Description Guess who's attempting her first tutorial for GIMP?! (Because that other thing about how I color in GIMP did not count as a tutorial. xD)

I was playing around one day on teh awesome-nezz known as the GIMP and I did this by accident...and I thought "O_O OMG, awesome, I should totally make a tutorial out of this!" So, uh, I did, and well...here ya go. xD

P.S. If you use this tutorial for your deviation, please comment on this with a link or devNOTE the link to me. I would very much like to see.

P.S.S. Also, the first two pictures and the last picture, the ones that are screenshots have been scaled down due to a few...size issues. xD

P.S.S.S. Yes, that bit of Japanese at the top roughly translates to "How to create Starry Skies with GIMP." I translated it the best I could, so if there's anyone out there who truly knows how to speak and write the Japanese language the right way(not just the words "kawaii" and "baka" -_-' ), please correct me...

Credits to whoever created GIMP in the first place!!
And, the tutorial ish mine. May be used for your everyday GIMP background needs, but may not be stolen.

Treetail [2011-06-10 02:38:08 +0000 UTC]

Very nice for a fist tutorial, but I must admit reading it was a bit of a challenge maybe next time have a solid color block where the text is supposed to be instead of a starry underlay.

Waterbendy In reply to Treetail [2011-06-12 05:06:49 +0000 UTC]

Haha, yeah, this tutorial is pretty old now. I didn't know anything about making legible infographics back then.

I did it, but just changed a few things. I made a transperent layer on op of the background, then I used the cloud filter. Once done, I put the opacity o the "cloud layer" to 30%.................. I love it GIMP FTW!!!!

No problem! Need help getting started?

...try it with a red sky then set a tree in front of it. Go from there.

Waterbendy In reply to Wolf-Media [2010-11-09 03:04:47 +0000 UTC]

Hummm, your version might be a little different than the version of GIMP I used (I forget which one it was, I have a new computer and Photoshop and stuff now ). Just look for the Layers box under the headings (File, Edit, Window, etc.)
