THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL I HAVE EVER SEEN. I DIDN'T HAVE TO KEEP CLICKING BACK AND FORTH ON GIMP AND YOU TUBE, YOUR NARRATIVE PRETTY MUCH HELPED ME ALL THROUGH. THANK YOU.
I really like how you teach. Slow enough and just enough repetition to get the concept.Please keep up the excellent clear tutorials. Thanks for all you do!
After selecting the bucket fill tool, look down at the "Tool Options." There should be a section called "Affected Area." Select "Fill whole selection" if it is not selected already. Hopefully this will help.
As a beginner, I am learning more about the functionalities of GIMP by watching your tutorials. So thank you for being such a great teacher and keep up with your awesome videos!!
The layer with the text and the layer with the splats brush both need to be the exact same size for the displace filter to work. To insure that they are both the same size, right click on each of these layers and select "Layer to Image Size." Then try the displace filter again.
APerfidiousDane you know, it was wildly intimidating to look at my screen and feel confident about it. But i wanted to make my own book covers so bad, i just kept replaying the videos and working with it. i focused and treated it like a super advanced game. i think you'll get the hang of it if you clear your schedule and just sit and play with it. I'm Dislexic on top of it and i got it. It's not a five minute app, but if you want good results and you want to do them your self, his videos are perfect for that.
In the Displace filter dialog box there are checkboxes to the left of "X displacement" and "Y displacement." Make sure that both checkboxes have a check mark. Also, the layer that you're applying the displace filter to, and the map layer, both MUST be the exact same size. Before applying the displace filter, right click on each layer and select “Layer to Image Size.” Then apply the filter.
The foreground color sets the color that the tools will use. I set the foreground color to white so that I could fill the text with white. I set the foreground color to black so that the splatter brush would be black.
You were the first one that actually got me into it. Didn't know what I was doing but followed along and made the GIMP logo just like you did. Getting into it is how I will eventually learn what the controls do. Without a target like you gave me I didn't know where to start. I'll be back many times before I really get it. If I don't croak first, I'm 70 and a slow learner. But once I learn it I generally do better than the person who taught me. I don't think that will be the case here thought, not by a long shot, but I will get better. Thanks for not wasting peoples time, you got right to it step by step.
Thanks you so much for this tutorial! The fact that I'm german don't make it easier to understand every tutorial in english, but you did everything so clear and explained it very well. I look forward to watch your other Gimp tutorials! :)
I have had Gimp for over a month now. I have to say up till now my experience has been frustrating to say the least. But today I completed my first "layered" project. I love this program that's where the frustration comes from, I want to create everything now! Thanks to you I think the light bulb is starting to go off. It was just my name and I'm sure no one here at my home is excited as I was , but it really looks cool and I'm proud of it. Now I just got to figure out what to do with it : )
Every step is very clear. Thank you so much!!! As I am a beginner, with a lot of tutorials, I cannot understand where a layer came from or what type of filling is used, what it is used for, where the alpha channel is used, etc., and the end result is usually a failure, but with yours, every step is very easy to follow and the end result is a success. You are a top class instructor.
I'm so impressed with your tutorials on GIMP. Thank you. You explain them clearly and I understand what I'm doing. It's not just following a list of orders.
Sometimes, while playing with GIMP, I'll discover a cool technique and then I try to think of a good application for it. Other times I'll see an image that inspires an idea and then I try to implement the idea. Coming up with a good idea, that can be shared in a video of reasonable length, is definitely the hardest part.
I have absolutely no ability to make anything look cool on a computer with image editing software, you have changed that, thank you so much, this was awesome!
I have know idea what I just did, but I enjoy GIMP and will keep practicing to eventually understand what it is that I am doing. Thank you for your tutorials.
This is a very good tutorial. It's one of the best I've seen, to be honest. You spoke clearly, the screen was easily visible, the directions were easy to follow, and it's explained well enough that even a beginner can follow it. Thank you.
High fives on creating another excellent GIMP 2.8 tutorial! I'm a total noob with this program and my splash text project turned out exactly like yours. Thanks!
