Title: Gimp
Post by: mckinneyc on July 29, 2013, 12:33:10 PM

Does anyone here use Gimp?

I have been using it to add motion blur and fog effects to my latest images however trying to figure out a way to add billowing smoke to a picture and meeting little success

You could go to the adobe site, and download free CS2 photoshop. THey have put it on there for free.

I grabbed gimp to have an art pogram to work with again.  I tried checking out textures with it.  all you get is the Alpha channel...everything else is blank.

Hey guys,

thanks for the posts. I actually use GIMP and PS interchangeably. There are a huge number of free resources out there on the net for both, deviantart is a good place to look
