Also, if i knew of a screen capture program like you used, Mogwai, i would be willing to make a vid tutorial of a Gimp walkthrough(provided i figure out the excess background stuff.)
I use Camtasia Studio 6 for video screen capture. You can download a 30day trial that will let you record videos.

Have you had your Seibergasm today?

Is there a particular bit you find difficult? Both Raph and I are getting pretty good at guiding the confused as its not a exactly a straightforward process, although once youy get the hang of it, its quite quick and painless - the hardest part is separating the bits you want to colour.

Corrected my typo there, damned firefox spellchecker.Psychout wrote:It getting transparated is fine, you should be creating the off-white background on a separate layer that sits under the colour layers. Do that and it should save fine.

Thats odd. Try cutting round the foreground and 'copy' then 'paste as new image'. It should give you a new image with a transparent background.DecepticonStinger wrote:Oh and one other problem.
