[intelX1000]

eeeepiiiic. SHOOOP DA WOOP!!!!!!

[jaehee321]

Which type of gimp are you using? I use snow leopard and yours looks kinda different

[okitslol12]

@jaehee321 gimp 2.6. are u using gimp 1.6??? (bro said theres a gimp 1.6)

[DJREMIXkc]

Dude can you like save that gradiant and post it somwhere so i can download it?

[guitardude13211]

I'm having trouble when you make the second gradient and set it to "overlay", when I set it to overlay nothing happens

[blackzt3r]

how u made background at 0:01 it looked awesome...

[zeldafreak1312]

Another way to color this is by flattening the image, picking the gradient you want and going to Color > Map > Gradient Map. It looks awesome!

[Thenightreaper2]

dang i was watching ur videos now...and now ur voice is major deep XD

[themajesticgoat]

Great tutorial, such a simple concept works really well!

[BrothaRonExon]

Wow, a tutorial for using graidents. Nice work.

[strpure2833]

most comps i know are 1280 by 800...

[rodatv]

can you show how to create your title sequence? do you use livetype?

[RyanScfc1]

Your advice is nice, but you should work on your presentation.

For example, you should regularly display your full screen, to show viewers more of your image as an example of how it should turn out. Also, at the beginning, after your title, you should show the final image, to show users what the tutorial aims to teach you, as well as showing it at the end, showing the final product.

Just a few pointers there.

[maxfire101]

wow Great Tutorial!! Im Learning how to use gimp and i wanna know how to make some cool Stuff cuz i find GImp Hard , I use photoshop More Really... And Yea Awesome Dude i Rate 5 Stars

[axxaxaxx]

if you change the last gradient you do to color it from linear to radial it looks quite good

[GimpTutorials97]

Hey, at the end where there are many different layer modes you could do, have you tried burn? Burn looks the best imo.

Anyway, great tutorial! Really simple, yet outstanding.

[GEAfilm]

There is an easier way to get the same crystal effect. Yours still is good just a little hard for begineers.

[ecuadoriaantje]

Thanks a lot. It helps me with making a nice backround!!!

[MeRiiiify]

do you know how i can change that into jpg?

[Joshyboy110]

@MeRiiiify  when your saving it just type (name).jpg

[xBlokeoxDibujosx]

[Ziros2005]

hello mate, your tutorials are fantastic but i will be more better if the people can your full display. cheers

[toontownbigcheese]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[somethingschanging]

[lupiez77]

REQUEST:

[MasterTI321]

Hey sweet vid bro but theres somthin i wanna know:

what screen recorder are you using... like... its so smooth xD message me were to get to mate :P

Ps: Rated 5 and subscribed :-)

[GimpKnowHow]

@MasterTI321

It's iShowU HD set on feather movement.

[Joehop777]

@GimpKnowHow Is there any way to get iShowU for pc's? If not can you recomend something else? (I have windows vista)

[SuperSneakyPanda]

what filetype should i save it as for best resolution?

[doghouse144]

use jpeg, it will tell you that it must be flattened. click export and set quality to 100. then click ok

[lazysammich]

nice tut, but instead of making all the overlay layers at the begining you can just use one layer and set the gradient tool to overlay ;)

[Fowtowsjop]

fucking shit this is hard cuz err LOL i have the Dutch gimp :( and u got english so i gotta take an xtra look :P

[Retruyomyl5]

Get GTK 2. 0 and you can switchto english,spanish,french,etc

[Juustonharmaa]

subbed

[molliebabs]

What age are you? Hope your gonna work in Graphic Design or something or it will be a waste of a great talent!!

Didn't think I'd be doing anything like this since I have only been using Gimp for a very short time you explain everything really well keep the tutorials coming!!

[yFranzie]

awesome simple effect man <3 I rated 5/5 and subbed.

[a1boogie]

[GimpKnowHow]

Save it as a YOURFILENAMEHERE.jpg or .png

[ikkyblob]

Your brilliant :]

[mike1992123]

this is a pretty amazing tutorial, it is so simple, yet i can produce such wonderful things.

[mike1992123]

the 'i' is supposed to be 'it'

[CR1ST1AN360]

thanks man my backround is friken awsome could you make a video where you edit pictures like a picture of my little sister in like the milkey way galaxy star

[WhyBeYOUfilms]

i made one how do u set as ur wallpaper

[guitargeek876]

save as whatever .jpg, so for example:

crystalintense.jpg

then just right click then set as desltop background

[bamafan954]

a nice sugggestion would be to zoom out at the end of the vid. and show what it looks like. your tutorials are amazing just thought it wud be nice to see what u make in the end

[crossinto]

It won't overlay.  I don't know what I'm dong.

[GimpKnowHow]

Even if you set the layer mode on overlay?

[crossinto]

Yes. I do the second layer, then switch the mode to overlay and nothing happens.

[hell858]

Whats the song in your intro called?

[mvinaround]

@GimpKnowHow yes its not overlaying!!!!

[supermariomano]

@GimpKnowHow Same for me, I've set it on overlay as well, and it still doesn't work. I have to do it all on the same layer.

[supermariomano]

@supermariomano EDIT: Nevermind, I was setting the gradient mode to overlay instead of the layer mode. Crossinto, are you setting the LAYER mode to overlay or the GRADIENT mode? Same problem I had until I looked closer.

[huntsman5995]

really cool I love your vids !!

[WagglyGooberFilms]

what do you use to capture your videos? its really smooth

[Juan372]

Thanks! It really made my background look crystally. ;D

[pivotpcproductions]

How can you find your monitor size?!

[thithimimi]

right-click on your wallpaper were an icon is not click properties click settings it should say there

[xSilentWalrusx]

What about on a mac?

My school uses macs and i can't figure it out.

[thithimimi]

what? whatcha mean?

[xSilentWalrusx]

[thithimimi]

I'm not sure i don't have one.

[bamafan954]

wow lucky ur school uses macs

[daeheadshot]

GKH:

This reminds me of something i did like 5 months ago. i think you saw it on your site. my username is HelgeSverre, and i made something in this "style"(the lines all over) but with white background and blue lines. so.. yeah :P cool if you figure that on your own :)

[GimpKnowHow]

My website wasn't around 5 months ago...

Nope. I made this completely from my head, the first time I made it, I was on the computer in band instead of practicing /=.

[YootuberStef]

what instrument do you play? I play drums

[xManiac503x]

What that has to do with this?

[YootuberStef]

nothing. I just wanted to no so u got a problem wit that?

[LukeTudor1994]

Hey, umm when i try and change the deep sea background it always stays the same and doesnt change to color or anything. help?

thanks

[Juan372]

Don't you have to lower to opacity or something?

[RandLeproductions]

Hey i really like your intro, what program you use

[GimpKnowHow]

iMovie.

[manofcomputer]

hey i just downloaded gimp today i got the 2.5.6 or something version and that box that you use to choose color and form and all the stuff instead it says somethin like "drag and drop something here" but nothing drags or drops it sucks...

[GimpKnowHow]

2.5 is unstable. Get gimp 2.6.

[FuryKill]

Thx for the vid! Helped out alot!

[martijnpc]

nice intro!

[GimpKnowHow]

Thanks. Really easy on iMovie.

[Lamborghini64]

You are a legend, I used to use Gimp before I got my Photoshop licence but I am going back. Also, end result reminds me of the Windows Vista default wallpaper. How old are you? (dw I'm just wondering..im 14)

[Leon5k]

Very nice tutorial.

Gonna try it out and see how my end result is xD

[VelinoRubik]

Great Tutorial! I love the idea and I like the new intro! (: Great Job!
