I am going to use your Bounce avatar on another site if that is okay with you.
EDIT: May I have another Avatar for my other account on a different site? If not that is alright.

Hey Dani, have you reached the level of expertise where you can include an animation in the middle of a signature?

Feb 12 2008, 03:50 AM
Thanks Kat, it's just
I haven't figured it out Chad, but I'm trying desperately.

^ Not yet, Chad. XD. I wanted an animation in my banner too.

Whenever you post those. I feel the need to respond with one of my own.

Dani I am downloading a free trial of GIMP and I am coming to you when, not if, I have trouble or need help. Is that okay?
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 04:21 AM
Ahahaha of course. Gimp is tricky.
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 04:22 AM
Alright, so I am completely computer retarded so I hope that you are ready for some intense questioning.

EDIT: Pregunta numero uno: How do you import a picture. (I'm off to a great start I know.)
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 04:29 AM
I don't have Gimp anymore but I think you go to File->Open
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 04:31 AM
Oh dear, I think I am going to give up. This is much to complicated.
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 04:35 AM
There are a bunch of full Gimp tutorials on Icon_Tutorial on LJ. They're pretty darn helpful.
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 04:36 AM
I don't have an LJ, can I still view them? And how do I get to them?
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 04:38 AM
I think you should be able to see them. Here's the link:
http://community.livejournal.com/icon_tutorial/ on the left hand side go to Archive and search for ones that have full Gimp tuts.
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 04:40 AM
Alright I will do that. And if I bother you please tell me because I am sure it is obnoxious that I know absolutely nothing.
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 04:40 AM
Don't worry, you're not
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 04:42 AM
Haha, alright. I am reading a full tutorial, but it is all so overwhelming. It's times like these where I realize how un-computer-savvy I am.
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 04:45 AM
Just give it time, you'll learn

My first graphics were the ugliest things on the planet.
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 04:46 AM
Maybe making graphics isn't for me. I don't even know how to get an image from Photobucket into GIMP, plus the fact that I have the patience of a gnat doesn't help either.
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 04:52 AM
You have photos saved onto your hard drive right? You can just open them from there.
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 04:56 AM
I don't even know what that means. Gah, I will stick to getting graphics from other people.
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 04:58 AM
awww *pats*
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 04:59 AM
No Chad no! I am not giving up that easily. So any image I want to use I need to save in "My Pictures" so I can open it? There is no Photobucket link I can use?
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 05:01 AM
Nope, just save them to My Pictures.
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 05:04 AM
Alright. For some reason when I use my 'brush' it's like just a black marker-esque thing that draws all over my picture. How might I change this?
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 05:06 AM
What are you trying to do with the brush? Brushes are usually used for effects, like the flowery ones in my banner. I wouldn't recommend using those until you get the basics down.
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 05:08 AM
Okay, right now I am tyring to scale a picture and it won't let me get it to 150x150. When I type in 150 for the width the height automatically sets at 225.
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 05:11 AM
Aha! You need to uncheck the box that will say something like 'constrain proportions' or something like that. Or actually on Gimp I think you click the little chain thing next to the boxes, so you can free-select.
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 05:13 AM
I'm going to try that and I'll let you know. Thanks so much again Dani! You're a life saver.
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 05:19 AM
No problem!
Idina*and*I
Feb 13 2008, 05:21 AM
So my picture is kind of crappy but I am having difficulty learning how to add text. Do you know how to do that?
I'mPhosphorescent
Feb 13 2008, 05:51 AM
On the toolbar there should be an A or some letter symbolizing text. You just click that.

Is there anyway you can SPICE up my currently BLAH avatar.
I love the picture, but could you add some amazing words or color to it?

Oh pleaseeee oh amazing Dani!

I will worship you like Nessa WISHES Boq did.
