Dude you are so good at this. I really appreciate you talking through exactly what you are doing, like saying the specific values because it means I can follow along with TH-cam minimized and gimp opened for maximum time use. Thank you!!
I've had a vinyl cutter for over 20 years... I'm thinking of buying a new Roland print-cut unit now... Your Gimp/Inkscape videos are incredible for showing me what's possible to create, and how to do it! Thank you so much for posting!
Awesome tutorial! It was a bit difficult equating the instructions to the new version of Gimp, but it helped me get more familiar with the tools and such, but regardless thanks for making this video
I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make such a brilliant video. Im a real novice at Gimp and I was able to navigate it easily and ended up making g a fantastic reproduction, using my own text. Thanks again, and keep up the great work on all your views!
I'm using a newer version of GIMP I didn't now how to get the gradient to be so subtle at 4:48 so I duplicated the 2nd layer and made a pink to white custom gradient, deleted the lower third on the new layer and made it go from white to pink.
In GIMP 2.10 it seems that the gaussian blur plugin is different from the version you're using (150 produces a very larger blur). Actually, also the "HSV Noise" is different in result...
Yeah, don't just get spoon fed, make adjustements you will still get the result he portrays. For me just a value of 30 works fine for the blur I want but you may seek to deviate. It's up to you.
Just had the same issue. Plus the 2.10 blurs and gradients don't seem to fade very well. I just went back to 2.8 and it seems to be working much better. Plus scripts work again.
in the newer gimp version its much easier to adjust the most effects, except the Noise.. it was pain in the ass until i had a result i was fine with and that it looked like in the video.
This is awesome mate. I'am useless when it comes to graphics design, but this has allowed me to create an absolutely EPIC 80's styled text logo for my Twitch channel. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this tutorial, it has helped me out considerably! Cheers!
sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Damon Luis Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Anyone able to tell me why when I do the blur stage of the background text layer, the preview blends smooth, but when I apply I get a really distinct 'cutout' affect around the blur instead of smooth fade to black?
The stars and lens flare weren't too customizable, so I used some stock photos with blending mode set to "screen" instead. Maybe you mentioned that already, but if not, then that is a useful trick that might help some of ya'll out. Thank you for making this awesome video. I learned so much.
Is there a way to make an updated version of this or tell me what version of GIMP you used in this tutorial? Your instructions are spot on and easy to follow, but since Gimp has updated the instructions don't exactly work in the same way. Some things have been changed. Your tutorials have helped me greatly in the past.
Everything is fine for me up until 11:09. In the new version of GIMP the HSV Noise screen looks completely different and has different values. I'm stumped on what to do.
you had to play around w it for a bit, i don't remember but i followed him up until the gaussian blur step. i think i set it at 2 and for the color levels (from left to right) i put 31 3.00 47 it looks sort of like it. hope it helps even tho it's mad late.
Thank you for uploading content! I've used Gimp for my whole life, and I don't have the time to explain how to do these effects, from now on I will be simply giving them links to your videos and telling them to subscribe
lol im watching this für the 20th time now. first i didnt understand, then i went rage because i couldnt make it work. now in just here for the colorcodes. i can reproduce that in about 10 minutes now. thx man
Nick, as always, thank you for sharing. I will try this in GIMP and Inkscape, I did a version of the reflective text on water in both software packages so my Saturday "Research" gets busy :-) West
This style would make a great album cover. Great tutorial! I'm sooo happy you finally aligned the text; maybe I'm a bit OCD, but that kinda annoyed me. xD
OOOoh This is perfect for my NV Mod! thank you so much NICK! I can now use it for the commercials I have been wanting to make for it! so this frelling helps so much!!! This rocks so much ***BIG HUGS*** !!!
Yeah this could certainly be done in Inkscape as well. In fact I originally planned for this to be an Inkscape tutorial, but I liked how it came out with GIMP better, and I think it's a tad bit easier to do with GIMP as well.
I like to do this effect by combining Inkscape and GIMP, making the base text in inkscape for maximum flexibility, then importing into GIMP and adding additional shading and effects. It's a nice workflow
Great tutorial. But i am using gimp 2.10.0 and i cannot get the stars to show. Is there something different in 2.10 that affects the way filters work? I go Filters - Noise - HSV and the window is different to what you had. No matter what settings i try i cannot get the same effect.
When I go to Alpha to selection it just does not select the bottom half of the letters,instead it selects around all of them again in which defeats the entire purpose.
Followed this to the letter but i'm having a problem the the allign tool not alligned. I've selected "relative to image" as you have and i even, for good measure, recreated your little adjustment with the move tool before hand just to make sure its not a selection problem. I am running 2.10.6
@@FunnerMovies this just happened to me right now, exact same thing. after applying the gradient, i select none and the entire text box is the gradient rather than just the letterse
Despite me using Gimp 2, you're tutorial was phenomenal. My only issue is the desaturation of the lens flare - still had notes of grey after adjusting the color curves.
Ok in GIMP 2.10.18 when I try to change the textbox to dynamic it keeps forcing it back to fixed. Any help for that? Cant seem to find anything about it online.
Not sure why your "grow" selection at 5:55 is much chunkier than mine is, mine is so thin and I'm at the same setting as yours. And the Gaussian Blur for me, under the same settings as your's, goes nuts on me and is nowhere near as subtle as yours is...I don't know what Gimp is doing for me lmao.
i've been following along and every time i choose "select none" it fills the whole rectangle surrounding the text with the gradient, completely covering the text.
Try switching away from the blend tool (Gradient in 2.10) before choosing "select none". I kept getting that same issue, and it was driving me nuts until I figured out this solution. I hope it works the same on your end.
Nick, the problem with my perspective tool is that it doesn't create an additional grid when I click on the grid. It just moves the entire grid to scale. Any help?
Hi. I don’t know if you look these comments anymore, but I love this and it would fit with my vision for my TH-cam channel logo. Would I be aloud to use this as my TH-cam logo, with the words changed to my channel name? Thanks
Great but for some reason when I deselect it just shows the gradient in a square and the text disappears. What did I do wrong? I followed all instructions to the tee. o.o
i always like to think outside the box, and when it comes to gimp, everyone has there own way of doing things, but this simple trick right here just knocked down my process by 10 layers.
Dude you are so good at this. I really appreciate you talking through exactly what you are doing, like saying the specific values because it means I can follow along with TH-cam minimized and gimp opened for maximum time use. Thank you!!
You dont know how much i appreciate your videos on gimp, its not as big as photoshop but you still post tutorials

