If you would like to get rid of unneeded borders, pay close attention to this Tut. ![]() First of all you need to open your render. I have a render of Aang because I enjoy the show "Avatar the Last Airbender." ![]() Get out the Magic Wand tool by clicking on it. ![]() Click on whatever extra space you have, and you will get a dotted border around it. ![]() Go to "Select --> Invert" on the toolbar above. ![]() Cut it out. (Edit --> Cut) ![]() You will have the entire image cut out, just what you need. ![]() I decided I would put mine in a signature, you can do whatever you want though. (File --> Open) Be sure you go to "Advanced Options" and click on "Transperancy" in the "Fill With" portion. ![]() Go to your signature and press down "Ctrl+V" and get the image in your signature. ![]() Now press down "Ctrl+L" to open up the layers menu. Ignore the little red box in the corner. Click on the lower layer. ![]() Choose the paint bucket and pick your color to be white. ![]() Fill in everything. ![]() Don't worry about everything going white. Just drag that layer under your layer that has Aang in it. ![]() I moved Aang over between steps. Don't worry about that. Now you will see something a little bit like this. ![]() Now choose the pencil tool. Stay at the color white. Click where the size of the pencil is. Choose the smallest circle. ![]() Zoom in to 800x, you can use the list below the image. ![]() Now just click where the annoying border is. It will remove it. ![]() Zoom out when you're done. Save it and you're done. You can substitute colors for different images. Use ink dropper to choose the extra colors. |

Wait. I don't use GIMP. That's why it's so confusing. |

LOL, same here. I might use GIMP some time though, it seems all right. I've actually tried it out once, but it was kind of confusing, especially since I was so used to Photoshop. Anyway, nice tutorial, I'll come straight back here once I give GIMP another try. |

Wait when using the pencil tool you have to manually get rid of each pixel of background? Wouldn't that take forever? |
