Just made a guide:

Important rules to kit-making on GIMP:
Make sure the layers are the right size.
I would recommend the logo to be about 25x25 pixels and the sponsor to be 80x13 pixels.
For the sponsor, the example I used was 'Microsoft' although others may be smaller. Just experiment
and try and get it right.

I wonder if you have ever made any kits when you recommend to use 25x25 pixels for the logo :O I found that quite small, personally I use often between "35x35" - "40x40":p

This is how it looks with 35x35 on a kit which I made in 3½ seconds:

I think now it's best that people just zoom in and just carefully paintbrush it.

parkin, nice kit, did you use colourify for your LOSC kit? When I try and use the paint can my black actually turns grey

cheers mate.
not coulourify, theres one near the top of the colour option i think its called colourise, just set that i think it was to the bottom... if i try and **** about with the colours it usually goes **** up so keeping it simple atm!
 
Starting to get the hang of this now.. One more question though.. How do you like move images cos when i scale it down its just in the center of the jersey??

U need to select the Move tool from the Toolbars... Its the one with the double sided arrows that cross...

I also don't know how to do the coloring in thing..I had to use manual brushes to do that it took me forever! Is there a quick way to do it and keep the wrinkles in the shirt?

Lol I got over Gimp...downloaded Photoshop CS5 on Vuze..took an hour to dload :D

So here's one I created on Photoshop - Btw it's like 10 times easier on Photoshop!

c\n someone please help me. when i drag the psd file into gimp, it loads EVERY single layer from each kit style.

I.e - If i go to the adidas psd and use it, it will load all 40 of the styles and throw them onto the kit making every layer visible. So this results in a huge list of layers..

This differs so much from photoshop, but can someone please help me out?

I just gave GIMP a quick go for this purpose to see. It works ok, but changing the colours is a tad of a *****. Ok if you don't have PS I suppose, but not ideal.
