Question for you Nerdy Geeks

[sharpshot51]

<br><br> Well instead of bugging everyone to make a sig for me like I've done in the past, I decided to attempt to make one on my own. Anyone have any ideas on some free programs that are noob friendly ? Lemme know thx <p></p><i></i>

The GIMP is free and powerful, but I'm not sure it qualifies as n00b-friendly.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.gimp.org/downloads/">www.gim ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

<br> Heh, thx for the reply, I know this is going to sound REALLY stupid but how do I d/l it. The site looks sorta messy and when I went to d/l's i couldnt really find a like direct d/l ? Am I just slow or is it differant then normal d/l's ?<br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> god im a noob :-P <p></p><i></i>

No prob. <br><br>Go to the link. Scroll down; you find a section titled "Binaries for various platforms." Choose "GIMP for Windows." Read the instructions on that page. <p></p><i></i>

<br> Aha ! thx I have figured it out, there was this thing about d/l'ing the ftp or html version so i did the html. Did i pick the right one ? <p></p><i></i>

ftp or html is just chosing where (and what kind of server) you're downloading from. Once you got it, you have the same file either way, so you have the "right one", as long as you picked the right choice between "Windows" or "Linux" or "Mac" or whatever. <p></p><i></i>

<br><br> Ah ok thx <p></p><i></i>

I DLed it and was playing with it a bit today, and it's not exactly n00b friendly, but with a little time, you can figure it out quick. Pretty nice setup tho, and its easier to figure out than photoshop. <p><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:Arial;font-size:medium;"><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"Never, Never, Never Quit"</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> -Winston Churchill</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

Click on Fille>>New and then you'll get a dialog box to define the image size and properties. It will open in a new smaller window, and you can create there. The entire program is modular like that. <p><!--EZCODE HR START--><hr /><!--EZCODE HR END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><br><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:Arial;font-size:medium;"><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"Never, Never, Never Quit"</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> -Winston Churchill</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>
