[AbuYazeedUK]

[jusspoiss6]

Just wondering but how do you get the ''Tool Options-Layers,Channels,...'' thing.

I want to add the pattern like you had but right now I am clueless.

[monsoonami]

@jusspoiss6 Look in the Windows > Dockable Dialogs menu

[jusspoiss6]

@monsoonami Well I have tried every tool there and non of them make it like yours(I am bad at GIMP:P)

Maybe you could make a tutorial on how to make it like that?

[SuperGimpTube]

[MrGeorgieBoy125]

This is great, i made one myself and you are the one person who does not mention "Subscribe" and like. Thumbs Up from me

[Raiybeezy]

[CubanonOfficial]

you are the man lol thanks



[DrummerElliott]

Awesome. Liked the way you talked; slowly and very clearly. Thanks! Great tutorial for beginners like me.

[andreas7078]

@monsoonami great tutorial, with great quality, what microfone are you using?

[BukshD]

I dont normally add comments.. or like videos.. but ive just followed your tutorial (completely easy to follow) and thought you deserved a +1. great tutorial and awesome final effect! 10 out of 10! thanks!

[monsoonami]

@NoNamedGamersx3 I believe keyboards have a key that says "Delete." On my laptop it's near "Insert," "Prnt Scrn," "Home," and "Page Up." However, if you keyboard doesn't have it, you can just go to Edit > Clear.

[Jizzpantss]

I dont see the button for a new layer.

[1SOADBITCH]

is there a way to get a background effect from the internet, and add about three to four pictures to the backround.

[Sve567]

that's awesome!

[nelworksbizz]

You Rule !! Thanks for making it so simple and easy to follow. :)

[OBGaming1]

i love this affect

[FilmDestroyer]

hey guys i just wanna share what i discover , hate the new youtube layout ? watch this tutorial to get back your old layout design watch?v=7jwoCDgrwEY

[FilmDestroyer]

pls help where i can find that tab ? besides the tool box , with patterns . layers plss 

[FilmDestroyer]

hey dude thank you so much , but it sounds like in your a hospital ? hehe

[mmaste13]

This is by far one of the best tutorials on youtube for Gimp. Thank you sir!

[zzaauull11]

funcionaaa.....

[TheJcobbz]

thank you so much man

[MCProductz]

Gimp 2 Is freakin hard to use

[MsTroubleshooting]

THANK YOU I WISH ALL TUTORIAL WERE THIS GOOD

[monsoonami]

@ZakariaDesigns I don't use Photoshop, but I believe so. If you have Photoshop, why don't you try it and let me know how it goes?

[JoshuaBates01]

@monsoonami, I just saw your comment and thought I'd do some education.

I have Photoshop (for years) and gimp (got it today.) Gimp is actually ridiculously close to photoshop (like almost all the tools are the exact same) but photoshop is more complicated because it gives you a bit more options. Of course, photoshop is hundreds of dollars to buy, too.

I'll definitely be looking into gimp to see if it can do anything easier than photoshop?

Can you suggest good gimp tutorials?

[frydo32]

@monsoonami Dude thanks so much, with this and your Beveling Tutorial i made this for my GF gyazo. com/4f7eb1ad7b3b731d90a7b3b631­af1208

[Rucci74]

@monsoonami amazing video,man! grats!

[YamAndrewNikka]

what version is this ?????

[likes2laff30]

really nice. just made it and set as a wall paper.

i also like you "Makoto counts to ten" video from deviant art, very funny.

trying the "glossy button" next then, "shiny rainbow text" then, " chrome beveled text."

[billhein0401]

This guy speaks to you softly, like Bob Ross.

[mokhtarmoussa]

perfect thank you very much!

[xXBeastyDrewXx]

Okay, When I tried to do the new layer part and put a pattern on. I did soft light and everything, But it just dosn't go see through. It just shows the layer I just put on it. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME??

[DaViesMediaDesign]

@xXBeastyDrewXx Did you turn down the opacity of the layer? And did you make sure to put the pattern on a separate layer as the backgound?

[xXBeastyDrewXx]

@DaViesMediaDesign Yeah. But it still didn't work.

[DaViesMediaDesign]

@xXBeastyDrewXx Hmm.. maybe the layer needs to be assigned an Alpha Channel

[xXBeastyDrewXx]

@DaViesMediaDesign idk..

[MissElanyS]

The one thing I love about your tutorials is that you go nice and slow, you don't assume that people already know everything that you do and you spend some time explaining the why's and not just the hows. Good job.

[005Studios]

Hey i saw this on the sidebar. Remember GKH forums? i miss those days.

[monsoonami]

@NextLevalTrickshots Please read the description.

[black4083]

Nice job thank you!

[norvman]

Hey this was great... I use to do this all the time in Photoshop but haven't done it in Gimp... got me down the road a long wayz... thanks!

[roky148]

thx i made my own wallpaper ^^ this is proffesional and easy thx again! :D

[coolyann10]

how do i download the pattern to gimp?plz reply

[MyNameIsDrewbi]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

[kukuhtrisnapambudi]

Thanks :)

[PGReviews]

Really, really cool!! Thank you!

