I don't use GIMP so as I've said before I'm not so sure how to do certain things. If you can find the crop tool though, select the area you want to keep then okay it. You should be left with the image rather than the image with the white box left over then . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that worked, I just search google for the images I want. Most people probably use Planet Renders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffTech Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Try hosting your img off site, like on photobucket, or somthing similar... & I get most of my renders from http://www.planetrenders.net (as Fizz said) & I get most of my (gaming) stocks from IGN.

BiffTech Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 You're using CS, arn't you? If you are, open the img in CS, then click on file again (top line menu), then click on save as. Choose png or jpeg. This might work, but i'm not sure... i've had lots of issues in the gif files lol. Actually, i'll try & convert it for you. If I can, i'll post it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozza Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 cool i do photobucket and ill checkout Planet Renders, also i got a diff image i was messing with but it exceeds the limit on the site.. can i make it a smaller file somehow? sorry for all the questions Theres multiple ways of doing it.. Either save it differently , so as Biff said into a JPEG or PNG. The other is a lot complicated and you'll need InDesign and it'll have to be saved as a PDF, which doesnt help. So either chnage the save file or you're just gonna have to take some of the images out which will probably be the reason its got so big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffTech Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Are you using the img code, or direct link? Cos you need to use the img code. [*IMG]http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/gungalicious/companioncubegreen-8.png[/img*] That's the code you'll need, in the ^ box ^ without the * at the beginning & end Also, here's the edit I did http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb213/gungalicious/companioncubegreen-8.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffTech Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 On PB, you can make it so you have lots of code options when you view your img's. They usually appear just under the thumbnail of the img. Just choose the code you want, & copy & paste it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonpwnr99 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 ok cool ill remember that, so is there a way i can go about makeing the file smaller in GIMP ? the other image is 339.0 KB ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffTech Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 i'm sure there is, but i'm completely unfamiliar with gimp, so I don't really know how you'd do it, soz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonpwnr99 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 thats cool, you were saying you used CS, is that free or do i have to pay to get that program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffTech Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 CS is actually very expensive... I mean it's a stupid amount of money! lol But, there are ways around it Unfortunately, i'm not allowed to tell you how'd you go about getting it, on these forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
