Yes and Yes.

thanks….i would also like to know how to make the cool sounds of a real light saber without the cling of the plastic light sabers with gimp???? could you make a video for it if it is not to much to ask??

Well, to get the realistic sound of a light saber, you must download a sound track (MP3) that you put in the background of your media (first you have to mute the original sound).

If you want, I can make a tutorial showing how to mute out your original sound and place a different media in the background (like music or in your case, light saber sounds).

Please message me through the YouTube message center if you have any more questions.

P.S
You can’t make sounds with GIMP.

well then the only way to create a movie with this is by animation, colden22… very hard thing to do… you can find the soundeffect almost anywhere on the net. and thanks scrathedchalk i wanted to know how to do this with GIMP… so then just download right? thanks

hey when i open GIMP only one of the windows open.. im missing the side with the layers and the stuff like that.. how do i open it?

If you want, I can make a tutorial on how to create a new dock for the layers palette. Please message me back if you want me to do this.

actually i just found it…. just clicked around and i found the dock thing. but thanks anyway

ty man subscribe forever!

dude, it’s sooo similar to adobe CS3 photoshop..
the only thing is, it’s completely useless, you could might as well take a screenshot of a 90’s star wars game, put it to good use, will ya…
like special effects for .. star wars.

nice tutorial

awesome tutorial man. been looking for a while for a way to make a lightsaber

Great tutorial! 10/10

my lightsaber is different it doesn’t look like that..

i did all the blurring and crap but it’s still just white

did you use the color balance tool?

if yes, then try the colorize tool instead

i make the blur for the 1st layer 5/5 2nd layer 20/20 and 3rd layer 40/40. bigger glow.

thanks now my brother nows how to use this gimp program he really likes new programs on our cumputer

If you’re doing it against a neutral background (Black, White and any shades of grey between) it will stay white when you try colour balance, since there is no colour.

pls help my layer toolbox thing has gone missin how can i get it back

Nice dude
