    Ahhh, GIMP? Coolio.

    Just for future referrence: Always post results after every step. This way the reader gets a sense of where they should aim for.

    Keep it up.

    Dude, awesome! I'm going to try it now. Can you just download GIMP or do you have to buy it?

    The size I use,and used for this tut is 450 by 150.
    I have also heard 450 by 125 is good.
