You give the best and simplistic directions that can teach an uneducated person the correct way to utilize GIMP. Keep it up and put more tutorials up DrChee
this is the best tutorial i have ever seen on you tube! you speak very slow and clearly, and you Show every step very understanable. i usualy do use only german tutorials. but yours is so easy to understand, even for me. go on.... your way is perfect! LG
I'm new at using Gimp. I did the rock tutorial with a bit of ease. This one was much more complicated, IMO. I had to start over more than once and finally achieved a good looking product. I'm sure my difficulty is due to my using the latest version of Gimp as the interface doesn't look the same as in the tutorial, and just getting used to using Gimp as a whole. Your teaching style is very structured which is what I like most...anyway, thanks for the tut.
Excellent! In spite of I do not speak your language, I understood all the same your video (letters remain black by putting the mode of the "normal" filling but by putting the mode " Color erase " the result is as your. BRAVO and thank you
This is the third tutorial of yours that I have followed and I'm completely hooked! This kind of learning is perfect for me. I'm going to repeat this tutorial several times and experiment with some of the different effects. Thank you!
I have used gimp for very rudimentary color fills. I am truly amazed that with simple tools and a few repeating clicks that this can be done. Now to experiment. Thank you for detailing this process.
Most amazing video I have ever seen on TH-cam as far as tutorial is concerned, Very clear and precise and great explanations, Great job. Absolutely smashing
In case anyone else had the same problem I did, at 11:15 after selecting Noise>HSV Noise my screen went to a yellow/olive color over the black. At 11:41, I didn't have a black background and white foreground, I had black & yellow and more smoothness and yes my foreground & background colors were set to black & white. After messing around with it, I found that at 11:38 before hitting ok, click the background color button (should be set to white). This then gave me the white snow flake effect. Also up the Flare effect for larger snowflakes. Other than that this guy is one if not the best on here for GIMP tutorials. Two thumbs up. I would not have been able to do this otherwise.
Thanks so much. You are very inspiring with your well made tuts ! I think the biggest problem is to know what the gigantic amount of filters does and how to combine them or use them to achieve a specific effect. You show us the tip of an iceberg what Gimp can do. Thank you very much ! Best regards - Mike
Thank you for a great tutorial. Clear, concise and very easy to follow! It is almost magical watching the final product take shape from unexpected layer modifications and tool usage.
There is a workaround for the flame. First, make a new layer, fill it with a color or gradient you want to use for your flame. Then make a new layer for your flame. When you open the flame filter, you can choose your color/gradient filled layer with Colormap at the bottom. Pretty much what CogitoErgoCogitoSum was saying. By the way Tutor4u, thank you for the tutorials. They're thorough and pretty darn cool.
I did it!!!!!! Was very happy with the results. Hope the tutorial stays on here. I need to write down the process. Thanks again. I used for my cover board on facebook.
Great Tutorial! It is snowing right now (up to 14"). I will use this effect on some pix I'll take of the final snow fall to send to friends in warmer climates. Thanks for your time making this and all your tutorials and sharing them.
I really enjoy watching your tutorials. You are very detailed in every step you talk about. I really appreciate your work and your precision. Thank you :)
I tried this one but I messed up sometimes around the flames and clone tool because I obsessed so much about the perfect cracks *rolleyes* that I started messing up the layers to a level that was not fixable anymore. Might be because it is really late and I just did 3 of your other tutorials. I'll try again tomorrow. Can't be that difficult. You explain really well!!
I just wanted to say I looove your channel! Your tutorials are great, slow paced, and well explained. I also want to ask, if you're still doing GIMP stuff, if you can do a new text tutorial? I wanted to see if you can make a cloud/cloudy text.
Good video. Had to go back and forth a few times though. You might want to pause so people can keep up. Also the cursor got lost sometimes and I couldn't figure out where you where - might want to make it a circle so people can follow it. Had fun doing this. Thanks.
