you're not... dont worry

tigers, again, im not familiar with gimp, but maybe you could search gimp's help section for the term "opacity". In photoshop there is both a "fill" percentage and an "opacity" percentage... i believe that opacity is a standard term... just try it.. also, you may want to look into adding a simple border (1-2 pix, black) to your sigs... that term is usually "stroke". a simple border reallly adds a lot... just search those terms in the help section

please read posts first... i said UNDERSTANDABLE grammar. i choose not to capitalize and punctuate by the book, but i do so in a manner that it does not detract from the meaning of my posts. if you look back at tigers' recent posts, you'll find that they have frequently had run ons, lacked spaces, or crazy typos.... im not being critical, but its just hard to understand what he's saying and what he needs clarification on, and if you want help, i cant help you if i dont understand you... does that make sense friedman?

good... it looks like you figured it out tigers! nice for your first time!

yea.... he is... he's spent way more time than me... lol.... so many ppl here are quick to criticize but very few will help...

here you go tigers, i dont really know any better way of explaining it, so i copied bama's tutorial again for you at the relevant part... this is after you use the scissors to select him.. you have to create a new image and copy the selected part... try re-reading it again and see if it makes any more sense now... also, im not a gimp user so im sort of at a disadvantage here... but since friedman is wasting his time "owning" me instead of helping, theres not much i can do if bama's not around... Now cut or copy the selection (Ctrl+X or Ctrl+C) Now, click file, new, you will see a dialog box. View all the options and select a transparent background. Do not worry about the size, GIMP will automatically generate the correct size: Now paste your image: Next, click Layer and select "Anchor Layer'' to make your image 1 layer.

i dont know what the heck your talking about, but okay. I dont know what the heck i did to you friedman, but you always have it out for me...

no, ask all the questions you want... we are happy to help, but you're much more likely to get a more helpful response if you're patient, polite, and type in understandable english/grammar... did you figure it out yet?

you probably didnt copy the layer, you copied the picture... you should only copy the layer... and for gods sake, be patient and dont bump your post... you've been extrememly fortunate that bama and i have been replying every thirty seconds to your posts... we do have lives... if no one answers after 2-3 days, then you can POLITELY ask someone to answer your question

lol y4l, my girlfriend is terrible with directions, and its not that shes too dumb to figure it out... she just doesnt care... she wants to be lost... which i cannot understand at all... im totally the opposite... ive always got to know where i am, where im going, and how im getting there... and she doesnt even care... and what sucks is i have to drive all the time cause she knows how to get to like.... 5 places... lol

lol friedman, on your pujols sig, i looked and all you can see is his white jersey and hes headless lol... then i looked closer and found his head... just funny tho cause he looks headless if you dont look closely... maybe some white brush by his head to make is stick out?

so its okay? you want any changes?

follow bama's tutorial that you said was trash...

for your case, just use your eraser... you gotta zoom in tho... i never go less than 300% zoom... and have went all the way up to 1000% several times on hi res stuff

google and cbs sportsline

yea maybe i need to make the font bigger.... ill wait till he responds and what he decides... too lazy to do extra work :)

Here ya go... tell me what you think/improvements... to me, somethin seems wrong on it i just cant put my finger on it... if you dont like it... no biggy

i'll try... do you have a font in particular you want or just a cool looking script?

fred, real good other than the text babyface... looks a little blurry, likely because of the stroke... i suggest making that font a tad larger

yea, but i couldnt find any good action shots showin his face... if you can find me one, ill change it for you... also, look i edited it and added the stroke.. i had forgot it lol

how does this look? edit... forgot the stroke lol

heres one i made for myself... comments?

updated it a little more... hows it look? and i did another for my bf42 site... (my handle there is aragorn)

somethin seems weird with tabata's arm like it was cut off in the original picture... maybe put battle on top of him?

yea... what filthy said plus, im not big on the red stroke
