Here's my situation, I want to make some transparent Icons or dock images and whatever, but I don't know how, I don't have photoshop, psp or whatever else, i only got a gif converter, paint, and graphics gale free edition, is there a way to pull it off without spending money I don't have?

How to make transparent textures with GimpLink

How? to create translucent images in the GIMPLink

You can always Google Making transparent images in Gimp for more, or google for whatever tutorial you want.

I tried Gimp and found it a bit over my head. It's not laid out to be as user friendly as the stuff you might pay for, but it is a great tool. I believe a few people here use it and turn out some great work.

I tried Gimpshop and had more luck. I might have had more luck if I knew Photosop.
