Free Banner Websites !

[brandons]

On my old laptop, I use to make my own banner on paint then upload it to my photo edit software !
There I would presume to add certain image's make them opaque, change colours, and add text to the banner.
But unfortunately I no longer have this software, I got it from a website similar to Morpheus/limewire.
So I am trying to find a website with similar tools, that is not complicated and easy to use ! 

any suggestions ?

use this

pixlr.com/

it is free and kinda like photoshop
really good and useful stuff

or check out something called gimp, google it
it is also free, people love that as well

pixlr is amazing for editing pictures and adding texts to them I must agree,
it is limited if you dont upgrade. But its rather difficult when making a blank banner !
then when you add images to the blank canvas it does not seem to load unto the canvas but in a separate window.

as for gimp it requires you to download it and I'm scared, it wont give my laptop anything
such as a virus, or any other issues will it ?

not if you download it directly from the source -- don't download it from like, cnet or whatever, download directly from the gimp website.

it's a very reputable software; it's been a few years since i've used it, but it's very similar to photoshop and has many of the same or similar capabilities.

ok thank you ill get right on that ! Im on the gimp website right now , just wasnt sure if I was going to give my computer a cold thanks !

brandons,
I locked your other thread as it was a duplicate of this. Did you try Gimp?  If you are having difficulties with Gimp just tell us what you are trying to do and we can help you. Gimp is really a very powerful program considering it is free.

Are you using a Windows PC? I've discovered Paint.NET. I'm used to using PhotoShop and this one offers some good features for a free porogram

thank you, Im thinking of just getting Photoshop and paying the monthly fee,
its just very difficult I created a banner though already its just kinda bleh!
but I guess it will do for now
