, or how to space it.

I whipped up this tutorial for those who needed help with the GIMP.

Here's my muzzle flare and laser tutorial.

First grab the brush tool and draw a red circle.


Now get the smudge tool and do it like so.


Repeat with yellow and white.






Feel free to post your own tutorials!

Enjoy! I'll be posting some more in the future.

Wow, very nice, This'll help alot!

[Thunder-blade]

Here is another tutorial on lasers...


Use the Freehand tool to make this shape, and color it in with a white brush.




Do both the Midtones and the Highlites.


Use the smudge tool to soften any angles.


Enjoy!

[Alpha]

Bravo! Give this man a medal! (Quoting someone, don't know who) This guide has helped me ALOT.

[Astor]

Awesome! I was just about asking you to do this!
uuuuhh... How do i upload a picture?

[-Aki-]

Cool! I am downloading this right now!

[Clonecommando007]

Wow, that makes it seem so much easier!

[Rook]

Hum, that was a cool little way of showing someone how to do that.

[DarthPineapple]

Cool! Can you post some more tutorials? I might need this in my upcoming comic.

[ARC CloneTrooper141]

I'd rather use the photoshop on my school's new macs, but gimp is great to use for making your SWBF mods!

[Clonecommando007]

Where do you download GIMP again?

[DarthPineapple]

Aaah, I love you. I can figure out lighting, blurs, distorts, cropping, selecting, text-bubbling, colorizing and more... but I could never figure out blaster bolts .

[Jedi Joe]

Thunder, are we like twins separated at birth? First, we are both sharpie pimps, then I find out we are also GIMPers?!? Dude, that's scary...

Nice tutorial btw! I have my own way of making blaster bolts.

[Comrade Faie]

Throw me in there! Bruthahood!

[Astor]

But seriusly. How do I upload pic's.

[Thunder-blade]

You have to put them on an image hosting site first like Brickshelf.

Wow I didn't think I'd get this many comments!

I'll be sure to add more in the future... like my hologram, force ghost, lightning...

If you want more of my special effects check out this.

[Jedi Joe]

Blade, can I post some pics of my special effects?

[Thunder-blade]

Sure go right ahead... this thread is for tutorials and examples!

I like your new signature by the way...

[Astor]

No I mean to gimp.

[Thunder-blade]

Just edit the photo you want to do and save it.

Then upload it to whatever image hosting site you use.

[Jedi Joe]

Thanks! I made that with the gimp as well!

Here is a sig I made for someone on another forum:


Another sig I made for someone:


Lol:

[Thunder-blade]

Nice! Very nice! I think Cody's muzzle shot is a little pointy... good though!

I love the last one!

[ODST7]

I might use GIMP thanks!

[Thunder-blade]

Here's another tutorial on Force Ghost and Holograms!

Take the Paths Tool (B)










That's it! If you want to add blue lines across the "Ghost" to make a hologram that's cool too!