Sir, you are a awesome It's hard to convey how these tutorials help me, I've watched many from many contributors - but the way in which you present yours, especially the clarity of your instructions and speed of tutorial is perfect for me. I am a total noob at all things IT / Internet etc. I started learning GIMP a year ago, now I''m having a go at HTML. I have a learning disability which has caused me many problems in life, your tutorials have put a smile back on my face - THANK YOU so much :)
It's possible that your layers are not the same size. The layers must be the same size for the displace filter to work properly. If this is the problem, then you can fix it by right clicking on each layer and select "Layer to Image Size."
Beautiful graphics... and excellent tutorial technique: clear enunciation, well-built presentation, and a pleasantly moderate pace of speaking and showing which enables one to follow the tutorial easily. I've tried out several of your tutorials in the last couple of days and enjoyed them very much. I definitely recommend them! Thanks!
You are one of the best educators on TH-cam. You have really helped me advance my skills in GIMP which I will be using in various tasks from building a website to animation with Blender. I love all of your tutorials and use your channel often. Thanks again for the awesome tutorials and please keep them coming. I look forward to following in your footsteps and doing the same by helping others in the same manner to help them realize their creative potential when I am advanced enough.
Nice video, Easy to understand, Every step explained. Useful for both new Gimp users and people with fair knowledge of Gimp. I followed along using my own techniques and the only problem i had was my other layers were not showing up in the displace dropdown menu which was fixed by simply scaling the other layers to image size which you explain how to do.in this video so everything's cool and i ended up with roughly the same effect. Thanks for the tutorial.
I first saw your tutorials on Blender and they helped me a lot there. I was glad to see you also have tutorials for Gimp. They are very helpful, cheers.
Your pacing and directions are amazingly synchronized ... I am able to dublicate what you are doing almost in lock step .. pausing only to better absorb the how and why you are doing something. Thanks!
I did everything except the last part where you move the Original Text up to the top, to cover the Alien Glow. I did the color in red and thought the black bevel effect looked good, so I kept it. In any case, you've earned another subscriber.
very easy tutorial...my only down fall with going along with you was that I didn't have the splat brush in my selections of brushes so I just used the closest one to it ...didn't turn out quite as good but I had fun working with it :) thanks!
I had to go back in with the Splat 02 brush once more before displace would remove any of the text . My displace tool didn't look like yours so that made it extra confusing. But I finally got it. Mine turned out more on the Aqua side. Thanks! Every day I am more amazed by Gimp. I like Gimp so much that I created a keyboard shortcut for it. Control-Alt- G pulls it right up.
Man, I'm new to this and your ability to take your time and give detailed help is 2nd to NONE! Thank YOU! Definitely earned a SUB from me too!!! God Bless
I have NEVER used gimp before I have just been using Pic Monkey. I was asked to learn GIMP (it's so detailed lol) I want to thank you for being such an amazing teacher. You took your time and explained every step in such a way I had to trouble at all. I subscribed because I'm hoping you do more tutorials!!! :) Thank you Sir. :)
You are a brilliant teacher. I am able to follow all the steps in your tutorial. I have learned so much new things today. Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge.
This is pretty cool. I do wish there was a little more explanation of some of the steps that you didn't immediately see what the effect was - the others were self-explanatory but to apply these steps to other projects you need to know why you're doing things. Very nice project.
This question has to do with the technical aspect of recording this tutorial. I noticed that you recommended the up and down arrows for moving layers, this struck me as I've tried using Camtasia to record my videos of GIMP operations. The issue in those recordings is that I am unable to drag and drop the layers and I wondered if perhaps, you have the same issue. My issue seems to be that somewhere the two programs conflict...just wondering if you have the same issue.
You can use just about any font, any size image, any size font, and any size brush. The values and fonts in this tutorial are just smaller words and what he specifically prefers.
Click on the “Windows” menu, at the top of the GIMP window, and you should see “Recently Closed Docs” and "Dockable Dialogs." One of these should help.
Amazing tutorial! I am curious tho- around 4:30 you want to make the letters white. I followed every step but somehow my letters deselected and I can't white it. Nothing responds. Any idea where it may have gotten wrong?
THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL I HAVE EVER SEEN. I DIDN'T HAVE TO KEEP CLICKING BACK AND FORTH ON GIMP AND YOU TUBE, YOUR NARRATIVE PRETTY MUCH HELPED ME ALL THROUGH. THANK YOU.
Hands down the best tutorial series on the internet. Clearly spoken, no muss, no fuss, just a perfect tutorial.

