GIMP was overwhelming until I found your tutorials. I actually enjoy making random things now!

relatable 😂
I used two logos by Nick tutorials to make a tshirt for my work :-)
This tutorial is one of my favorites. Pure design awesomeness. I always thought they would use a plugin or a script or whatever, this felt old school. I'll try it out! Thanks for this, man.
I love how powerful GIMP is but it's very intimidating. Thanks for making everything the experience enjoyable for us Nick!
I cannot stress enough how much your tutorials helped me in the past! Just wanted to thank you for your videos
Thank you Nick! I really appreciate all the GIMP videos you have made, I've gone from hardly being capable of even using paint to making semi-professional type of designs. Thank you again!

same! I've been using GIMP a lot these days and I'm even getting some people asking me to make logos and stuff. I can do all of it because of Nick.
Came here for neon text instruction, due to an offhand comment by Nick I learned that you can customize the letter spacing of any font in GIMP. And here I've been doing each letter manually when I don't like the default spacing. 10/10
Hi Nick, I just wanted to say that your videos have taught me just about everything I know about Gimp and Inkscape, I thank you so much for that :)
Ate que enfim aprendi a fazer um texto somente com o com o contorno... Ótimo tutorial! 👏👏👏
this is one of the best tutorials i have ever seen for Gimp. thank you so much.
love all the tutorials, they help me so much an your instructions are very clear an easy to follow. thank you !!
Most tutorials I watched like this said Gimp in the tittle and then used Photoshop. This was very fun and this 100% Percent works (IF YOU FOLLOW EVERYTHING STEP-BY-STEP AND DON'T MISS ANYTHING)
Nick that was excellent - thanks for your time as always.
Man you are awesome! Thank you so much for your tutorials!!! I am using your design genius to design my own shirts! Thanks a bunch!

Love your tutorials! They've helped me so much all this time!! Thank you for this series!!
I love your tutorial. Thank you so much. Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia.
Awesome and fun tutorial Nick. Cheers
Thanks Nick, I tried to make the neon a little brighter; so before messing with the BG I Edit > Copy Visible, Paste into a new layer and set the Mode to Addition. I am sure there is a better way. But I still like yours better.

Thanks, I did.
made it in a slightly different method but i like how you used 2 blurs at different opacitys.
I am not an artst person at all but this helped me creating a somwhat fancy font. Thanks :)
Quick question, how would you do this with a pre-made logo, I get to the stroke selection part and it just doesn't work. :/
🔥🔥 Thx
Thanks man! The video was very helpful, but i wanted to know if it's possible to save it to a png file. Thanks again! Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you so much
cool tutorial
Love your tutorials. I was wondering however could you now and again just explain what say, a layer mask actually and some of the other tech terms. Thanks
Nice, thumbs UP!
Great Software
Thanks that's help me extremely :-)
G'Mic plugin suite has a good blur for neon colour light glow called Focus Camera Blur , it better than Gaussian almost like lens flare

@Nick I love the neon, but i have a question. Is there a way to separate the neon effect from the black background? I noticed it's really dependent on the background and removing the background takes away the color resulting in only the white remaining. I just want the words, or at times i want a border with the effect. But i don't want it bleeding into my image. I've tried using a different background, but this just bleeds into the entire image. Using a Black background does only do the outline, but then im forced to use the black background. I've seen others ask this, but it was never actually answered from what i can find.
Amazing
Hey nick i love this one!!! Can you maybe please please dona tutorial for do the same but for cam overlays for twitch ? Or how to make a neon on a square i hope you understand what i mean
