Hope it helped you. http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar4377 http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar4377 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 21:43:10 +0200 Thanks for the tutorial! I've wanted to makes some Web-2.0-looking graphics for some time, now, but I was unable; I only had Photoshop Elements. That's problematic because: 1) It was on the Windows computer, not the Mac that's much easier to use, and, 2) Almost all Photoshop Tutorials use CS, often relying on tools that weren't available in elements. Then GIMP came along! Free, easy, and it comes with a comunity of other GIMPers making tutorials for the same version I use! Thanks again for the tutorial! http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar3405 http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar3405 Sat, 16 Feb 2008 13:18:14 +0100 I Could never dream of using windows. its a fucking shit OS.!!

C:>Program Files>GIMP-2.0>share>gimp>2.0>scripts all accounts on the pc can use them if you place them there... Also to note... what i said is for Windows only and the scripts folder may be located somewhere else on linux or Mac... Also I created a gelbar script you might be interested in.... http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/Gelbar-Script-Pack-26975-1.html Even though its not my tutorial, in my opinion it is sometimes better to through on generic background layer on images so you can fully view things such as the shadow or edge of something your cutting which is sometimes not noticeable on gimps checkerboard BG it uses to symbolize transparency. http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar3097 http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar3097 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 12:57:23 +0100 Nice tut, but wouldnt it be better with a transparent bg? then you could put it on anything And a little question to Split-Visionz: How do i install that script? http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar3091 http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar3091 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 08:07:50 +0100 the result of step five should be a gradient that is white at top and transparent at bottom. if you have other detailed questions please just ask http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar2871 http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar2871 Thu, 17 Jan 2008 01:04:42 +0100 i got lost at step five http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar2869 http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/glossy-orb-icons-for-websites.html#kommentar2869 Thu, 13 Dec 2007 14:13:30 +0100 Sorry, I guess I didn't post the link. lol.