[TheRikixxx]

i dont have offset tiles



[monsoonami]

@TheRikixxx Please read the annotation at 0:54

[MrAllAroundAwsome]

@monsoonami After I add the text, there's a yello box around it. Is there an easy way to make that go away? Select none doesn't work.

[monsoonami]

@MrAllAroundAwsome That's not actually part of the image. It just appears when your text layer is selected to show you the boundary of the layer. You can hide it if you wish (as I've done) by going to View > Show Layer Boundary.

[CombineSpecre300]

This is an Expert at work here. Nice!

[xpavehawk]

amazing



[alinursache]

cool :D

[mccranky2]

thank you :D

[stuntidiotz]

[coolboy1997x]

[coolboy1997x]

[PrOsEmIh]

mine looks retarded

[TheRealChiliblossom]

I did it! Thank you so much! Very helpful and well explained.

[TheGsmHero]

my layer-toolbox keeps disappering. what should i do? :'(

[monsoonami]

@TheGsmHero You can recover them in the Windows > Dockable Dialogs menu.

[m71k]

@TheGsmHero You can also hit the tab key or use the single window mode in Gimp 2.7.3

[SCRIZZOZ]

THANK U THANK U I WILL SUB TO U

[je3f0o]

[ChelseaLois1996]

[radcliffexer]

Cool Video~Subscribed

[radcliffexer]

The good Part is you Can Still Change The Pattern Of The Background!!!

[wushufus]

cool man mon amis ;)

[epikwombat]

my computer wont let me pattern fill, when i press on the layer to fill it just stays the same, ive done everything you have done in your video?

[TheEvOComunity]

when I add my pattern and then put it on soft light and 60 opacity whilst selection the new layer it still doesn't do what it does for yours. what should i do

[98Laurent]

@TheEvOComunity

You see when you select soft light you do it on the bit which is the bit where you add layers and so on not on the bit he is doing it aight?? so on the bit where your layer and background are kk??

[animationbubble99]

amazing tutorial but you need to slow down.

[shameekaleel]

Good tutorial.. Thanks

[MrKabelmaus]

Can i use these Patterns for Photoshop ,too?

[xXxKingsxXx46]

thanks i am using this for my youtube starting for my new channel cause i do black ops/call of duty and minecraft tutorials

[xXSkinnyMeXx]

i have a question how can i upload it to my facebook? cause i wanna show it to my friends

[monsoonami]

@xXSkinnyMeXx Just save your image with a .jpg or .png extension and upload it.

[xXSkinnyMeXx]

@monsoonami where can i find a extension? is that downloadable?

[monsoonami]

@xXSkinnyMeXx No, you just type ".jpg" or ".png" at the end of your filename when you save the image.

[xXSkinnyMeXx]

@monsoonami aiight! thanks! btw your tutorial helped me alot! :)

[NexuhHD]

@monsoonami i cant seem to get the pattern and font on GIMP 2.6

[NexuhHD]

@NexuhHD ive got the pattern on gimp but not the font can you help me or what other fonts can i use that look good ?

[monsoonami]

@NexuhHD You should be able to use pretty much any font. For example, something simple like "Arial" would probably work great.

[MyTattooedBowlsack]

@xXSkinnyMeXx LoL I had that same problem.

[xXSkinnyMeXx]

@MyTattooedBowlsack I fixed mine 3 days ago

[TheJul1234]

i can't make the shiny effect, it doesn't work :(

[11myedu]

Why my computer fails when i try to do this?

[jeroo1245]

Download GIMP for windows here ->

wired-web.webuda.com

[SemperSAB]

hey when i change my layers opacity and mode its still stays the same and i click the layer again just to make sure i have it selected and it wont work any ideas?

[monsoonami]

@SemperSAB Which part are you talking about?

[SemperSAB]

@monsoonami at minute 1:10 when you say to change the opacity and mode mine doesnt work it still stays the same

[monsoonami]

@SemperSAB Make sure you're changing the Mode and Opacity in the Layers dialog box, NOT in the Tool Options dialog box. (There is an annotation at 1:15 indicating this.)

[FailsandTales]

Dude this is sooooo useful i've been trying to make cool text for ages and it was already right under my nose.

[firelaker]

Thank you!!

[TransientNoise]

Fantastic tutorial. Worked the first time. You have a talent for this. Please keep making tutorials.

[AHxCode]

2:24 NO IT DOESN'T :(

[lRlHlElI]

To see your layers press Ctrl + L

[0097King]

looks great

[monsoonami]

@MegaTwatter Look for "Layers" and "Tool Options" in the Windows > Dockable Dialogs menu.  They should be open by default, but you probably closed them by accident at some point.

[stevenaschoff]

Man, this is one of the best tutorials I've seen that demonstrates the power of GIMP! Nice job!

[lorenz096]

The Master! Great!!

[teoricaolive]

Thank you very much! Perfect!!

[palleq96]

nice !!

[ThePauhe]

What key is the delete key?

[monsoonami]

@ThePauhe There's a key on my keyboard (and most keyboards, I think) which says "Delete."  It's located near Insert, Home, and End. However, you can also just go to Edit > Clear if you don't want to use the keyboard shortcut.

[543joe]

Just realised there is so much I don't know about GIMP

Excellent tutorial
