Is GIMP any different to Photoshop?

After you download brushes where do you copy them to?

After you download brushes where do you copy them to? You should have a GIMP folder that contains a folder called brushes. Make sure you extract all of the brushes first.

It's really annoying, with 2.6.3 with a mac you can't add brushes, I found the folders, they where all empty, added in the brushes, nothing.

You can set another path for brushes. I forgot how but it's in there somewhere >.>

I was going to use Gimp. But it's so **** confusing... Everything looks so complicated, photoshop is so clean and simple.

I was going to use Gimp. But it's so **** confusing... Everything looks so complicated, photoshop is so clean and simple. And also costs ?2,000. In other news, I just downloaded GIMP I'm just fooling around with it for now, seeing what I come up with...

Let's keep this on-topic, say your goodbyes in the Spam Can. I stopped using GIMP a few months ago. Pretty much every signature in my album here was made in GIMP.

Is GIMP better than photoshop for making sigs? No.... That is why I have decided to get Photoshop CS4 tommorrow.

Cool, i have as i said, all the adobe programs, but they are CS2...

No.... That is why I have decided to get Photoshop CS4 tommorrow. Good luck with that mate. I use CS3 myself, but that's because I am already familiar with it.

Is there a way to merge layers? Yes right click the top layer of the 2 you want to merge and then press "merge down"

^_^ Prepare for another nooby question... This question is so nooby that I will have to put it in spoiler tags, otherwise you'll become infected by the noobiness! How do you change the colour of a brush?

2009-01-05 10:34:00 Author: Unknown User

---

Click the box under the buttons, should be directly under the burn tool (black magnifying glass)

2009-01-05 10:36:00 Author: Boomy Posts: 3701

---

Choose another color on the color pad... (you know how to do that?) Anyway if that doesn't work (wich can happen if the default color of the brush is black) then Just brush on the layer you want, and then go to colors>colorize Let's hope i helped EDIT: Boomy was first

Yeah, it's two eyes and a sun. It's dark because of my PSN, SilentPredator. It's easier to be silent in the dark. It's my first effort with GIMP anyway, it's not going to be a masterpiece

Hey, anyone know where I can dowload a "blood splatter" brush?

2009-01-05 14:58:00 Author: Unknown User

Yeah I don't really know but you should just search for "Gimp brushes splatter" on google. I always do this when i need brushes. I don't know a good site for Gimp brushes though

Hey, anyone know where I can dowload a "blood splatter" brush? Why? Are you gonna make something that's going to make me fear your sig?

Why? Are you gonna make something that's going to make me fear your sig? I got splatters too in my sig and if it's red it would be blood... Are you afraid now? :arg:

I'm done a new one! 1 sec...

2009-01-05 17:38:00 Author: Sage Posts: 2068

---

Its not, I tried :l Ok even if you tried, i'm gonna explain it step by step (I just want you to be able to use brushes because they're cool :arg - Download a Gimp brush ( Although i think gimp brushes should work too) -Open the file and look for .gbr, .vbr or .gih file -Grab the file(s) and put them/it in Crogram FilesGIMP-2.0sharegimp2.0brushes Then: If you're already in Gimp If you're already in Gimp your list of brushes needs to be refreshed: -Get the brush tool -Click the square which shows your current brush ( a small sub menu will appear) -Then click the bottom right button "open brush dialogue" - Now click the bottom right button with the 2 bleu arrows. Now this could take a while... just be patient. Or... You could just restart Gimp <_> If you're not in Gimp And if you're not in Gimp, just start Gimp, And your brushes will be (if you done right) there, and ready to use. (duh...!!!)

At the moment, I'm using paint.net, it's not quite as powerful as the GIMP or Photoshop, but it's quick and easy, and great for pixel art.

yeah and now i know how to get brushes do i have to search Gimp brushes or just brushes. and will photoshop brushes be compatible! Sorry man, no lol. I have tried! Well I tried a long time ago. Oh, also guys, when you add a brush to GIMP, make sure you refresh the brush set (In gimp). A lot of people dont realise that. I have been using GIMP for about a year. Well I was, then I switched to photoshop. Now my photoshop has died and well, I'm fine with gimp right now. My sig (Current) is made in gimp. When you transfer from either it usually looks complicated, but you just need time to get used to it. Even though I prefer photoshop, I have NO PROBLEM using gimp for the time being.

yeah and now i know how to get brushes do i have to search Gimp brushes or just brushes. and will photoshop brushes be compatible! Photoshop brushes are not compatible, however you can convert them. It's more complicated then it's worth though really. You can find all sorts of GIMP brushes on deviantart.

Some times I need to jump on her computer and fix something up, and every time I open up PS I express the exact same sentiments as you did regarding GIMP ; ) I guess it just depends on which one you get your hands on first...

:o will take some time to get used to it though, but good luck anyway, I'm sure you'll pump out some impressive things. I use it myself too and sometimes I still forget how some things work.. I'd recommend downloading and installing the Luce filter, btw. It's great for some (easy) lightning effects. You can find it here. (http://amicoperry.altervista.org/luce/index.html)
