The best thing I’ve discovered!

How to make it with an image like the ipod in it.

step 1.

I wanted to make it on the sides. so I found an image with a white background. Find an image with a baground.

step 2.

Open it.

Step 3.

With the text tool put some text on it. You can adjust the fonts and everything.

Step 4. Add brushes and stuff it doesn’t matter.

step 5. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT STEP!

Save it as a .GIF. Click “Save as animation” then “export file”

Step 6.

voila you have the blinkie text!

rock on,

Sharky aka Gimper2.6

This is what it’ll look like:

Step 1

Make a new Image. I used 300 X 300

Step 2.

Use the bucket tool to make the background solid black

Step 3.

Go to brushes and select the sparks

Step 4.

adjust the size. I used 1.43

Step 5.

To add color to the blank the sparks use the “Circle Fuzzy 17″ brush

Step 6.

Pick your color.

Step 7.

tap around lightly.

Step 8.

VOILA!

you’ve probably clicked “save”. Don’t do that…..it saves it as a .xcsf and photobucket, tinypic and imageshack don’t allow that to be uploaded. Well thru trial and error you’ve saved as a .jpg. noo…that turns out bad….and it looks like you made it off paint. save it as a .png for the best results. .bmp for paint though

Do you beleong to any forums? Or just want a cool header for your blog? or wanna make a logo or a ad? Well here’s what you can do to make something like that ^^

1. Go to “New” and create a new image. Not too big.

2. Use the gradient tool and select your gradient. I used “burning paper”

3. Get it the way you like. I did it from side to side like this _______________________

4. Then click Open (ctrl+O)

5. Find the picture you want then let it open in a new window.

6. Click “Copy”

7. Then on your original image, use the box with —- those lines — then select the whole thing.

8. Finally click paste and drag it where you want it.

9. Add your text with the A tool.

10. SAVE IT AS A .PNG for the best results

11.  and voila you are done!

To make something like this:

Simply don’t add the image.

I’ve gotten a lot of questions on how to do stuff and how other guides won’t help them at all. Well here I go. You have your 3 MOST IMPORTANT BUTTONS

• The “A” button=the text tool
• The paintbrush button=brushes
• your background tool/gradient tool=for gradients or just simple backgrounds

I’ll keep updating.