This is such a great tutorial. Thank you so much for taking time and giving us the lesson at a slow space. I almost can do every step you showed in the video, except for one step at 4:14 when you press the "Delete" key board to make the text transparent. Since I can't do that (nothing works on my text when I press the delete key board), so when I set the back ground to blue, the text appears in black color still. Please help me out of this problem. I am using Mac. Thank you and regards.
The Flame filter does not appear to be working properly in GIMP version 2.8.4. I checked and it looks like this problem has been reported to the GIMP developers. So, hopefully it will be fixed in a future release. For now, If you can find an earlier version of GIMP, like version 2.8.2, then it should work fine.
Love your tutorial. I did get a little turned around but that was my fault. Brand new to using the program and wanted to jump way ahead, lol. Back to basics for now : )
Great video. It took me several tries to get it mostly right. I don't know what step I missed but my text turned out black instead of blue. Don't know if you can tell me which step I missed. Also, some things seem a little different between Windows and Mac, but then I am new at Gimp. Thanks again and I look forward to your next video. Do you have one for curved text?
Thanks for this tutorial- I only have trouble with this alpha to channel - Could you make a simple tutorial about channels and layers - since it's hard for newbeginners to follow ...
Filters / Render / Nature / Flame didn't work for me in GIMP 2.8.4 The help did note that it's broken for 'larger images'. I just got all black when trying to do the flame filter....so I picked another filter instead (I did Filters/Render/Lava instead; did the find edge/invert as otherwise shown in the video. looks good).
Love your tutorials. I used a longer name, font size of 120, template size 1000x600. And I can't get my flame filter to look like good ice. Any suggestions for that part when you are using a much longer name?
Is this the latest version of Gimp? Also, what plugins are you using? I am attempting your tutorials (which are very well done by the way) but I am missing most of the buttons and features you use to change sizes and such of brushes, text, etc. I simply don't have those features. Where can I get them? Thanks!
I did it! I did it! I so did it! Oh I can't believe it!!!!! Yay!! Thank you sooooooo much! God bless you! You are so kind! I have been sick for a long time and suffering from depression and I decided to do something I never done in my life and I'm learning! I have a son who is a graphic designer and I am surprising him! I'm learning by myself! hehehe!!!
Wonderfull, it's all I can say :-). The tutorial is verry easy to follow even for a non English speaking person which I am. I hope you have more of this.
Hi, and thanks for the great tutorial! What would I do if I wanted to make the letters into individual PNGs, like people do for scrapbooking when they make cool alfa-sets? Could I color the letters blue with the ice and snow without coloring the whole background? Thanks.
At 4:14 you say to press delete key. Nothing happened. So I pressed the "delete this layer" icon and my new image looked nothing like yours. I repeated the whole process to check for errors but had same results.
minute 4:10 after selecting the layer he says press DELETE ON YOU KEYBOARD, mine does not do anything, please help please.. I have a Mac Computer so thats probably the problem, but am trying comand+delete or option+delete but nothing happens..
Hello, I'm a big fan from your videos! You explain very good and clear, thank you for this! But a littey pitty is, that I'm a german student, and so I understand not all, but many thinks! :) Excuse my from my spellings!
tutor4u is right.. the flame filter is not working but i used the sponge 02 from the paintbrush with a opacity of 61.6 and a size of 511.13 and it looked good.
Awsome video but to make the snow drift go faster you can hold the shift key while selecting and make all the selections at once then fill and shadow tftv
Great tutorial..i have one problem. I have followed your instructions to a T, although i have my text much smaller, and the feathering edge obviously at a tenth of my font size. 4 mins in, when you click on top layer and press delete on the keyboard, for me, it is not doing anything? I'm using a Mac. I tried to delete layer, thinking it may do the same thing, but i end up with just a black background and flashing outline of the text. Please help? Thank you :)

