This tutorial is for GIMP version 2.8 and is intended to teach beginners how to use the software. GIMP is a great free alternative to Adobe Photoshop.

Thank you so much! I have watched so many tutorials that didn't show these easy steps. LEGEND!
Thank you for sharing all these tutorials Nick! Not a graphic designer or an artist, I've only started casually puttering about with GIMP -- finding this channel by accident was a lucky break, an inspiration to keep learning and try harder.
I did two practice runs using this and I think both look awesome! I can't wait to add these into my Gimp projects.
Thank you so much! My new book cover is looking pretty awesome with the glossy effect text
Dude that Text tutorial is awesome and easy to follow. Thank you very much!
The best "glossy" effect I've seen yet. The final "shine 2" layer really adds the finishing touch. Good Job.
I already had a black background so I skipped the shadow layer.
I noticed that you have your OBS icon in the taskbar. I believe that if you check your settings in OBS you can find some options to minimise the icon to the tray instead of the taskbar. I find that it frees up space and looks nicer. BTW, great tutorials! You're probably the only TH-camr I've found that actually has good tutorials for Gimp and Inkscape. You're also one of the only TH-camrs I've found that has lots of subscribers and actually interacts with them! ;)
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the videos. Thanks for the tip by the way - I'll look into that for my next video.
The water drop from the g'mic plugins suite can add a highlight using the option contour to shape in the plugin , put the shadows to zero and have a multi layer spectacular highlight for that glossy look if set refraction to 1.86 , can change the angle and use it on multiple layer shapes too for vector logos and text
This was fantastic!!!!!!
Great videos man!
Hey Nick. First of all I would like to thank you for all your amazing videos, really does help a lot. So I tried to do this twice but it's just turning out to be horrible. Everything seems to be right except the colour after using the ellipse tool, it's sort of violet-ish rather than blueish. Apart from that things seem to be right. Thanks a lot!
Nick, your the best man! Thanks for all your help! PS... Good thing I can rewind and replay! lol
amazing tutorial thanks so much!!
what a lovely tutorial
Thank you *SO* much! :D it works on the latest version as well ^-^
Another creative tutorial, but I too miss that catchy introduction. You inspire creativity that I never knew I had. Thank you for the awe inspiring videos.
Thank you so much, good tutorial 👍
Hi Nick, I'm a beginner is there any way you could slow down... I couldn't keep up with you clicking so fast thanks in advance.
That was amazing!
Nuances are duly noted and appreciated
Very helpful!
Is there a way that I can change the color of the chome? Thx
Forget about it. I just found the "Golden" option :)
Another great tutorial. I have to play around with this also.
very nice ! :) Thanks!🙏👍
thats genius!!
Hi Nick can you do this while trying to create a logo?
Nick. I just purchased your Building a Logo book. Thank you for all of this great content, and an excellent discount code, that pushed me over the hump of decision making
Missing your previous intro man :D . But again a great and informative video !
This tutorial is awesome, thanks dude!
Is it possible to do a glint text effect in gimp? So many tutorials are using after effects.
Hi Nick can you please tell how long in average does it take somebody to get this good?
It's different for everyone and depends on how much time you put in.
Keep 'em coming. Love the quality content!
Nice, thumbs up!
Thanks for the tutorial!
Do you have tutorial about displacement map technique ? I was stressed out with displacement map in GIMP T_T
Thank you! I learned something new.
By the way Nick, few days ago i went through your gimp tutorial playlist and noticed that 3 - 4 videos are set to private, i wonder what kinda tutorials those are that you hide.
Hmm I don't think I have any GIMP videos hidden. I know I have a few Inkscape videos set to private, but not GIMP as far as I remember.
ah, my bad that is in inkscape playlist. I confused myself :D
great work! thanx!!
Thank you!!
Why do you delete the text layer?
thanks
Hello thank's for all of your tutorial. I am malagasy and i have no money to pay a cours to learn gimp and inkscap so i follow you to learn. So thank you very much. If you have time could you do a flyers or a poster using gimp please. Thank's for all
OWow< impressive
i realy like your videos ,i made a logo for my channel with inkscape with your help Thank you very much :>)
I hate HDPI screens. Can barely see the text in the video, is so tiny.
Thank you , this was awesome!!!
Awesome. Thanks
Amazing bro, thanks a lot
PLease teach making ad banner s with gimp.. thank you so much
Does the crown molding gradient effect exist in gimp 2.10?
Yes.
so amazing, thank you!!
Instead of the black layer for the drop shadow, couldn't you save a few steps and use the drop shadow tool (filters>light and shadow>drop shadow)
you think he does not know that? there is reason why he did it.
Dont have to be so agressive,I didnt mean it as an attack, it was just a thought to save time. geez
Yeah you can do that. But creating another layer for drop shadow gives you more control over it's horizontal and vertical axis. You can adjust it just by moving the layer until it fits perfectly with your design. But with filters, you have to play with different values which I think is hectic.
Yes that would work as well, but creating it manually gives you more control over its appearance.
hey nick do cartoon portrait in inkscape
Missing that intro. But awesome tutorial as always. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, I'll probably bring it back next time.
LOVE, THANK YOU MAN
One question about logos! Ive just started my youtube channel and you can (if you click on my name and look at my profilepick and my title) that im not the profi @ creating logos. So If I need a TH-cam logo can I buy it from your website? Or do u know anyone else doing youtube logos ? :)
Yeah I've created logos for TH-camrs as well. Just fill out the design request form on my website and I'll be in touch within 24 hours. If you already did, I'll be in touch in just a little while. Didn't get to my inbox yet this morning :)

First comment!!!
lol atleast watch the video and comment :p
Good user of gimp. Poor teacher of gimp
You move much to fast to follow - slow down, this isn't a race to see how fast you can finish - not helpful at all - certainly not your best work - you wasted my time.
