Colouring Screencaps tutorial.

requested by neenj61 on tumblr.

SO, I was asked to make a tut on colouring screeeeeen caaaaaaps.

This only works on SOLID COLOURS though. So if it’s not solid, it will look super messed.

This is like a one step tut, seriously LOL

I took the tumblr logo:

And made the background green:

 

and see, that b-hole looks screwed because the shades are different and NOT SOLID.

Step 1: Get a screencap, obviously.

Step 2: Choose a foreground colour. Achieve that by clicking on the black and white thing in the tool box. Click on the one on the TOP, in this case the black one. Choose your colour. THEN, click on the FILL option. The icon is the bucket. Then, click on where you want the colour to be. TADA 🙂 magic.

So there you go, how to colour a screen cap.

leave comments and shtuff, check out the tumblr bloggeh, you know, just to keep yourself updated *cough* like when the gif tut will be ready *COUGH*

Rainbow Blog Header tutorial.

I’M STALLING BECAUSE I HAVEN’T FINISHED THE GIF TUTORIAL YET LOL

So here is this RAINBOW BLOG HEADER TUTORIAL 😀

it’s pretty plain, but I think it looks nice, and I seriously need to post something to kill time between the gif tutorial.

SO HERE IT IS:

Step 1: Make a new document sized 800 x 140.

Step 2: In the toolbox, select the “gradient” option (called the Blend Tool if you move your cursor over it).

Step 3: Click on the box beside the Gradient bar and look for a gradient called Flare Glow Radial 2.

Step 4: Create a new layer and click on the left side of the document and drag it all the way to the other end. There should be a gradient on the right side of the page.

Step 5: Create another layer and do the same thing as step 4 but this time, starting from the right.

Step 6: In the centre, put your blog name, text, or anything you want to put in there!

TADA!!

I told you it was ridiculously easy.

Please leave a comment, I reaaaaally appreciate them!!

Send me any requests, ideas, or your creations to me and I will display them on the blog! 🙂

GAP Installation.

OH HEY GUYS

So. Today I’ll be posting a tutorial on how to install GAP (GIMP Animation Package). It’s required for making GIFS (which I will be doing a tutorial on SOON) and the installation is a *bit* complicated, I had to click around before I could actually get it to work.

Step 1: Go to this site. It’ll either start download automatically or you will be linked to a Deviant Art page. If you happen to be sent to the Deviant Art page, simply click on “download file” near the top right corner.

Step 2: Open the file. It’ll probably be in your downloads folder. Look for a folder titled “GAP_2_6_for_Gimp_2_6_Windows_by_photocomix_resources” and open it and the folder within it. There should be several folders, here are the ones that should be in it: EXTRA_ANIMATION_SCRIPTS, EXTRA-AUDIO-support, EXTRA-plugin-Animated_Cursor, GAP-installer, TUTORIAL_Doc, and a text document called HOW TO INSTALL. Open the GAP-Installer folder and open the installer. Complete the installation which is pretty straightforward.

Step 3 (yep you’re not done): Go back to your Downloads folder. There should be a folder called “lib”. Open it and open the folder named Gimp > 2.0 > plug-ins > Select all of the items in the folder (ctrl+a). Copy.

Step 4: Go to your local disk (probably your C: Drive) and click on the folder that’s called “Users”. Find the folder that has your account name on it. Open it and there will be a folder titled “.gimp-2.8”, and it will most likely be at the top of the folder. Open the folder and look for another folder called “plug-ins”. Open it and paste. All the plug-ins should be in that folder.

Step 5: Now open GIMP. There should be a new “Video” option on the options bar between “Filters” and “Windows”. If there is, then YAY you successfully installed GAP 😀 If not, then I don’t even know what to do lol, uninstall GAP and the plug-ins and do it over again.

STAY TUNED FOR THE GIF TUTORIAL (omg I’m hyping this up)!! Leave comments below if this helped you! 🙂

One Direction iPhone Wallpaper.

I’M FINALLY BACK WITH A NEW TUTORIAL! YAY!

THE COMPLETED PROJECT:

YAY, ONE DIRECTION! I’m sure this will be very appealing to teens. Myself included, I’m a teen also 🙂

Step 1: Create a new file. I’m using the iPhone resolution size, 640 x 960. Under the size selection, choose the picture that shows a portrait size. You can use whatever size that fits your mobile for this.

Step 2: Keep the background white. Make your foreground colour red (#ff0000, those are zeroes). Now select the “Rectangle Select Tool”, the very first tool in the “toolbox”.

Step 3: Make two bars/rectangles on the top and bottom. You can do it by making one rectangle of any size (just don’t make it too big) and copying and pasting it. Right click on your rectangle before you copy or paste. Go to “edit” and click on “Fill with FG Colour”.

Step 4: Insert this One Direction logo by dragging it onto the document:

(from http://www.4shared.com/photo/WT_2Fe9X/one-direction-logo-wallpaper_l.html)

DO NOT MOVE IT.

Step 5: Download this One Direction font: http://www.dafont.com/onedirection.font

Insert text onto the top bar with the font in the colour white and in size 40. Type in the names of the boys or anything relevant. I typed this: Niall. Zayn. Harry. Louis. Liam. Try to make it centred, it’s a bit tough but after a bit of tweaking you’ll get it.

DONE! Tada, your very own One Direction wallpaper. Have fun with it! 🙂
