Hello all. Noob here, with a question. I've used GIMP just enough to humiliate myself at my lack of knowledge, and am trying to get a handle on the whole image manipulation thing.
For a first project, I'm trying to make a wallpaper for my phone. My idea involves neon text (from the tutorial on this page http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/neon-glow-text) on top of a logo I've found in a jpg, both of those over a starry night sky. The text is no problem. The tutorial referenced above was easy to use and understand. I thought I could apply the same steps to the black-and-white image here http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb261/HHMACHSHOP/THEBOLT.jpg but it didn't work. I suppose the problem is that I'm starting with two different things, i.e. starting from scratch with the text vs trying to manipulate a jpg. I've tried experimenting along the way, but it's hard to experiment when I'm not sure what I'm doing in the first place. I'm sure what I'm trying is possible, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Any ideas or suggestions?
