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!

You put the files in the gimp scripts folder, there are two folders you can use...
1.
documents and settings> user_name >.gimp2.4> scripts
If you put it in that folder only the account who user_name refers to can use them or...
2.
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....

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.

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?

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

Great.
When I use gain extract I get a black text with some tinting on it. Instead I used gain merge and it looks fine.

you can simply try rectangle shapes or any other shape, the steps remain pretty much the same.

From: Mirat Bayrak (06 Jul 2007 09:48 AM)

Can you show it with another shape? with rectangle or something else

hey peter! i don't know exactly what you mean. but only the preview of the pictures are saved as jpg, the full size is lossless png.

From: Peter Grosse (22 May 2007 05:11 PM)

Dude , nice tut , but never save images as jpg , unless you computers memory is like 64mb.
