I know I'll sound stupid but... Does it matter which layer is on top and which layer is on the bottom? Great tutorials

[monsoonami]

@ussmidget yes it matters

You're the man! Your tut's are fresh and unique!

I hope you won't get mad at me, if I call you the king of TEXT! I am a GIMP power user, yet you're teaching me so many new things... Not that I'm limiting your knowledge to text. Generally speaking you da man... You've upped my background knowledge as well...

Can you share with us a tut on photo-manipulation? That would be great!

Take care, and thank you for your great vids!

BR,

Kimo

[monsoonami]

@kimo921 Wow, thanks!

I actually don't do a lot of photo-manipulation, but I'm sure I'll get to a tutorial on that eventually.

I'd like to see the glassy text video. Thanks, the background is really cool too.

[monsoonami]

@brandonppl Okay, I'll try to make a glassy text tutorial when I get a chance.

If you flip it vertically (upside down) then it looks much better. Maybe it's just me, but it looks like it is dripping up

VERY GOOD TUTORIAL. EASY TO LEARN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[FreeKingdom29]

Cool tip!

The reason why I like your tutorials so much is not only because of your end result (which looks great), but I learn about the filters you are using, and I can apply them to other things.
