|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

|

you can only submit and hope your avatar is third place material. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
well i guess i'll wait and see what are the two best submitted avatars and make one worse than them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

xlt slipmats: limited run |

Yep, that's really phobiazero- he always communicates in bold. Do you have any preferences? I could make some sort of complex geometric gif pattern but I'd have to use the gimp instead of flash so I don't stab my computer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe a complex geometric gif pattern but with the words 'nasty sausage' somewhere. |
||||||||
|
|

I made you one, it's a from the future. |

aw fuck, they FUCKED up the gimp. Now the selection tool is seperate from the move tool WTF. It took me a half hour of google searching to even figure that out. Now you have to select the move tool, and even then it moves the entire LAYER. So you have to select to move the selection instead, and go back to the select tool and try to select something without bizarre rectangle scaling bullshit getting in your way, go back and select the move tool, move the stupid crap, and it still doesn't work. It just moves the selection box. Man, really man, fuck this shit, FUCK IT STRAIGHT TO HELL. FUCKING FUCK!!!!!Q |

|
|
wow, that sucks. wtf were they thinking? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

FIRST they charge me nothing for it, and now THIS. I hope they go straight to hell. Well here is my submission which is not even to avatar scale for bonus points. |

Which is the good one? I found v2.2. I guess I'll give that a try. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i liked 2.2.13, which initially pissed me off because some tool area dedocked from the rest and was not redockable. However it ended up good because I just dragged the tool window really wide horizontally andn put it on the very bottom, then made the bottom of the drawing window right above it (so selecting from one to the other doesn't put any window behind the other. But for the love of god, ALWAYS create a new transparent layer right over the top of the white background immediately. Not doing that has wasted lots and lots of my time before, as if you don't, selecting stuff will also select the white of the background (so its rather unmovable/alterable) and you pretty much have to start all over. I have photoshop but still downloaded the gimp, just to show how shit that other can of worms is. |

photoshop is like, lets have a million and a half options where all the defaults are the wrong ones. And right there in the main drop down boxes we'll put all the useless little crap options that slow you down by constantly distracting you from what you're searching for. And to edit something there are like 5 different sneaky backdoor ways to do it, enough to make you forget how you even did it last time, but no front door. As for the main options you care about (such as, hmm, when you draw a single black line it doesn't affect random neighboring pixels by making them random shades of grey... even googling how to solve this is tricky. Is it 'anti aliasing' (wtf), is it some sort of 'crispyness ratio' of the line option or opacity.. or maybe I'm in special fucked up locked layer practice 8 bit mode. Oh oh, I solved a problem. The solution was to hold down alt PLUS control PLUS 'z' PLUS 'y' then drag, why didn't I think of that?? Oops they forgot to mention that particular shotcut anywhere (shortcut assumes there is a normal non short cut) Its a program you know, where supposedly annoying details should be locked away in code objects you don't have to worry about, let the program deal with all the bullshnizit on a lower level instead of ass-ifying it right in my face. |

Pen tool, make path, stroke from path set paintbrush or pencil size and press OK. You've just made an line. If you want to make a square just use rectangular marquee tool, set constrained aspect ratio or hold shift while still holding the lmb, press rmb and stroke option from the menu, set width and color and OK. |
