Re: GIMP/Photoshop Thread

[Custom 333]

I would reccoment Paint.net instead of GIMP. It really stinks originally, but look in Help>Plugins, there are many awesome, safe, and user-frendly plugins made by fans. You will need some basic knowledge of the Windows file system to install the .dlls, but you can learn to do that on the same fourm as the plugins.

Well Paint.net is easier to use, but GIMP is a much more versatile program, but at the expense of a higher learning curve..

But, Photoshop>all (in terms of what you can do with it, not bang for the buck).

Boy is it hard to learn.

PDN can kick GIMP's tail with plugins.

I Honestly feel there both awesome programs and work pretty good together. I've Used PDN to create the explosion in the background and GIMP and google images to add in the ships.

Indeed, I often use more than one editing program to create graphics and such. PDN is good for coming up with designs and stuff from stratch, I think, and Photoshop (And I assume GIMP) is better for cropping and arranging the final product with finishing touches.

Hey, if you order GIMP from the site it's free isn't it? Well I was wondering about shipping prices. How much are they?

It's a download; shipping isn't needed.

[Cobra]

No, theres a place where you can buy it on a CD for free, but I found the ship price for it. So ignore my first post.

Why exactly would you want that if you could download it for free?

[Cobra]

Could somone please make a tutorial on how to download GIMP on windows Vista? I've watched some on youtoob but the web site is diffrent on my computer.

[Rook]

Vista! OMG run for your lives. Sorry I have no idea. Still using XP. Anybody got answer for him other then... GOOGLE IT!

I have googled it, and it dosn't work. When I think I have it, it says, "You must be a member of the somthing somthing before installing this program". And none of my XP computers have internet. So I have to get it for my Vista.

[Rook]

Did you try doing it from downloads.com?

[Cobra]

No, I havn't tried that. Just GIMP.org

(Edit) I tried Download.com but it dosn't work either. After it downloads it says, "You must be logged in as an administrator or member of the Power User Groups before installing this program". Did anyone else have this problem? It did exactly the same on GIMP.org.

[Darman]

Since I'm rather hopeless with transparency in GIMP could anyone make the background transparent?

[Green Tee]

Sorry Darman, can't help you, haven't used GIMP in a while. But I did this.

[SithFilmer]

How's this, Darman? I used Photoshop, though I doubt it really matters.

Thank's so much for the help Sith.

1. Why didn't you use PDN? You know how to make transparency there. 'oh:
2. I don't get the poster, there's energy everywhere and some text, with no apparent source of the energy.

I wouldn't have said anything if it were just the galaxies, but it looks like the walker is getting blown up.
