I have a few questions I don't really understand so I was hoping some of you could answer and teach me.

1. How do you guys do the path/stroke/text thingy? E.g at kevin's sig made by Meta etc.

Thank you.

1:) i dunno i use photoshop
2:) .png is the best save cause it can save it with less worry for data loss.
3:) Practise practise and more practise :D
I'd only use gimp for Mods if u want photoshop just u one of the
portables. just google it (photoshop portable download)
Or u can do what i did and pay $300+ for non portable one.
doesnt matter.

Lmao. I originally wanted to use PS. When I logged into the website and found out that it costs money, I turned to GIMP for help instead.

you guys know that phostoshop can be cracked...right? why spend money if you can crack it in 1minute...?

Meta

Virus and Hawk, this isn't a thread about photoshop so don't spam about it.

Tanqq, the sig I made for kev is called vector sigs. If you want I can send you some tuts I used when I was a beginner. But I'm at school atm s I can't send you any sites until I get home.
I also can't answer your questions but I bet iri or davey can since they use gimp better than I do.

Sure! I could use some more beginner tutorials on Vector. I seen some on gimptalk but it is for advanced and skilled GFX'ers.

Well...uhm....

The first question is almost like making a path using a stroke path in the middle of the sig( not border). The problem is I forgot how to make the path. I did it once and I totally forgot about it.

Well the second question is obvious I think...

Third question is a vector sig according to Meta. I never tried that style before and I am eager to learn it. I could use some tut sites but the only site I know is gimptalk now :-\

1. Make two lines, make text small enough to fit on the lines, rotate to fit on lines.
2. .png
3. Don't oversharpen

Thanks for helping.

Btw on the first question I was asking how to make the paths into solid colors.



Iridion

click that:
http://www.eons.com/images/members/2009/2/18/6/6/66168943215803468610_610w.jpeg

click two times outside of the sig border to make a line that follows the flow (meta did a horrible job honestly)

then click on"stroke path"

format is png and for vector look for tuts on gimptalk. better make an account there and be active

Isn't that for making the border?

Is this how it goes?
Choose Color -> Paths -> Made a Path -> Stroke Path -> Done?
