Quick question...

Ok, so I mad e a picture in GIMP, and uploaded it to MediaFire.

How do I import it into Scratch? I can't find the file when I'm looking through my pictures.

I saved it, but never closed GIMP. Could that be why?
I couldn't upload it to MediaFire without it on my computer.

Re: Quick question...

Well, you don't need to upload it to Mediafire to use in Scratch for one... are you sure you're looking in the same place you saved it, and saved in the proper format?

Add either .gif or .png or any other picture file  type to the end of the picture's name  wink

Example: Art.gif

Save/export as a PNG. They usually have the best picture quality.   smile

Unless you don't like quality, then do gif. Or jpg.

png is superior to both those formats, except gif for animations and jpeg for photos
