The Gimp Editor.


Question Posted Saturday September 1 2007, 2:48 am

Hey Theymos! I was wondering, how are The Gimp and Photoshop realated? Because I can sort of use Photoshop, but my free trial expired, and I've had The Gimp Forever, so Could you possibly tell me how to make texts with strokes around it and text with backrounds?

sorry if this doesnt make sense ill try to reword it..

If the text in those videos is too small for you to read, you can "download original" on the right. Blink.avi is rather large, so you can download a compressed version here:
