dude, I spy some heightened awareness of brush types. Have you tried the calligraphy pen tool?
DUDE I have lots of work to be doing write now, but instead I'm playing sonic CD

It sucks. Suppose I want to make a transparent black complex thing move counterclockwise while making a second complex black thing move counterclockwise (interacting transparently). This isn't possible because when you make transparent layers and save as a gif, every layer is visible in every frame. And if you try to have a white background or something, you bury the last frame in white, making it impossible to have transparent interaction.

There's simple animation experiments I can't do with the gimp. That'd be cool, for example, to have this animation only 1 quadrant of 4; top and bottom corners rotating oppositely. Then you could play around with phasing, making it totally bizarre and fucked up. But since the gimp sucks I guess I can't.

there is a solution; in the layers menu there is a 'merge down option', which does the obvious thing; note that it DOES respect any settings you put on the layer.
of course this isn't optimal because you need to manually go through and merge down everywhere you want to, but if you do it right before saving it should be too bad.
two hints: you can save to the 'xcf' format, which stores layer information and other shit. it's a HUGE file though, since there's all this extra data and lossless pixel storage to boot. Second hint: increase your maximum level of undos (its in the preferences). there's also a pref for making it friendlies to low memory systems (not valuable enough to get it's own hint).

for that one what you can use is the 'layer mask' option. what this does is a 'mask' to each layer, which sets (based on white and black in the mask) where the layer is visible and where it isn't. masks can have grey tones for partial transparency.
furthermore, you can select the mask and copy it, and then paste it in another layer's mask to easily copy the effect around.
also, 'duplicate layer' copies masks. to apply the mask, the right click menu on a layer in the layers window has an apply command.

I think I did play sonic cd for dreamcast once. It was a memorable experience, mostly because that was the first time I played a game on a new generation console. But otherwise didn't like it much gameplaywise. I remember one part where you're knuckles searching for emeralds in a huge world. That was when I was irrated with the "search for stuff" gameplay in most games... the worst of these is probably banjo kazooie for n64. They have all this awesome 3d stuff and they have the player go around collecting stuff... opgi. This post sucks but I guess I'll post it anyway.

oh hmmmmmmmmmmmm that's different than the one I'm doing, this is one is for sega CD. It came out before sonic 2. It's ok, but it has some great music and a few ok levels. Mostly I'm just pandering to procrastination.

I shall teach you to be a gimp, truly.
you know what would be cool? you should tell me to make plugins! yeah. I should learn how anyway. this post sucks too.
another fun thing to play with is in the layers->colors->levels controls. For instance if you blur something and then fuck with that, you can control how diffuse/sharp the blur is.. can make some neat shapes.
other fun thing is using the bezier tool for selections..
ANYWAY. anything I make with this program looks like complete ass.

The gimp needs a complete overhaul more than a plugin. Do you know the definition of plug in by the way. Everything uses plugins it seems. I guess the original code was set up easily to accept sections of new "plug in" code? I'll search wikipedia, the place where everyone deletes all my entries.

ahahhhahahahahahah
plug-in has an intentionally generic name because it has generic purpose; it's something which adds functionality to a program. There are programs like winamp which grant plugins far more control than what gimp allows. The goal is to make it wasy for others to extend a program without having to futz much with the internals, and also for people to be able to install/manage these extensions easily, and control whether they are loaded at all..

another thing.. under filters->animation there's something to reduce the size of animated gifs. I don't know how well it works but with the added complexity in the image from all sorts of transparency/shading/etc you'll probably need some help with the size..

I'd like to point out that my eye normally has saturn behind the pupil. that's customary.
I should have made the ring going in front of the pupil; ah well.

I have it for windows but I recommend something else. -V- who comes here sent me photoshop, macromedia flash and adobe illustrator 10, ha ha. I tried flash once and couldn't get it to work and have been waiting for a new computer or something since this one sucks so much. Maybe I should just try them on here anyway. I may be crazy but whever I uninstall stuff, then look at the portion of space being used on my c drive, it seems to stay slightly higher even after I uninstall it.