Really appreciate how clearly you speak!
But he always took the long route and acted like we couldn't remember how to get back or how to use keyboard commands
I dont bother with it. The tutorial is perfectly for beginners and he nailed it!
You overestimate the average user, exrlx0.
APerfidiousDane you know, it was wildly intimidating to look at my screen and feel confident about it.

One of the best tutorials I've ever have seen. Very clear and pointed presentation.
And the text effect is just awesome btw. Thanks a lot

Your so good at teaching. slow and steady. Best to watch you at full screen. Love when u explain purpose of tool settings. keep up.

Somebody please tell me are all the fonts in gimp able to be used for commercial use, like making a logo??
yea cant find anything but thanks for your input bud.
I think that fonts is on your conputer, isn't in gimp software
you are right
I'm so impressed with your tutorials on GIMP. Thank you. You explain them clearly and I understand what I'm doing. It's not just following a list of orders.
Yeah.
I just found this video and I like how your tutorials are easy to follow and not too fast like the other people I have watched :)
Sometimes, while playing with GIMP, I'll discover a cool technique and then I try to think of a good application for it. Other times I'll see an image that inspires an idea and then I try to implement the idea. Coming up with a good idea, that can be shared in a video of reasonable length, is definitely the hardest part.

wow, that was cool. i followed along step by step and i got it!! thanks for an easy to follow and informative tutorial.
One of the best video tutorial channel for GIMP I have ever found. Thanks a lot .
This is a very good tutorial. It's one of the best I've seen, to be honest. You spoke clearly, the screen was easily visible, the directions were easy to follow, and it's explained well enough that even a beginner can follow it. Thank you.
Yes, this is a great channel for tutorials.
Thanks for the tutorial finally someone who explains it slow and step by step instead of rushing through it
Thanks
One hell of a demo.... even a kid would learn it from u... awesome..... kindly continue more such demos... thanks

great tutorial, really easy to follow along
The "Splats 02" brush is a standard brush that comes with GIMP version 2.8.
Your videos are spot on. Simple and easy to follow along. Thanks!
thank you for the walk threw,like the way you show the step by step..i never go wrong with your tutorils
I am Dutch speaking with only little English but easily could follow the whole video and succeeded the image. GREAT!!!
I first saw your tutorials on Blender and they helped me a lot there. I was glad to see you also have tutorials for Gimp. They are very helpful, cheers.
The splats brush is one of the default brushes that comes with GIMP version 2.8.
You are very clear to understand and explain every detail. Thank you! 5 Thumbs UP.
Thank you for all the awesome GIMP tutorials. They have been immensely helpful.
Good clear directions- thanks! Can you do this with text that is attached to a picture?
Your pacing and directions are amazingly synchronized ... I am able to dublicate what you are doing almost in lock step .. pausing only to better absorb the how and why you are doing something. Thanks!
I love your tutorials for text! Was looking for good ideas and things to do in gimp and finally found them on your channel! Thanks
I did everything except the last part where you move the Original Text up to the top, to cover the Alien Glow. I did the color in red and thought the black bevel effect looked good, so I kept it. In any case, you've earned another subscriber.
Thanks so much for the clear and concise instructions. Definitely the best on here. Keep em coming.
i'm so impress to you the way you teach you,you are the best teacher to all tutorial that i show thank you very much i always watch you...
EXCELLENT! THIS WAS MY 1ST TIME USING GIMP! Your instructions were very clear & helpful thanks!
Thank you so much, all of your tutorials are so simple and easy to learn thank you so much, subscribed.
You do the best job on teaching, thank you for your patience and thorough tutorial!!
GIMP 2.6 does not have the splats 02 brush so you will need to find a substitute. Everything else should work.
thanks, the way you explain is fantastic, great tutorial... being a total amateur I leaned a lot thanks to you ...
Oh, and thank you for posting this. There was so much information had to pause like fifty times to get everything down. Very helpful :)
Lets hype this chanell in 2020. these tutorials are really clean.
very easy tutorial...my only down fall with going along with you was that I didn't have the splat brush in my selections of brushes so I just used the closest one to it ...didn't turn out quite as good but I had fun working with it :) thanks!
Clear instructions; easy to follow. Great job on this and mine came out exactly as shown.
Super cool! Would this effect/video work for Gimp 2.10.24?
Thanks!
what site did you use to get your brushes? or were those standard for 2.8? i have 2.6 and had to get new ones that kind of worked
Great tutorial! Thanks so much! Is there any way to put this on a transparent background instead of black or white?
I had to go back in with the Splat 02 brush once more before displace would remove any of the text . My displace tool didn't look like yours so that made it extra confusing. But I finally got it. Mine turned out more on the Aqua side.
Thanks! Every day I am more amazed by Gimp.
I like Gimp so much that I created a keyboard shortcut for it. Control-Alt- G pulls it right up.
amazing vid man, you have some serious skill. Great job saying every little thing you were doing along the way :)
This was the easiest to follow, step by step. Thank you so much! Looks great for DJ logo :)
Thanks so much man! Just recently downloaded GIMP and searched for some cool tutorials on it and I found you. Got a new subscriber! ;)
You're the best teacher around.
You made this so easy to follow along, thanks!
English is not my "mother language", but your extraordinary tuto is easy to understand !
Félicitations !
Go to the File menu and select Export. Then give your image a name with .jpg as the extension. Then press the Export button.
Hello tutor4u, Great tutorial as always, I have a question. What selections could be used to make a honey bee themed font or text?
Man, I'm new to this and your ability to take your time and give detailed help is 2nd to NONE! Thank YOU! Definitely earned a SUB from me too!!! God Bless

Fantastic video! Do you know if there is an option in Gimp similar to the water splash, but just looks like water beads?
Oh my god! Thanks so much man! Your steps are so easy to follow! You definatly earned a sub from me! Once again, thanks! :D
This dude is a great teacher. I have learned so much.

Excellent tutorial congratulations.
Ricardo of Brasil
It seems nice to use with people. I like the way it disintegrates.
Your tut was very well made and very precise on the steps. Great job!
great tutorial - easy to follow and produced great results, thanks!
You can use just about any font, any size image, any size font, and any size brush. The values and fonts in this tutorial are just smaller words and what he specifically prefers.
Great tutorial! Do you ever consider requests?
Thank you so much! I'm a new GIMP user so this was very straight forward and easy to get.
You taught me a few awesome tricks! Thank you for this tutorial!
This is one of the best you tube clips i have seen,thank you Sr.....
Спасибо за вашу работу.
Thank you. Excellent Tutorial. GIMP is so good but difficult to use. Your tutorial makes it easy. Thank you
