    Oh I see it, I opened one file, and yeah youre right. It is in the file menu. Thanks
    Good news for me, Im actually using GIMP and working it properly! I put the DBZ Cell (layer) onto the other background and now am trying other stuff..

    Also a noob question, how do you increase the font of your text in GIMP? :-[

    EDIT: Nver mind, Font size was right in front of me.

    Are you using Gimp or what? Because if you add a Alpha layer, you can just rub it out with a eraser, or use the fuzzy selection tool.

    Re: The Signature Thread

    Yeah, Im finally using GIMP ;D

    But you know in GIMP when something is blank, its kinda like a checkerboard with squares black and white?

    I need to do that checkered pattern (or basically nothing) in that blue area... I just want his legs sticking out of the graphic. Can someone help me out?

    Yeah that's transparency, go Layer, Transparency, Add Alpha Channel. Now you should be able to select fuzzy selector tool, select the blue area, hit delete, and hopefully it will be a nice clean look around the legs. If not, use a eraser and do it manually. It must be saved as a .png or .gif for the transparency to work. There may be another way to do this, but this is the only way I know.

    if the background is transparent you don't need to add an alpha channel; there already is one. And personally, I'd just use the 'color to alpha' feature.

    Not too bad for a first try, get some better text though. To resize, go Image, Scale Image. It will keep it in proportion.
