new to GIMP
hi , i''m new to GIMP and this forum. I've got a number of questions to ask.
1. I would like to design a simple stylish text logo and watermark my photo. It's for my business. Is there any simple tutorial? I can invest too much time learning because I am only a normal user without much professional knowledge. 2. Because of consistency and perfect lining, I want to align the logo to the center of the photo (i.e. mid of length and mid of height) . How to make it? Any ways to do it instead of using mouse? It's time-wasting and difficult. Thank You everyone |

To answer your first question...there are so many text logo tutorials out on the web all suited to a particular look/style. So if you are lucky enough to find something similar (or parts similar) that suit your requirements then that would be the best place to start. If time is short then try posting your request in our 'freelance' section. List your detailed requirements and samples of what you are after and see what responses you receive. Keep in mind your logo is your 'brand'. A way people can identify you/your product. Not something to be rushed or trivialised. That being said, logos are generally best created with a vector based graphics program (eg Inkscape etc) which enable you to easily 'scale' your final logo for use in everything from larger posters, brochures, web pages down to business cards etc without loss of quality regardless of the size you use. You can then import the svg file into Gimp to manipulate as required. If you decide on using Gimp (a raster based tool), you risk jagged edges around the letters when scaled bigger/smaller or with different perspectives applied. Water marking is simple in Gimp and there are a few scripts/plugins available to do it in just a few clicks. Question 2 can easily be achieved with the 'alignment' tool ![]() Hope that helps you in someway. |
