Images rendered in GIMP using Jasc Animation Shop 3.11. (This animation (above) tends to have problems loading from time to time.) Images rendered in GIMP and animated using GAP. 4 frames at (250ms) GAP is (50ms slower than JAS) for those who noticed the speed difference. Added a colored background. Why no tutorial?

GIMP: Animated Brushes
These three brushes were actually Paint Shop Pro “picture tubes” before I converted them to GIMP animated (*.gih) brushes. Feel free to download them from the GIMP Extras Archives. The first brush was called 3D Orange in PSP, and it makes a sort of balloon shape. Check out the image below to get an idea [...]
If you use Paint Shop Pro and are a Kansas City Chiefs fan, these new shapes are for you. One shape for the “CHIEFS” text, and a second of the Arrowhead logo. You can grab the *.pspshape files from the PSP Shapes Archives. Enjoy! Tweet This Post Buzz This Post Delicious Digg This Post Stumble [...]

They posted four of their photo-editing YouTube tutorials, links provided below: Creating An Atmospheric Mood Displacement Maps for Depth Effects [...]
While browsing the Gimp Plugin Registry I ran across a script filter created by kward1979uk, who based the script on a tutorial he found on a GIMP forum. I was impressed with the effect and thought of many ways this could be utilized graphically. I also wanted to be able to create the same effect [...]

In the latest versions of Paint Shop Pro they have updated the function to layer masks and added a more powerful function called adjustment layers. In principle, I understand what the masks or [...]
While looking for some graphics to create shapes from, I ran across Spraypaintstencils.com (link opens in new window). I was surprised to learn they take requests for stencils. A majority of these stencils can be used to create PSP shapes. Here are a couple of examples below: Be sure to check out Spraypaintstencils,com and look [...]
