Yar, I think I finally got it. I edited my most recent post. My brain hurts. I don't know why things like this are so difficult for me. :( You guys are truly great for helping me out. There's no way I'd have figured that out on my own (sadly).

Seems Rhyela got the hang of it... but I might as well post it anyways. :D

How to inverse the image and get it onto the transparent BG (Or at least my method):

Mostly what I needed to say is in the picture. After I hit inverse, I hit copy....

Okay, this is what I did today. The text tool isn't very flashy in GIMP, so I just decided to leave it out. I also don't think I can do borders or anything of the sort. But, hey, this is a bajillion times better than what I was doing before, zomg. You guys really are the best! <3

(Hmm, there's a lot of extra space that's coming in...any idea how to get rid of that? I've tried scaling but it doesn't seem to be making the file smaller.....)

Edit: Okay, let's try this one:

Oh man, that looks awesome Rhyela! I haven't the slightest idea of how to use GIMP, so I'm not sure why it won't let you crop, but I'm sure someone else will know. ^^ Really great work though, especially for your first time! I love Tetsu's pose. <3

:hug: <3 Thank you! I know it's amateur compared to everyone else's, but I'm pretty proud of it, considering it's my first one. I figured out how to crop it down, using the *drum roll* CROP TOOL! Who'd have thought?! :lol:

Wheeee!

Couldn't have done this without everyone's help.

Now that I've successfully turned this thread from "WMV Help" to "Rhyela's Thread of GIMP Fail and Eventual Pseudo-Triumph", we may now continue to our regularly-scheduled programming. :D

So, I vaguely recall reading about this issue before.

My 'Save Sized Screenshot' option seems to have broken itself. I haven't changed anything, but suddenly when I go to save a sized screenshot it just comes out the size of my WMV window instead of the larger size I always input. It was working fine all this time, but suddenly when I go to do one it no longer works. ><

Has anyone else encountered this or know of a way to fix it?

EDIT: Well, I tried .png instead of .bmp and now the sized screenshot works again. Very odd. ._.

Does anyone know a WoW Model Viewer that won't freeze my computer?
