Future sig shop owner
I am planning on opening a sig shop once I get pretty good at using GIMP. however, when I try to put a picture from the internet, it asks for the URI, what is that and where do I get it?
Thank you and sorry for the newb question...

Re: Future sig shop owner
The URL, kiddo.
In order to put a picture anywhere on the internet and allow people to see it whenever they want, you have to upload it first. You need to put it on a website on the internet where it will be available to anyone even when your computer isn't on... So, you're going to have to make a webpage or find a picture host and upload it there. I'd recommend that you get yourself a photobucket account and load it up there. The URL is the location of the picture on the internet. For example, the URL of this picture...  is http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...ster_Sword.jpg . Right-click on the picture above, click on "properties", and you'll see the URL right next to "location". ^^ hope that helps!

Re: Future sig shop owner
That was a very well made post, and it would have helped me if it was not for that I allready know all of that. I thought I had to put in the URL too, but it specifically says URI and when I try to put picture from google using the URL on their it says that it is invalid or something. hmmm, I'm still stuck.
Edit: Maybe I am not going to the right part of GIMP to uplaod internet pics... I am going to file - Open location - then a pop up window comes up saying to enter the URI. Does anyone using GIMP know if this is the right place?

Re: Future sig shop owner
I'm pretty sure a URI is just the bigger family that URLs belong to... I think it includes ftp: and mms: and stuff like that, besides the standard internet http:
Oh, that's your problem! Download the picture to your computer first, and then try and open it using "open file" or something like that. "open location" is definitely not the command you want to be using, I'm pretty sure... :O Mind you, I've only used GIMP a few times before, so I don't really know... but try that, see if it helps. :O
