    Hi, just want to say thank you for this video. I have been able to make covers for at least three or four of my books thanks to your video. Whenever time passes and I write a new book only to realize that I have forgotten how to make a cover, I find myself coming back to this same video.
    Very grateful for this.

    Thank you so much! I have been messing around with GIMP for ages, but never getting that "polished" look. You answered SO many questions I've had in ONE video. I have to go practice now, thanks again!

    Subscribe to this channel is a no-brainer. One of the best tutorials I've seen in a while. You're a gifted artist and an excellent instructor. Thanks for sharing your blessings. I've never heard of GIMP before today, but upon completion of a new book, I got the idea to help my 10y/o daughter learn to edit and format manuscripts. Honestly, she's excited to work with daddy, but I was concerned that the tedium might turn to disinterest. This app, which is affordable, along with your video is right on time! Please forgive my lack of brevity, but it's a real challenge for kids to find a vocation that is rewarding. I appreciate you.

  • @Bryntjones
    @Bryntjones Před 7 měsíci

    For some reason, when I set my background to the size canvas I want, then add a picture and try to scale it, it changes the scale of the background, thus, destroying the canvass size I'm trying to achieve. Any idea why? I'm on a mac.

    • @sjmyst1
      @sjmyst1 Před 2 lety +3

      I think I figured out my problem. I needed to uncheck "Use tool groups" under Edit->Preferences on the 'Toolbox' section. Then, I had to go to the Windows menu and open the Layers and Paint windows.

    On this Black Friday, I thought I'd start my book cover and am more frustrated than overjoyed. My transparent background is half the size of yours, so when I bring over my main picture, I have transparent at the top and white at the bottom. Secondly, I cannot change my transparent background to black. When I click on the tool I need I get that tiny no sign, (Cirlce with slash thru it).

  • @littletodger7008
    @littletodger7008 Před rokem +1

    Too fast. You click on a tool with a cursor that is near on impossible to see on screen - then you say, "click on the X tool." I'm busy looking for the X tool, and you have already made the move. Can you highlight the cursor and pace the delivery so that you say what you are going to do next then do it deliberately and slowly?
