I'd suggest going to the club section- there's a GIMP users club there, with some good tutorials. I haven't used paint for banners, so I don't know the differences beween the two. If I think of a good way to explain it, I'll let you know!

Try searching LiveJournal for tutorials..I think I've found a few good gimp ones.Gimp is a tough program,but once you get the hang of it,it gives pretty good results.Try adding layers and fading to blend(click the layers tab at top left),or blend the way a photoshop tutorial says to blend..it works!

The club isn't much help...I posted a week or so ago looking for help and haven't gotten anything yet...but don't let that stop you! Maybe they'll respond to you and it will help us both! (I don't understand the layering thing either...)

I'm still learning GIMP too, so I haven't been able to post many tips in the club. lol

I can teach the basics,although I'm not very good....

If you need help finding them,dafont.com has tons,and here has great LOTRs ones.Also googling what your looking for brings up great ones.
Anyway,heres how you get them into gimp:
download the font you want

unzip it (click on it,extract files).To do this,you will need an unzipping program.7-Zip is free,and a download,or you may already have win-zip on your computer.

Now double click the unzipped file,and click cut.

Go to your control panel,and the folder called "fonts".

click paste.

In the fonts folder,at the top,click "install new fonts",click the fonts you just downloaded,and click OK.

Now close that down,open up gimp,and your text,and check to make sure the fonts have been installed.Arwen Undomiel has instructions under Media-Fonts,if you need pictures.

This also works for downloading brushes,but they have to be in gbr format (try deviant art-gimp brushes)...This is how I install brushes,and fonts.

Hope this helps,and if it doesn't work,post again,and I'll try to help.

Hmmmm..Try refreshing gimp (I can't remember what its called,but its at the top,like refresh scripts,or something like that)...
If that doesn't work,maybe the files weren't really unzipped (Do they have a gold line like thing across the files.If they are a square that says TT,they're unzipped)....
Also,read what A.U. under Media says..its a big help....
Try checking that,and if it doesn't work,post again,and I'll try to help on Friday...
