    Hey man, since you are the Gimp Guru (like blender guru), I'd like to request you to make CZcams thumbnails and tutorials using GIMP - Free software inspired by/similar to other really big youtubers and comparing them side by side. Usually when someone is starting to make CZcams videos and thumbnails they'd go for similar thumbnails of their favorite youtubers like MrBeast, Pewdiepie etc. and it would be a good idea for your channel as well and people who are coming from photoshop and people who are new to GIMP and Photoshop in general. Thank you.

    Hi. Your ideas and outlay are fantastic. I have been able to update many of my thumbnails to a higher level. But your video is hard to follow. I had to stop and rewind countless times. I watch it on my tablet and then reproduce it on my laptop. What would help to make it easier to follow your video are:
    Make a circle around your mouse pointer or make it in another way easier to follow.
    Go way slower when you click on things and move between menus. (That way people do not need to pause the video as much to keep up). You can hover on stuff for a second before clicking or moving to another menu to give people time to follow you.
    Put large text on the screen when you say a shortcut.
    Consider telling people how to create something (always assume it is a newbie watching). You selected a color pallet that was custom-made, but I had to go learn how to make it as it was my first time using gimp.
    If you can, zoom in on the recording when you select something. It may look good on a laptop, but if you view something on a tablet or cellphone, it is almost impossible to see what you click on.
    These are just what would have made it easier for me to follow your video and would have made your video super in my view.
    All the best and thank you for sharing the video.

    Hey! I've been using gimp on and off for years but jsut starting playing around again (not for any reason. I just like following your tutes!) but one thing I do notice is that you use paths quite a bit, even when stroking a selecting. What's the difference between Alpha to selection > new layer > Right click > edit > stroke selection? -

    • @DaviesMediaDesign
      @DaviesMediaDesign  Před 3 lety

      You have to change the font size of the selected text using the Text Toolbox or Tool Options to scale it up or down without converting the text layer to a standard pixel layer. Otherwise, simply use the scale tool on the text and it will scale up or down (though you have to grab the scale tool from the Toolbox manually if you have an active text box).
