[MessivoKaxto]

Thanks GNH, I didnt make the 2010 background, but I made something else with the help of this tutorial. =)

[NicholasRenteria]

By the way, you made a spelling error. "I'll look at it and think (it) terrible"? You mean "it's"

[jk4bs]

Great Toot. I run Gimp 2.6.7 on Windows currently and wonder how to get my desktop in gimp same color as yours which is closer to photoshop than the boring std default colors I have? Thanks in advance

[guitarlicious]

[astwtlover]

[DavidWoodFX]

Andrew Kramer-esque, HA HA! He is one of the best!

[willman1661]

[GimpKnowHow]

@willman1661

No, thats the trial version of aftereffects, and I bought the design premium package for students, and i paid 600$ for the rest of the programs I have.

[Bowskenarts]

did u said andrew kramer asked u for making this tut? the one and only andrew kramer of video copilot!??!

[GimpKnowHow]

@Bowskenarts

No, in my intro I said Andrew Kramer-esque, as in similar to.

[Bowskenarts]

oh haha, so it was a compliment!xD

well just a question. did u use PS for making ur BG? especially the 3d text. are my expectations close that u used a 3rd party plugin like 3d inigorator? im interested in tat because im about to buy the 3d inig. any recommendations would be great.

[Bowskenarts]

i mean 3d invigorator.

[Opss56]

@GimpKnowHow Hey..... Make a new video...

[willman1661]

oh sorry of waving my gun around, keep up the great tuts btw

[MoabbCadoodle77]

On the last step, I had the 2010 over the grunge wallpaper the turned the 2010 on over lay. It looks great! Try it

[lazysammich]

good tut mate. although you should have used the other screw from sgliders tut aswell also rotate them all diferently XD

[myromance123]

Dood, you are seriously skilled :) I'd love to be able to do that stuff, keep it up :D

[kaine112233]

[dubtubjo]

excellent tutorial

[iplaysongs4u]

lol can you make a tutorial on your desktop? D: Its epic

[yosh322]

Where'd you get the font?

[ralfpatric]

u made an awsome tut for the begining of 2010 keep doing tuts like this and we're going to master gimp in no time;)

[desertboyzero]

Did you make that wallpaper? Or where did you get it? Because I want it. :D

[MissGimpHelp]

where can i get the font for the numbers ? :(

[DarkFlame7755]

You forgot the shadow for the hand on the clock...

[MrShoy]

Linux Mint is one of the best distro I saw..I feel like it's very complete :D

It isn't so terrible.. looks nice :)

[somethingschanging]

like the tutorial, was a great one!

only thing that bothered me was the 1. didn't really like the big clock, couldn't see how it would fit in. maybe it's just me being perfectionistic (studying arts, lol), maybe it's not.

anyway, still 5/5!

[DestroyTheseWalls]

ur a partner?

[DarkFlame7755]

@DestroyTheseWalls yeah, he is.

[btbxfatal]

Yea he has been for quite a while now. where have you been? lol.

[KINGV3NOM]

speaking of RWJ, he commented on my channel. ha. he also favorited one of my videos but he doesn't have them visible.

[noryb113]

nothin against ya dude

ur tuts are great

but i was just wondering

y not just drag m drop the images in?

also do u not find keyboard shortcuts easier?

again. nothin against how ya do things

[GimpKnowHow]

@noryb113

Dragging and dropping images in does not work on a mac due to X11. The only shortcuts that work on a mac are undo and redo.

[noryb113]

ah

makes sense

[xCR7KB24x]

where do u find your wallpapers?

[defect530]

no your wall paper is SICK!!!!

sooooo much depth it's crazy.

[SoadFanMick]

does any1 know when the new version of gimp is coming out?

[ykvajsnibal]

genius! :)

[WorldsOfPivot]

rays trolls sound different

[hbkfitz]

how would you make the picture go in your project in photoshop cuz it always opens as a new project -_-

[GimpKnowHow]

@hbkfitz

I know, you need to open it as a new project and copy it over.

[hbkfitz]

it still wont let me tut pl0x

[NuMetal92]

U are awesome!

[mariostar263]

[DustinDolby]

youtube partner

[nightwishftw]

@mariostar263 he's a partner

[undramrubino]

please! in full screen! thx and it looks rlly aaawesome!

[notyetasucces]

that was awesome i am definetly going to use this

[technobulldog]

Just a question, why do you cut out all of the white in the images instead of using alpha to color?

Also, nice new channel background! It looks awesome!

[sben25]

i had the same question. It's because some of the clock is white so if you did alpha to white, some of the clock would become an alpha channel.

[technobulldog]

Ok, thanks!

[GimpKnowHow]

@technobulldog

It's actually because no matter what color to alpha you do, the image becomes semi-transparent.

[technobulldog]

Oh Ok. Thanks!

[Cyberbeastproduction]

Why do you always cut things to delete them? Whats wrong with the good old delete button?

[EZPZLEMONSKWEEZE]

The delete button doesn't work for him.

[NuMetal92]

neither for me! :(

[GimpKnowHow]

@EZPZLEMONSKWEEZE

:D

[Cyberbeastproduction]

Oh its because you use a mac. Epic con for macs. Macs for the loss.

[DeSmurfen125]

Thank you so much an awesome 2010 Steampunk Wallpaper!! <33 it!!!
