Hi there! Before you launch your GIMP, I'd like to remind you that I'm open for requests. Please let me know if there's any particular Gimp or Photoshop tutorial that you would like me to see here :p
I'm here to share what I know about graphic design with you. Shoot me questions and requests if there's anything in particular that you'd like me to show you. Also, for friends who are in the learning stage and those who are pressed for time; I take requests in images and services to touch-up your picture. :-) Please leave your requests, questions, or comments in the comment box.
If you haven't downloaded the software, here's a link to the free download version GIMP.
Launch your GIMP, and let's get this party rock-n-rollin'

Believe it or not, GIMP doesn't just create neat pictures, it makes neat MOVING one's too! Here is a basic rundown on how animation works in GIMP.
GIMP Animation Tutorials
There are simple options to animating your picture in the Filters>Animation drop menu (pic 1), but these
are only limited to ripples, waves, and the like. There is a much more flexible way of animation. All it takes is a little bit of patience.
Here is what you need to do for a more in-depth animation experience:
1) Create a new image. It can be any size, but preferably small, since animation files can become large.
2) Now you have to understand that GIMP, like all other animation programs, creates them picture by picture. Think of a flipbook, or a stop-motion picture. This means you have to draw one picture after another. This is the part where you need a lot of patience. Begin drawing your first frame, or your first page in a flipbook. I will create a man waving and saying "hi!" The possibilities are nearly endless, but I will do this simple one for time reasons. (pic 2)

3) Add a new layer. This will be your next frame. Draw, then add a new layer, draw, then so on... Note that
when you are stacking the layers, the layer on the bottom will be the one that plays first in the animation! (pic 3)
4) When you're done, go to Filters>Animation>Playback. Take a look at what you've made!(pic 4)
5) If everything is okay, go to Filters>Animation>Optimize (for GIF). Gif is the image file that allows you to view animations on your computer, the internet, et cetera. (pic 5)

6) You'll get a new GIF Optimized version of your animation. Save that as a .gif. It will ask something
before you save it as a .gif. Click the Save as Animation bubble. Then click export.

Congratulations! NOw you have a fully working animation! (pic 7)
That wasn't so bad, was it! Practice by making a simple two-three-frames animation, and you will be surprised of how creative you can be!

"Hi everyone! This is Nicholas' page on La CoffeeMelodie Suite!
I was born in 1995. I am the second child in the Schatzki family. Of the four, I tend to be the one who acts the most differently. While the rest of my siblings can be seen as lively, flamboyant, and proud, I'm seen as calm, indifferent, and modest (sometimes).
I really like computers. If you combine this with the fact that I love art, guess what? I love to make digital graphics!
I would like to share what I love with you, that, plus, the fact that I practically live in front of my cool laptop, I might as well make it useful!"
And, this is how Your Graphic Buddy comes to life"
