@AslanistheBest: Just as a side note: I'd suggest copying and pasting. I am not positive, but I feel safer copying rather than officially "downloading" but it might be the same thing. Once you get your window to open, highlight, or right click and "copy" the file onto your desktop, and go from there (into a different file, or whatever you like).
Personal preference though.
Anyhoo - I am in here due to GIMP troubles. I was reading through the last few pages, but still have not been able to figure out brushes exactly. Can someone give me step-by-step instructions on how to open a brush and apply it to a picture? Do I open it seperately from another picture? Do I need to start a new file through GIMP, or can I access my saved files of textures (on my Documents) somehow from GIMP??
I see the whole Layers option thing, and get that, but I am not sure on how to re-size pictures (and textures). Can I not just take the corner of an image and use my mouse? Or do I always have to type in the pixel size? (I also see a crop tool, but is there another way?)
The brushes at the bottom (of the same box as layers) look more like paint/pencil things then actual textures/brushes we can get off of NWeb. Is this where I put/use regular textures from?
Also, how do I "de-select" a tool? Or undo something? There is always the undo button, but sometimes that doesn't work for me. (like when a spot on the picture is circled and the dotted lines are blinking.... *confuzzlement* ) Is there a way I can get back to having a simple mouse arrow, and not have a tool selected?
Thank you to anyone who can answer any of this!!!
Ya, sorry about my rambling, but I would appreciate explanations of certain things. You don't have to answer every single question.
