This happened to me before also, you have to login 2 times in a row and it should let you log in.

Try googling, adding brushes to gimp 2.6. You may have to go to Edit --> preferences in GIMP itself and create a folder somewhere on your computer with the new brushes and find that folder through the preferences. That's the only other way I could think of.

c4ds are pretty easy to find. You can find them by searching for the on deviant art, google, and I think Planet renders may have some.

Once you've downloaded the brushes you should click start --> My Computer --> C: --> GIMP (Mine says GIMP 2.0) --> Share --> Gimp --> 2.0 --> Brushes. Just cut and paste them there. Then open Gimp. If you already have it opened, you need to close it and reopen it. be sure to save your work. If you don't add a .jpg, .gif, .png, etc... it will automatically save it as a gimp file and when you open it all your layers will be just how you left them.

You should really try some Tutorials. That's how I got better. I'll share some links and you can check out and try what they have there. You don't have to use the same picture as them, but you can apply those tutorials to the images you have been working on.

Tutorials are a big key when you are first starting out on any design program. Even if you have used the program before, they are a great refresher and can teach you new things. Please use these to help in you. Check out my Design Team App. I started without tutorials and now I'm using them. See how much they helped me. They can do the same for you too. That is why they are there. :)

Well I'm not a complete expert, but I will help you the best I can. ^^ I know Gimp is very very confusing.

YEAH I HAD AN APP UP BACK IN 2006... oops sorry caps but yeah hey check my app =) did an update on one of my sigs i posted before

yeah. to be honest back then i think i got accepted to quickly. im just on the 3rd page when i got accepted. while i see mufasa have 32 pages and is still rolling. but i read ALOT of tutorials and get a feel of what every designer made and just pull out ideas.

oh yeah i tried doing the homefront sig....well redoing but i kinda hate it. cause of its render being so plain and colors are so far out. i think in some occassions its hard to develop a signature. when i started i sticked to anime cause they are flat and easy to work with(imo).
idk if you wana start messing with stuff you can try this anime girl.

good flow and its an anime girl. just a suggestion

I was thinking either re-sizing or something like sharpening it. Thats how i got the test image from this week to look better, i just sharpened a couple times and it brought the quality of the image up.

What was it?

yep it's me hows it going man

If you use gimp make sure you hold SHIFT when doing the shrinking

Yea i saw that...

Did you make the render bigger then it was in its ORG state ?

Yes, but not as bad as the other one

it could be the re-sizing.

its just like an instant msging kind of thing like msn. but you can use a headset or mic for your computer to make calls aswell, download that and we can show eachother our screens and maybe i can help.

i save as .png, maybe its just something ur doing, do you have skype?

nice concept but its kinda low quality... as in the fact that its all blurry

loke is my new favorite word.
