Btw keep posting some good tutorials out here...

Where can I create a folder in imageshack ????

^^Well said but I love photobucket..and AFAIK it doesn't provide thumbnail...

Useful Thing to do with Paths (GIMP):-

http://gimpology.com/uploads/476_314_1_thumb.png

In this tutorial, we will focus on how to change selections to paths and paths to selections, and more importantly, why we care about doing so.
Let�s start with a 250�250 and a white background. Now use the lasso selection tool to carve out a part of the image. The edge you are creating could be the edge of a piece of torn paper.
http://merit.oryo.us/i/10/scrn1.png
Now create a new transparent layer and call it paper. Use it and fill in the selected region with a light blue (#4a7bf6).
http://merit.oryo.us/i/10/scrn2.png
At this point, we want to save the selection. After all, it�s a bit complicated and would be hard to reproduce. Who knows, we might need it down the road. To save the selection, use the select menu and hit �To Path�.
Hmm. What happened? Nothing? Well, it might seem that way, but we�ve successfully saved the selection to a path. To see it, open up the path dialog from the dialog menu. You should see our new path listed.
http://merit.oryo.us/i/10/scrn3.png
Let�s turn back now to our image and clear the selection, (Select > None). As you can see, we still have some work to do here. First, let�s put in a drop shadow. Create a new layer and place it under the paper. I�ll call it shadow. We�re going to need the selection again, so we�ll grab it from the path. Pull up the path dialog and select the path that represents our paper (it�s probably the only one there). Once highlighted, press on the button at the bottom that looks like a selection. This is the �Path to Selection� button. Going back to our image, we can select the shadow layer and fill it with black. From there, well, you know the drill. Use a Gaussian blur to get a drop shadow. I used a radius of 15px.
http://merit.oryo.us/i/10/scrn4.png
We�ve made some progress, but there�s still a little magic left we need to work. Let�s try to soften up the edge of the paper. To do this, I want to coat the edge with a lighter shade of blue. I would like to achieve something like this�
http://merit.oryo.us/i/10/scrn5.png
To do this, we�ll use our path again. If you take another look at the path dialog, you�ll see a button with a brush on it. That is what we want, �Stroke Path�. Again, with our path select, hit this button. It will bring up a window which will allow us to select a tool that will be applied to your path. In essence, this means that the tool will be applied to the path. Select �Stroke with a paint tool� and grab the paintbrush from the list of options.
http://merit.oryo.us/i/10/scrn6.png
We�re almost there, but before we stroke the path, we need to make sure the paint tool is set properly. Bring up Gimp�s toolbox and select the paint brush. Here�s where we�ll make some changes.
http://merit.oryo.us/i/10/scrn7.png
The color I used was a lighter shade of blue (#b2c7fd) and a custom round brush with a radius of 2px and a hardness of 50%. If you�re not sure how to edit a brush, you might �brush up� on that and look at See Stars by Editing Your Brushes (http://merit.oryo.us/b/6/see-stars-by-editing-your-brushes). Once you have the color and brush set, go back to the stroke path dialog and press stroke.
I hope you agree that paths aren�t as complicated as some might have you believe. You can work with them and they can save you some time and effort.

^^ Thanks

Till now I used to consider path tool as waste but after reading/posting the above (previous post) i came to know that it is of lots of use...:D

Woah. You trying to embarrass me with that chewing gum text tutorial? :

Just one suggestion from my side KW. Instead of posting the full image, why don't you host it on Imageshack or something, and post only the thumbnail here?

Just my 2 cents of advice to any one who is trying GIMPing.

Exploit these tools to your intelligence:
Path Tool
Mask
Air Brush Tool
Blur Tool
Smudge Tool
Dodge Tool
Threshold

I know your first reaction will be that these tools are just basic, but believe me you can use them to do things they are not supposed to be ever used for.

AFAIK I don't think you can do so :-(
But still, you can tag all your images and find images posted under the same tag.

hmm...ok started using imageshack...only reason is that it provides thumbnail...

Well complied tuts
Really helpful :)
@beta testing
Change your user title :D

AFAIK I don't think you can do so :-(
But still, you can tag all your images and find images posted under the same tag.
