I'm just going through the process of making some video tutorials for GIMP, so if anyone wants some specific ones then just ask and I'll post them.

I've only got 10mb limit on Mint upload service but have a uTube account if need be, obviously the ogg videos will be superior quality.

He's a quick one I did showing how to use the selection tool and mask to make a picture like a frame.

How to do special effects like Neon Glows.

NOTE: Please install 7z first because it's the best file compression (sudo apt-get install p7zip)

Half-Left, thanks for your help on the other post. Can you show how to do the reflection in water effect like the one in that (below) picture in Gimp? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=799439

I still have the impression that only Photoshop can do it.

Put the vids on youtube and you then alow V.O.D apps like miro to access them.
Thats the old alien (xfiles) glow script isn't it or did you go the long way around?

All done manually(like the video shows), no point in using scrips to show people how to do this effect. It's on uTube, I have a account.
