GIMP is an image manipulation program. It's quite good. Many people complain about how bad it is, and that CS2 is so much better, but it's completely free! No hidden costs or anything. Ok so there are a few features it lacks, and some Plug-ins crash from time to time, but its still very useful. Heres the GIMP homepage: http://www.gimp.org/ Some things I've done on GIMP: First thing I did: That took me a few seconds. My first minisig: Other one: As you can see, they are vot very good, mainly due to the lack of features GIMP has. The ones done on Photoshop look more like this: Sigs: I'm resonbly pleased with this sig^. I followed a tutorail, but it was quite difficult since it was for a different program. I had to download some brushes from here: http://resources.deviantart.com/applications/gimpbrushes/ The grunge ones are what I used for the sig above These ones are good: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/35925380/ If you like the sig and you would like a similar one, just PM me and I might find the time to make one for you. Dont expect anything great though! New stuff: Yeah, I can do animation now! At last, I can do minisigs properly
