Personal Banners?

Fedaykin · #1 09-22-2001, 02:30 AM

Giday all Oddites.

I am particularly impressed with the banners that appear at the bottom of topics and replies. I would like to know how to do this. However, I am competent at surfing the net, but I'm no computer expert by any means. Could someone please advise me on what to do, is there software I need to do this, etc etc ?

Oops I hope this is the right place to ask.

Cheers Boojum.

Hello, boojum! It's not necessary to be a comuter expert to work with pictures, you just need to get the right softwares, a few tutorials, and get started.

The most famous image editor is ADOBE PHOTOSHOP, used even by professionals like the Oddworld Inhabitabts artists.
You can find a shareware software very simmilar to that, called PAIT SHOP PRO.
However, I use a free software called THE GIMP. It's a simple and powerfull tool. You can find everything about THE GIMP
HERE

Just to start, read carefully these two topics:
ABE BABE's banner requests
and
Sydney's banners requests

My banner, I did it myself, for instance. But you can ask Abe babe or sydney to make one for you, if you like

Thank you Lampion.
I down loaded Gimp but it wont run. Even got the local puter wiz kid to have a look, and he says that the run commands are missing. So Im going to be lazy and ask Abe Babe or Sydney to do one for me.
Once again thank you for your time and effort.
Cheers Boojum.

Did you download the window version? f you downloaded the Linux version, it will certanly not work in WIndows Operating Systems.

Well, I would like to ask for one to be made for me.... but I'm afraid I don't want to sound rude, which I usually end up doing.

Thanx Lampion.
Im not sure which version it was, because I deleted it after 'The Whiz Kid' said it wouldn't work. But I've been back to the site and found the windows versions and will download it when I have more time. But for now I've asked Abe Babe to make me one.

Cheers and Thank you.
