Ahh, so glad to see this here. I wanna learn GIMP since I'm becoming more and mre dependent on Open Source solutions.
Heres one I made:

For making realistic continents.
Good for learning layers, renders, and paths. And it looks pretty sweet IMO.:D
That looks cool, I'll try it out when I get a chance.Zitat:

Step #1
Before you add a render to the image you are amking, have a background first. There are an infinite number of ways to make a unique background, so knock yourself out. I'll stick with something very basic for the tutorial.
Step #2
Add a new layer. To do so, just click "layers", then "new layer". Make sure it is transparent. Once you've added a new layer, paste the image you want to use into your image. Since you haven't rendered the image yet, it will now allow you to see your original background that you made, but do not worry.
Step #3
Now, use the magic wand tool to get rid of the background on the image you pasted. Just click with the wand on the image’s background (the dark blue behind Pac-Man in my example) and drag until only the desired image (Pac-Man) is not selected. Once most of the background is selected, just cut it (go to “edit”, and then choose “cut”). After cutting, you should now see the background you created in Step #1, as well as the image you wanted to keep (so I see my original background and Pac-Man). If small pieces of the picture’s background (the dark blue behind Pac-Man) are still left, you can do a couple things. If they aren’t near the image (Pac-Man), just erase them. If they are close to the image, zoom in and use the magic wand tool to cut them out once again. It is OK if there are pieces of the background right next to the image though (so if there’s a small border of blue around Pac-Man); this will be worked out in the next step.
Step #4
Now select the blur tool. It looks like a raindrop on the Gimp menu. Before you use it, make sure it is on ‘blur’, and not ‘sharpen’. You can double click on the raindrop on the Gimp menu to make sure it is on blur. Use the blur tool in any place surrounding the image (Pac-Man) that looks as if the other background (dark blue) is still there. In my example, I used the blur tool on Pac-Man’s feet, legs, and his glove on the right-hand side. Be sure to select a normal brush (the basic circle is just fine) to blur, and, depending on what you’re blurring, probably somewhere between the sizes of 3x3 and 9x9. In my example, I used the 5x5 circle brush, which is what I generally use to blur. Once you blur a couple things, you’ll be able to tell which size you prefer.
Step #5
Now that you have successfully cut out an image, proceed to finishing up whatever you may be doing. Thank you for reading my tutorial, and I hope it has helped.

after you have your rendered image....
1. open up a blank canvas about 400 X 120
2. fill it with black
3. brush around using some white brushes then brush a little more but in black this time
4. (optional) go to layers | colors | invert
5. place your render where you want it
6. go to layers | colors | colorize and put the bg to a color that matches your render
7. Now add a few C4D's behind the render setting them at screen, overlay, or dodge
8. add a C4D ontop of the render so that it makes it look sparkly
9.(optional) desaturate the C4D you put ontop of your render and then colorize it to match you render, you can also do the same to the other C4D's
10. then flattten the image
11. next set your foreground and back ground color to 00097e & b0ff63
12. duplicate the layer and go to filters | colors | map | gradient map
13. set the top layer at color at 20-40%
14. flatten the image again
15. then set your foreground and background colors to ff6363 & 9a8cff
16. duplicate the layer and do another gradient map.
17. next do the same as steps 13. & 14.
18. now find two colors that match the render and repeat steps15-16
19. Now duplicate the layer again and go to filters | artistic | softglow
20. set the softglow layer to screen and mess with the opacity.
(steps 21-25 are optional)
21.now lets mess around some more...flatten the image and then duplicate the layer again
22. grab the vine brush and brush all over the duplicated layer
23. set that layer at overlay, varying opacity. flatten the image
24. select a rectangular a rea covering almost all of the sig and press ctrl+I
duplicate the layer
25. next go to filters | distorts | video | and select 3x3 . press ok. then lets set the layer at soft light at 50% opacity.
flatten the image
26.Now you can add text and a border.
27. and then your'e done

Great thread, I love the GIMP. I've never used PS and I am actually using the portable GIMP since I don't have admin privies, but it does the job for me.
If you had to choose between GIMP and Photoshop, i would pick photoshop.Zitat:
