GIMP-It's free!!

So a while back I downloaded GIMP. It's like Photoshop only it's free. But it's also very complicated. I've been playing with it and finally feel like I'm getting a little bit of a hang to it. There are some great tutorials on youtube, thank goodness, otherwise I'd been completely lost. The banner I've got on my site is the result of my most recent project. I think it turned out pretty good. Unfortunately, I think I'm becoming addicted to GIMP. I'm designing banners instead of writing. Ugh!

  1. I think the banner is fantastic! I too downloaded it a while back, but I haven't gotten to play around with it yet. I want to, though. :)

  3. Your banner is para-fantastic. Yeah, that's the thing, I 'know' I'd get addicted if I ever got it figured out.

  4. I've not tried GIMP, but I have Serif PhotoPlus and I agree, it is very addictive to design banners and such. The banner looks wonderful!

  5. The banner looks awesome! I was thinking that even before I read that you made it. I am now inspired to make an awesome banner for my own blog sometime soon. :)

    I've never tried GIMP, but I'm pretty in love with Adobe!

  7. @Serena...I had Bannermaker, but I had all kinds of issues. Mainly all files are saved as .gif's and it would mess up my colors and some of the fonts. This is much better!

  8. @Ranae, thanks. I don't know anything about Adobe. There are still lots of things I haven't figured out about GIMP, but I'm having fun learning.