Dude, it seems like you know every little detail about Gimp. Super impressive and awesome tutorial!
Nick ... you are doing the best youtube tutorials for Inkscape by far!
Thanks dude, you're awesome! I'd rather stay at home and watch your tutorials than waste money going back to school
Thank you so much. This might be the only tutorial like this I've ever followed that hasn't gone wrong.
I love you. In every good way possible. You have no idea how happy I am right now. And, it's all because of you.

Even though this is for an older version of GIMP, it's still an awesome tutorial!!

This is an EXCELLENT video. Thanks for posting. I needed something just like this for a TRON movie night at my house. Totally perfect.
Thank you so much for creating all your free content! I created the logo in my profile picture with it and did a simple GIF animation in GIMP.

Another great tutorial, especially love you did the raster and background too.
Never stop inviting these sick pics! Amazing stuff...

That was so amazing and easy to follow. I got exactly the same result as you. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much. I code for websites and other things so graphics usually isn't my department but your tutorials make it easy. : )
Bro it doesn't work when i click "select none" The color take over all the rectangle of the word
before that you need to press enter
Awesome Q&A! :)
You can lock alpha channel before deselect it
Instead of "select none", click on the "Move Tool" and that will do the trick.
Same.
I enjoy your tutorials. I made this profile picture with your guidance. Thank you. Please make more videos.
3:45
If i click "select -> none" the text disappears and i see just the colours
I had the same problem. You have to hit enter and then select nothing.

What about doing this style in Inkscape instead?
+1 Inkscape tutorial about this text style would be great!

Great tutorial.
But i am using gimp 2.10.0 and i cannot get the stars to show.
Is there something different in 2.10 that affects the way filters work?
I go Filters - Noise - HSV and the window is different to what you had. No matter what settings i try i cannot get the same effect.
Same exact problem. I know this is a year later but did you ever figure it out?
Wow, just stumbled upon your channel. Gonna be learning a lot here.
Incredible. That perspective tool part blew me away.
3:45 when i select none, my text disappear and left me with white and blue color? why?
ok i don't know what happened but i just went ahead and did the square, hit delete, then undo it, then select none and it worked ... hmm
you forgot to press enter i think
wwoooo thanks bud
i have confirmed that the enter key must be pressed, thank you kind person!
YOU ARE THE BEST! Thank you, you just saved my student-newspaper. (don't know what its called in english, I hope you understand)
great video...thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Nick
Another awesome video. Thank you again Nick!
Is there a way to make a script or style that just makes the text look like this?
This is most likely my favorite IMP channel! :-)
When I go to Alpha to selection it just does not select the bottom half of the letters,instead it selects around all of them again in which defeats the entire purpose.
Sir, you are a legend and thank you for this! That's literally what i was looking for for aaages!
This is REALLY good!
Thanks Nick, my video thumbnail looks awesome!!
Followed this to the letter but i'm having a problem the the allign tool not alligned. I've selected "relative to image" as you have and i even, for good measure, recreated your little adjustment with the move tool before hand just to make sure its not a selection problem. I am running 2.10.6
Question, do you export or save the image at the end to use it? And in what format?
I'm editing a TIFF image. what format do I save it as to not lose quality?
Whenever i select none after putting on the first gradiant in colors in the entire box the text is in instead of just the layers?
Did you find a solution to this? in older versions it is working
@@FunnerMovies this just happened to me right now, exact same thing. after applying the gradient, i select none and the entire text box is the gradient rather than just the letterse
lmao im stupid, press enter before pressing "select none"
@@oystersaucee_ that actually helped my dumb ass thx
try clicking "lock alpha channel" , it helped me
Thanx Learned one more thing today!
Is there a way to make the neon pink text also?
i have so many problems. i got too much "stars", i got the lens flare covered by the blue light from the words...What am I doing wrong?
Despite me using Gimp 2, you're tutorial was phenomenal. My only issue is the desaturation of the lens flare - still had notes of grey after adjusting the color curves.

is it possible to create 80s retro outrun mountains in gimp or is that a blender goal?
Blender would probably be better suited for that.
Nick, the problem with my perspective tool is that it doesn't create an additional grid when I click on the grid. It just moves the entire grid to scale. Any help?
When I use the rectangle and then hit delete, it gets rid of the top of the word. Help please.
Pleas can you make a video about how to apply this effect on a photo?
Where is the blend tool? I have Gradient, and Smudge?
