Well I don't have many tips you could ask jenny. Or Anna because Anna showed me how to animate. Oh while I was playing around on GIMP yesterday I found some cool effects you might want me to show you!

LOL I replied to your PM. xD
GIMP is really complicated, but once you get the hang of it, it'll all pay off, somehow...

Hmm. Just try exploring the program. You should get it soon. I know there is a lot of new and different phrases, like dialogs and channels, but ignore those. xD Dialogs are just those seperate windows that open every time you try a new tool or something. Just ignore channels completely now.

Study each tool, and just guess what they do. The main problem I had was the select tool. I was used to Paint, and when you selected something, you could move it by clicking and dragging the selection. In GIMP, you have to select it with a select tool, cut and paste it, then use the Move tool to move it.

Anyways, I hope that helped

Jenny is the GIMP queen She showed me those confusing guides. I took 2 hours studying them over 5 times and reading them like 20 times. I got REALLY good and like figured everything out about a month later. It gets REALLY fun when you get used to it If you want I can PM you on how to animate things (: (i just learned how LOL)

GIMP! <3

1. Layers = Gooood! (Dialogs>Layers)
2. Background layer won't be transparent unless you change this in the beginning or right click on the layer and click "Add Alpha Channel." All other channels are confusing to me.

Um, that's all I can think of. I mostly play around.
