pmmsn | | Getting started / Step by step / FAQ (31st Dec 07 at 4:06am UTC) | | Updated: 12/31/2007
I thought I'll start growing the discussion board. So first it'll need some FAQ and help links.
Getting started
Free graphic programs
- Gimp - I recommend this for free programs. You could make a lot of great graphics even though it's a free program.
- Microsoft Paint - Pixel art.
Trial programs - (test before you buy)
- Photoshop - Most recommended program to use. This program have the most tools you can use then any others.
- Paint Shop Pro - Lesser tools you could use then Photoshop.

Step by step
Installing a font
Go to:
Start -> My computer -> C: -> Windoms -> Fonts -> Drag the font file you downloaded into the folder.
The file must be unzipped.
Short cut to the folder
Start -> Run.. -> Put in: C:WindowsFonts -> okay
Installing a brush
Photoshop - Start -> My computer -> C: -> Programs -> Adobe -> Photoshop __ (version you have) -> Preset -> Brushes
Drag the brushes you have in it... must be unzipped though.

pmwww | | Re: Getting started / Step by step / FAQ (31st Dec 07 at 6:04am UTC) | | I'll ask Ross to sticky this when I wake up.  [If he hasn't done so by that time already.]
Off to bed for me; goodnight all. [Well, morning.  ] | |
