CSI Icons #6: Showcase, Links and Requests

Thanks so much, csifann1! :)

As for the question, for some reason I thought the pictures would end up linked (for some reason I remember them doing that in other threads, but I'm probably remembering wrong). When I posted the pictures, they didn't link, so I realized it was a non-issue.

Edit: Okay, new question: I've been trying to change the background. I select the foreground with the 'select foreground' tool, and then try to dye the background with a gradient tool, but it always ends up transforming the foreground instead. What can you do once selecting the foreground on Gimp? Is it possible to turn the foreground into a separate layer once one has done this? And how do you change the background to another image or just to a solid color?

You're welcome :D

As for your question, I usually don't use the foreground tool, I use this one:
tool.png
, you select the thing you want like this: [sorry for the bad selecting:rolleyes: it's faster :lol:], click on "Select" "From Path", and the thing you want is selected, now you can do whatever, you can "Copy" the thing you want like this: [if you want, I can explain it to you, but it's very easy ;)], you can add textures like this: , I know it looks bad, but with some time you find a great one :p oh, I forgot, to paste the texture there, you have to do "ctrl + I" or go to "select" "Invert" and then "Ctrl + v" or "Edit" "Paste" :)

I hope my explaination it's not a mess, if you didn't understand something, go ahead and ask ;)

Now for make this post more legal: *:p*

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know - we have a great question/tutorial thread located here. It would be a great place for this question so all gimp users can benefit from the answer!

Ups, I already replyed, I totally forgot about the tutorial thread... :scream:
 
Two totally silly icons. I couldn't help myself when I saw this scene again, at least not after wasting so much time on lolcatz. (The text is from lolcatz.)

happyharper, I LOVE lolcats! Nice Greg icons!

MacsLovlyAngl, I like your Sara icons, the first one is really eye catching especially.

These are mine from the Sara Sidle challenge.
