Awesome collection, thanks! I have been using The GIMP for quite a while now and I am always searching for new tutorials and resourches. I am not a designer but I think that every designer should at least consider to give GIMP a try becouse it is a very powerful program.
guys i need help how do i make 2 photos turn to 1 photo ? I followed the parrot tutorial thingy.. and when i click Paste As > New Image , it says “there is no image data on the clipboard to paste” what should i do..?
Are you hitting the copy key first? After you make your selection you need to hit edit>>>copy and then you can hit paste as>>>new image
Hope this helps.
