sweet tutorial man!!! but uh, whats a GIMP o..o

[Kizzi]

GNU Image Manipulation Program. :P

And this tutorial could do with more detail. And it's easier to save the holo sheet as a pattern, right click on the selected area and go to Edit-->Fill-->Pattern.

Everything basically works for me fine, except where is this file copy?

 

There is a file tab at the top of the opened file but it doesn't have copy, theres only copy under edit-

yeah

 

and when i open gimp now it takes away the thing to lighten it

how do i get it back?

[Jak35]

how do i take screenshots

[Slash]

you just go to whatever you want to take a screenshot of on your screen and then click this button(sorry if it's really big:():

 

 

then just go to Paint and paste it there and then save it and upload it on photobucket,tinypic,other thing you use to upload pics

 

and that's all :P

[God GAK]

It's OK. I recently discovered it but i was too lazy to post it <_

[Jak35]

thank you for telling i will update soon

[Slash]

ok I can't wait to see it updated 8)

[Cyber Altair]

i already know how to do it but with screenshots it will be better.

[God Kaiba™]

Hey Jak it doesn't work how do you holo it (when i said it worked i ment the putting the holo adn pic together):?

[Lucas Maximus]

Nice tutorial, im making one now with my own background, and once again brilliant tutorial.

[God Kaiba™]

I've edited my first reply on this cuz i ment the part where you put both together just don't know how to holo:?

 

COuld you possibly take screenshots????

[Cyber Altair]
