1) I save it as png. then when I upload it, it become an xcf. file. That never happened to me before.
2) The size was 500x200, I bet that wasn't too big.

No Sophie, I mean sometimes, GIMP makes photo into xcf. And I can't upload it, but sometimes I can. Is it a glitch, or it's really like thaat?

by file size, i didn't mean the width/height of the image, i meant bytes.

.xcf is the GIMP file, just like .psd is the photoshop file. try opening it and saving it again as a .png.

Are you sure that you pasted them on your brush folder?

Well, Sophie, I am able to help you!
Have you put .png on the end on your photo's file name before saving it?
If you didn't, your photo will really turn into .xcf

But if what you did is animation, be sure to put .gif on the end of ur photo's file name.

How-To make an Avatar in GIMP

Hello Graphical Fairies, today I will show you how to do an avatar.

Anna ask me how to do it, but it random like siggy, trust me ;]

New Picture!:

1. Go to "File"
2. Click "New"
3. Enter the W&L
4. Click "Ok"

Select Text!:

1. Now, click the "A" icon
2. Choose any type of text
3. Write them down in the box

Brushes Effect!:

1. Go to the brushes
...and on and on (Tired of typing)

Save it like you always do and done! I know, so random!

And a secret:
1. Go to brushes
2. Go above and you will see "Normal"
3. Change any type of it and do some effect

Save it and done!

Lilac, you can always search for a tutorial online, there's bound to be one that explains each of the tools briefly.
I do recall recently seeing a link to a GIMP guide in TTC - maybe that will help.
I am not sure on what the differences are between computers, so I'm afraid I won't be of much help there, sorry Cupcake.

PS. Opening an image on GIMP and trying out all the different tools always helps. That is how I found out how to use most of the tools. ^^
