graphic help..?

Okay so i use GIMP and i've seen so many people have those pic's of there Bv character that's cut out... Is there a way to cut out images using gimp? And also, How do i add an image to the Background that i want? If you can help, i'd be so thankful! Thank you!!

To cut out a charrie -

1. Take a picture of you in BABV on a SOLID COLORED background, otherwise it will not work well.
2. Open the picture of you on Gimp. Than go to Layers>Transparency>Add Alpha Channel
3. Click the Magic wand tool (It looks like a stick with a little yellow spark at the top) then click the parts you want cut out, then press DELETE on your keyboard.
4. Save it as a PNG. or it will NOT be transparent.

To put a your person on a background -

1. Take the background you like and open it on GIMP
2. Than go to File>Open as layers and open a TRANSPARENT (that means cut out) picture of you.
3. Use the move tool to move it where you want

Than its done! :) Hope I helped!

okay here are the steps

1. open gimp and then open your picture you want like this


2.make sure it is a certain person and not like a blend i'm using a babv charatcer for an example (:

3. get your scissors i circled them in the picture (:


4. Now cut around the picture and then all the way to the ball where you started, and then click on the middle of picture so that the lines appear

5.after you do step 4, click on your left right mouse button and then click copy

6. open a new layer


7.make sure it is the same size as the picture by leaving the number size as it is, and then click on the advanced buttton and then click transparency

8. this is what the transparent new tab should look like


9.then you click your left right mouse button again and then press paste into,


10. now go to layers; and then click anchor


11.now here are the resaults!! xD oh yeah and make sure to save as png!! for best archiving pics when you post 'em


Thanks again!
