[JohnThePanpire]

Thanks, great vid

[eisnil]

hah, and to think it was as simple as selecting different parts and changing the threshold separately on the same pic, you have no idea how much time i spent screwing around with this, wish i woulda thought of just selecting the separate parts, thanks for the vid.

[FunRaflin]

[mikeklein216]

Hay great vid was the first picture daniel day lewis from there will be blood? And is the gimp the program you used for it, if so is it free to download

[roblrocks]

thanx pal just got this gimp program you were a real time saver

[moporama]

What do you use to delete the section you just ran over with the lasso tool? I'm kinda stuck lol

[xFL1PPYx]

@moporama The 'Delete' key on your keyboard.

[PuffSmelly]

what could i use if im on mac

[zwotb]

@PuffSmelly - You can run GIMP on Mac OS X just fine ; go to gimp dot lisanet dot de and follow the download links (you can also reach the same conclusion by going to the GIMP website and going to the Download page, and 'Show other downloads' and it will lead you to the same site with DMG installers for various versions of Mac OS X. ).

[checlaudia]

how can i remove the backround when i use the lasso? do i double click and it goes away? help!

[Emxicey1]

That's what the lasso is for, lol, I'm such a sped. Great Video, definitely thumbs up and I'm definitely going to favorite this for later.

[ceramicraindrop]

Gaussian Blur also seems to be helpful for grafitti and messy blocky stencils

[camilleSYoung]

I have a teenager who's seriously into various types of tees. I've been searching the net for new and different things to make for her and your video was great. Thanks for sharing. I'm new to this so if I ask I silly question please don't be offended. What type of spray do you use? One person just regular spray paint, another said adhesive spray then fabric spray. I'm just trying to get it right. Thanks!

[2sexxyfaya]

[2sexxyfaya]

[gsneha]

Nice one! Simple...n... Short!

[SUCKIT69231]

simple & well explained

nice tutorial:)

Gimp is way easier to figure out then photoshop!

[trb4242]

what I do is go to filters art photocopy

I play around with this till it looks like a stiencil

then go to threshhole and this will if done right give you a nice clean stencil

give it a try you can keep more detail this way

[BrielJackson]

lol its funny how your voice does get sicker as you talk "yea i no i laugh at the dumbest stuff"

[b4rBarO55a]

[devilduck10]

[dorkaborka88]

[bigdawg8970]

Dude really good video, it helped a lot thanks!

[BeatBoXer009]

NICE TNX!!!!! =D

[yuzemit1]

mercie :-)

[odiwan74]

Nice tutorial! Well explained and straightforward. If you want to save some ink, use the eraser as a big circle and chop out some of the areas of "dead" black. Big circles are nice and obvious to avoid when you are cutting the actual stencil, and a couple of minutes carefully using the eraser, you will get a TON more prints per ink cartidge.

[stivvyjoe]

nice tip

thanks

[nubcorn]

@odiwan74 What I do is I shrink the image (select: shrink) by 1 pixel, then I color everything white. What's left is the out line of everything you wish to cut out. It's easy, because it's basically telling you where to cut, and saves WAY more ink. I hope that helps!

[FreeFallingCats]

@odiwan74 Or get a laser printer.

[becca9483]
