Dual Film Strip 3 by photomastergreg, on Flickr

I can't resize the images of the dialogs large enough to see the numbers on them. Even on the flickr page they don't enlarge enough.

That's weird. I click on the image and it launches another tab with Flickr. I closed that tab and there is an enlargement view from Gimpchat. One of the icons on the enlargement view is a full screen button. Clicking that made it original size. I will recode the original post to try and fix it.

EDIT: It looks good now in IE. If there are any problems viewing it let me know.

Oops, never mind. I was clicking the wrong icon to enlarge it in here. Duhhhh!!!!

Cool Tutorial ...

You can do it. Just follow the tutorial step by step. if you get stuck, just ask for help

I'm happy to answer any questions at all. I love Gimp and this site!

I wanted to ask a couple questions before I start this tut. Do the photos all need to be the same size? I know I need to crop to what I want, but will use a size template if they need to be exactly the same size. Also, can they be different extension?

Went ahead and did a test. Yes you can use different extensions...and I made all my pics same size. I forgot to make it smaller, so I'll put up a thumbnail because it takes so long to upload. I still am wondering how it what would happen if I didn't make all the pics the same size.

The original images can be different sizes. I love that, because it makes life easy!

cool. thanx for the info!

I just LOVE Photomaster's stuff, it's amazing !! I'm gonna try this tut. myself when I get a moment ))

Once you get thru it the first time and figure out what you are doing, it's really an easy process.

Had to give it a try. Excellent tutorial and very well written, Greg.

Excellent...and you did what I was thinking would be a good idea...to get rid of the white inside the sprocket holes!

I love what you did there fluffybunny. KUDO's
