I can't get the hang of GIMP

How do I do a vertical linear gradient?
And how do I put in a gradient at all??

Add to a layer?
Do you mean put it on a new layer?

For some reason, the FG to transparent isn't working.

Re: I can't get the hang of GIMP

I don't understand why GIMP doesn't have fill with gradient... its a great program anyways especially for the price... $0

Re: I can't get the hang of GIMP

fill with gradient is basically something exclusive to Scratch in my experience
you can select a section and then fill the selection with a gradient

I love gimp. Shall I create a series of tutorials? Go to the gimp site and check out the tutorials. Just go through apl of them for fun, then its not too hard.

Re: I can't get the hang of GIMP

Create a new layer over in the right window. Then go into layer, alpha, add alpha channel. Then try the gradient and transparency.

You just might want to check out GimpKnowHow on Youtube for tutorials.

P.S. No, I'm not him, I just think he's really good.
