Basically, I have noticed people will occasionally have a few questions about photoshop, GIMP, etc... and the only place they have to ask them are new threads.

So naturally, i thought, "why isn't there a Q&A thread?". Well, here it is. I don't know if i can truly call it official, but sticky pl0x.

I'll start it off.

In GIMP, i am having a couple problems.
1) First of all, i run on a mac, so I need X11. Because of this, every time i want to start GIMP, i have to click X11, then gimp. This is kind of annoying. Is there any way to avoid this?
2) Another thing that is annoying is that because gimp runs in the three separate windows, i have to click on each window twice (once to select the window, and the second to select whatever tool/brush/etc... i was going to use) in order to do something.
3) Lastly, starting like an hour ago, GIMP just opens, sits there for a second, and then closes before the windows show up. This began while I was making a new sig, and GIMP unexpectedly quit. I was annoyed because i hadn't saved yet, so i just closed my laptop. Anyone know any answers to any of these? (Answered)

Feel free to begin asking your own questions.

You asked that in your "official question and answer thread" WITHOUT having tried to restart your comp? Isn´t that a little...?

lol i guess that was a little dumb. you never think to restart when you have a mac. anyway, i got it started. so, i have another one. how come nobody does this text effect? seems popular on guildinn. http://www.guildinn.com/forum/video-tutorials/139-photoshop-basics-video-tutorial.html
its a link to a thread, but someone posted at some point down in the page called "the beast" just type it in your ctrl+F and go to the second find.

You have to click stuff to open GIMP? I put it on the bar at the bottom and click it and it opens...

Like cmpr, al I do is click on it and it opens. but like he said, I think it does need to be on the program bar at the bottom for it to all open at once.

I just have two windows when running GIMP, but Ive forgotten about the double clicking, I just kinda do it automatically.

Yeah i found out that I do have X11. But I still only have to click GIMP to bring GIMP up. Not X11 then GIMP. Yeah I'm running the latest version of gimp.

How can I add video clips into a photoshop signature? Is there a way of doing this without imageready? Would it be easier with Gimp?

... how do I do it? XD

Just a guess but I would say save the clip and the open it in PS. I don't use PS so that might not work. I would say make your sig, copy it onto GIMP and then put the clip on it.

Q: Anyone know a Good site for CD4's?