Your are amazing sir. I had no idea gimp was so powerful. Thank you for all of your videos, you truly have a great service.
This is the third tutorial of yours that I have followed and I'm completely hooked! This kind of learning is perfect for me. I'm going to repeat this tutorial several times and experiment with some of the different effects. Thank you!

You are a legend!!! I was having exactly that problem!!! I nearly quit and then I read this! Thank you!
Great Tutorial! It is snowing right now (up to 14"). I will use this effect on some pix I'll take of the final snow fall to send to friends in warmer climates. Thanks for your time making this and all your tutorials and sharing them.
I really enjoy watching your tutorials. You are very detailed in every step you talk about. I really appreciate your work and your precision. Thank you :)
I am impressed with your way to explaining the tutorial and in one go I have done it by myself. Thank you 😊
Very good tutorial. You go slow, but not too slow, and you clearly detail every step. A+
I tried this one but I messed up sometimes around the flames and clone tool because I obsessed so much about the perfect cracks *rolleyes* that I started messing up the layers to a level that was not fixable anymore.

Your tutorials are fantastic for a new GIMP user like myself ! Thank you so much.
Nice! Very Easy To Understand! And Clear voice! you do the best blender and GIMP tutorials on youtube :)
THANKYOU!!! I'm transitioning from PS to Gimp. This is a great tutorial. Thank you for saying/showing where everything is!
Best tutorials I've ever seen to date. Thank You!
you give such clear instructions that i can usually have the video in the background as i'm doing it and just listen(: !
you are an excellent tutor and you know GIMP so well WOW !!!! You are the best !!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to say I looove your channel! Your tutorials are great, slow paced, and well explained.
I also want to ask, if you're still doing GIMP stuff, if you can do a new text tutorial? I wanted to see if you can make a cloud/cloudy text.
I'm a total new user of Gimp. So I've spend so much time on this video, but now it's done.
Thanks! Great Video. ;)
I think this is the most awesome tutorial on Gimp. You are the man. thanks for a great video.
Jjust finished the tutorial and loved the outcome. can't wait to see what you do next
Great tutorials. I am learning a ton by watching these. Keep it up, please and thank you!
Very clear, precise instructions and great explanations
Thank you so much. Was really struggling to find tutorials and also struggling with the programme. Have learnt so much :0)
Great tutorial! I didn't even know that gimp has a single-window mode! Awesome!
Good video. Had to go back and forth a few times though. You might want to pause so people can keep up. Also the cursor got lost sometimes and I couldn't figure out where you where - might want to make it a circle so people can follow it. Had fun doing this. Thanks.
Your blend tool shape is probably on Radial, the default settings. Change it to linear and try again. It worked for me. :)
My english is very very bad, but i was be able to follow you . You have this viedeo done very great. So ihave seen everey thing easy step by step !!!
I admire your patience.
Great job. I like the way you explain everything. Keep making more. I love the way it came out. Thx.
This is such a great tutorial. Thank you so much for taking time and giving us the lesson at a slow space.

Awesome Tutorial was able to apply this to my project with ease
Again as with tutor4u, tutorial was very clear and precise, easy to understand and follow.
In Gimp 10 the flame effect is in filters > render > fractal > flames.
Thanks for this tutorial- I only have trouble with this alpha to channel - Could you make a simple tutorial about channels and layers - since it's hard for newbeginners to follow ...
Wow, great turorial. As Morgan Field said, great pace. Thank you!
Mike Wallace when he said press the control key button where is it at
fantage turquoise The Control key should be at the extreme bottom left and right.
It might have the word "Control" or "Ctrl" on it.
Just wonderful, let it snow , let it snow , let it snow
I can't wait to try this. Thanks, I love your tutorials.
Fantastic just what I needed, and very easy to follow
Brilliant...just what I needed and easy to follow... Thank you
Filters / Render / Nature / Flame didn't work for me in GIMP 2.8.4 The help did note that it's broken for 'larger images'.

Thanks for going step by step that is great for us to follow, Thank you again and God bless you
Very cool. You are crazy talented and perfect for tutoring.
Love your tutorials. I used a longer name, font size of 120, template size 1000x600. And I can't get my flame filter to look like good ice. Any suggestions for that part when you are using a much longer name?
hello, thank you for this tutorial, I able to follow the instructions at last because it is so well explained .thank you so much
You are really the best, could you do some videos explaining all the functions of gimp? Sincerly
Is this the latest version of Gimp? Also, what plugins are you using? I am attempting your tutorials (which are very well done by the way) but I am missing most of the buttons and features you use to change sizes and such of brushes, text, etc. I simply don't have those features. Where can I get them? Thanks!
I did it! I did it! I so did it! Oh I can't believe it!!!!! Yay!! Thank you sooooooo much! God bless you! You are so kind!

That was very ingenious! Clever use of filters. Thank you very much for sharing ;)
