![]() ![]() Clicking on that, you’ll get a download, which will be a compressed file. Then, clicking on that link, you’ll be taken to a page where you’ll scroll down until you see a download link. To find it, either CLICK HERE, or just search for this: With all that settled… where do we start? Well, I’ll trust you to already have gimp installed, so now it’s a matter of installing the one script we’ll be needing for this: Export Layers. Maybe you can make it out, but a question you should ask yourself is ‘can anyone else’? GIMP AND SCRIPTS ![]() Now, this is a personal tip/opinion, but I would refrain from making icons under 85x85px, as then they start getting too small to see any sort of detail, especially if you plan to add any sort of filter/overlay. ![]() The most common rp icon dimension is 100 by 100 pixels, and that’s what size we’ll be using throughout this tutorial, though by personal likes you can have any size of icons, and they don’t even have to be square.Ī couple examples from my own collection: So, for icons, you’ll want to have one that’s under 300 px in width and… as tall as you want, really, though the whole thing of the image not taking up too much post space still applies! DIMENSIONS Now, maybe you want something full width, something that can catch people’s eyes - like the header I have at the top of this post - and you can definitely do that! And the dimensions I’d recommend for that would be to start with a 540 width and then work out how tall you want your image to be - which can be the trickiest part since you don’t want the image to take up too much post space.īut that’s not what this tutorial is about! So anything below that, from 100 to 200 to 299 is fine! ![]() So from what point does Tumblr stretch out images? 300px. Well, for images that happens because after a certain size Tumblr goes from keeping the image’s original size to stretching it out to fit the post’s width for … some reason, don’t ask me why. TUMBLR AND IMAGE SIZESĮver notice how sometimes you want to add an image to tumblr, only for it to be stretched out and gross - like what happens when you add a gif to a post, for example, which blows up whatever imperfections they have or the fact that they just aren’t that high of a resolution and thus quality. So, under the cut, I will explain some things about tumblr and dimensions, what script you’ll be needing for this, how to set up your working area, how to make icons and how to save them. Sold yet? Well, it is also expandable and has a bazillion (a round up) of scripts to be downloaded for whatever it is your editing needs… need. In fact, even in this one tutorial where I’ll be teaching you the basics, I’ll tell you to download one script which will make saving the icons we’ve made way, way easier. Now, what is GIMP? It’s a free image editing program. Hopefully, you can take a few tips from here! Double-click the images to apply the crop, and then save the results.Have you ever wanted to make your own icons, only to face how every tutorial out there seems to be based on photoshop and expects you to have it? Have you figured out a way to make them even so, but are looking for something that can make the job just a tad bit easier? The aim is to exclude the areas around the outer edges that are too distorted to correct properly. Select the Crop tool from the Toolbox, and then click and drag your cursor over the part of the image with the least distortion. Once again, use the preview window to determine the optimal amount of adjustment.Ĭlick "OK" when you are satisfied with the preview window to apply the correction to your photo. The amount of correction depends on the severity of the distortion, so use the preview window to judge the results.Ĭlick and drag the "Edge" slider to the left or right, depending on the distortion around the edges of your photo. Press "Ctrl-O" in GIMP, and then select the photo with the distortion that you want to correct.Ĭlick "Filters" from the menu bar, select "Distorts," and then click "Lens Distortion" from the drop-down list to open the Lens Distortion filter menu.Ĭlick the "Preview" check box if it is not enabled by default so you can see a preview of the adjustments you are making before applying them to your image.Ĭlick and drag the "Main" slider to the left while checking the results in the preview window. ![]()
