Tutorials all over the internet sonny.

Just look around you will find something.

Once GIMP is opened...

At the top left of GIMP, click File. Then Click New.

A new window should pop up.

This is where you put the in the size. Now my usual size is 350X125, (350 on top, 125 on bottom) but you can do any size that you want. Ok, moving on.

A New window should now pop up. This will be where you make your sigs.

You have many options on GIMP's main. Which is where all your tools are located.

To access brushes, look for the symbol of a brush. To use gradeints, look for the symbol of a square box thats black & white.

There are also filters... Look for them on the window you create your sigs on. Its at the top of the window.

Go to Deviant Art to download some brushes.

To get brushes into GIMP do the following.

Right Click GIMP,
Go to properties,
Click Find Target
Find GIMP 2.0, (Should be at the left side somewhere)
Then Click Share
Then GIMP
Then 2.0
Then brushes...

Then open the file your downloaded brushes are in, and drag the over to that folder.

Hope this helps, Good luck.

is this the place where click that file thing or what? cuz i'm sort of confused

Quick question to the ppl that make the sigs around here, what programs to you guys use? and whats the best one to make sigs in?.

I use Photoshop, and i dont think there is any question that its the best programme for making signatures.

GIMP is the best free one, however one way or another All things are free if its on a computer right

Gracious, I was actually hoping that you would be the one to answer my question.

You click file on the long menu that first comes up.


PhotoShop is the best program...

sorry i'm just really confused. could you show the page where i need to be and where that file thing is?

This confused me as well

You need to download two programs, GTK+ and GIMP installers from the site.

After you download them, install both programs, you need to install one and then the other, but I don't remember which you install first, I think it was GTK+.

how do i like save the sig or put it into to photobucket?

gimptalk.com

all u'll ever need/ need to know

is making an avatar the same way but just changing th size to 75x75? EDIT: also how do you move the pics in the sig and put the background behind the pics. cuz i have the pics cut out but when i put the pics on the sig it has the pic and the white background taking out the one i want. also i can't move the pics around. when i try to the color thing comes up for that picture

every time i try to save the sig it doesn't work, i try to save it in evry file i have and i've even created a file but it keeps saying unknown file type. can someone help me?

Use the move tool, thats on the top right corner of all the other tools.

yeah i figured that out eventually. could someone pleas help with the other ones?

My bad.

Dragonblade, forgive me for what i'm about to say.

It appears to me you don't know how to use a computer. Barely even use the internet. I'm sorry but dude! You need to get your shit together.

this is my first using gimp arctic so back off! and prodigy004 its okay man

Dragonblade, you didnt even make that sig ......didnt someone else make that for you....all you did was change the colour !

i never said i made that, i said this is my first time using gimp. i never said i made it. anyway i finally made my first SIG AND AVATAR!! what do you think of them?

Dude, if that's plagerism, you're fuckin screwed. I almost got kicked off for it(er, more like making a piece of work that looked too much like the original) but CrispyDragon made a few "suggestions" to what I do, so I'm not banned.

Idk, I just noticed your sig with Master Chief now, if that's the sig Skinsley was talking about.

For the current one, I am sorry to say it's pretty bad.

The Master Chief render is horribly pixelated and the background is sort of repetetive.

My advice is to take some tutorials on making sigs on GIMP- follow Kamionero's link. I remember searching for tutorials and the site came into the search results. It has some nice tuts though I never use them.

I gave you a good render.....how did you manage to make it look pixelated.....the quality is terrible on the whole sig.

The lightning is just the same few bolts coppied and pasted.

Tuts are your friend....all over the internet!!

alright how about this sig? iknow its the same background just a different color but i like that background. anyway how about these?
