do you know the pixels between each different photo?

[aaronlsilber]

@ExponentToaster yup, looks like 20 pixels between the profile images and the first photostream image, and 1 pixel between each photostream image.

Seriously i have no clue what you did when trying to use gimp.

Im compltely lost at the moment haha

its sorta hard.

@Depressionist2008 I won't disagree with you. I'm using Photoshop in this video, and if you have no experience using Photoshop, then I can see how you may have trouble following along. There may be an online service for this now (or a better tutorial), so look around. I'm sure you'll find an easier way to accomplish this. Good luck!

sweet thanks

@brainsoupz unfortunately, you need a high resolution image to really pull this off. You could, however, scale a smaller image to the correct size, although the resulting image will have lost significant quality.
