@GimpKnowHow So that’s where the comments come from that say, “When I hit delete, nothing happens.” Those people are on a Mac.

Kid, your tutorial is most excellent. Keep it up. You’re giving me and others like myself a good vision of GIMP. Thanks.

Where did you get your desktop wallpaper? I absolutely love it.
April 18th, 2010 - 08:30
It’s not erasing the clouds :’(

You should use other software in your tutorials if you feel like it – it doesn’t matter if the software is free or not, the thing is to make realistic tutorials that help people learn and discover stuff – which is exactly what you do. And noone in professional life sticks to using just one piece of software.

How come when I open the template it says the words on the right?
April 18th, 2010 - 08:30
@GimpSch Hold on wrong video sorry :L :L :L :L

@MelodramaticBanana I like Wolfenstein a lot but everyone hates it because its online is crap, I don’t get why people just think the only important part of a game is its online :L
April 18th, 2010 - 08:30
No offense JX but these background tutorials are a bit unnecessary, what you should do is make a template free for download then make tutorials on how to make background effect ect which can be used on youtube backgrounds.
April 18th, 2010 - 08:30
I WILL PROTECT YOU! Jokes. Thanks for this help. I’m gonna try it later!
April 18th, 2010 - 08:30
@Soggymass
Nope. For some reason on a mac the delete key does not work.

@toontownroxx You have to extract them the brushes from the .zip file first. Use programs like 7zip or WinZip (google it) to extract the brushes from the file. After you extract them put them in your brushes folder which on a PC is username/gimp2.0/brushes. Then restart GIMP and it will work. Hope I was clear enough, leave me a profile comment for further help.
April 18th, 2010 - 08:30
@toontownroxx Did you unzip the zip folder?!?!?!?!?
