I was wondering how you make em look all cool like you edit it or something. Do you use photoshop? Cause like hurrikayne and XBillabong have sweet screenies, but idk how to make the backgrounds change and the colors and crap... i tried it on "paint" and it didnt work Please help!

(another question I have is how do you like cut things out of an image and just save the cut out part?)

In order to edit your pictures, you'll need some type of image manipulating software. Photoshop is definitely an option, but it's expensive.

Here are some free alternatives:

Click here to download GIMP! (http://www.gimp.org)
Click here to download Paint.net! (http://www.getpaint.net/download.html)

Now, once you download one or the other, you'll need to learn how to use them:

good luck.


oh and for the cutting part...
it's called cropping.
start>paint>image button at top>crop.
put the crop square around what you want to keep.
then when it is around it, right click in the square, then click copy.
then hold Ctrl and press Z until everything is gone.
then hold Ctrl and press V once, and there it is.
save that, and then you can open and edit it on GIMP.

i use gimp for all my edits and they turn out just fine and im pretty sure thats what billa uses to

Don't try to cut things out on Paint, it can't handle transparency. Also, don't save your renders (cut out things) as JPEG on Gimp because JPEG can't handle transparency either.
