Re: I need help with GIMP.
File > New > set your dimensions (360x480 is fine) > click ok
Now paint with the paint tool and pencil tool. To change the colour, simply click the black colour selector and change it to a colour you want.
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

After you finish editing or creating your image, it depends on whether you have Gimp 2.6 or 2.8.
In 2.6, choose File > Save as > then type the file name as "filename.gif"
In 2.8, choose File > Export > then type the file name as "filename.gif".
If you want to edit a gif file, choose File > Open > then choose your gif file.

Ok so if I edit my icon, do I just edit it and export as .gif? I got 2.8

Open a GIF file and look to the Layers window. The frames in the GIF will each be a separate layer. Select the layer you want to edit and hide all other layers.

Re: I need help with GIMP.
And then to save it so it animates itself...?
At least 60 seconds have to pass between posts. Please wait a little while and try posting again.

As long as you have more than one layer on your image you will see it.
File > Export > set filename to "filename.gif" and click ok > You see a window asking if you want to save as animation. Say yes. > done.
