Hi guys! I'm pretty new to the roleplay scene. I had a question about what programs work best to make layouts. Right now all I have is GIMP 2, but I see that most people use Photoshop.
Are there any good, free, alternatives to Photoshop that would have the same effects and such?

I've got a thread in my subscription list that just might help. c: It's a guide/tutorial for making RP post layouts. It's chock full of info, so it looks like a scary wall of text (with some pretty examples to break it up). The thread goes on for pages... @ .@ Give it a chance though, it has some great tips. XD

It has links in the first post to help you navigate, but the third post down should help. ^^

I can't recommend any specific sites or programs. I've only done a bit of simple editing with GIMP 2.

The guide mentioned above has a list of programs, some of which are free. I haven't used many, other than PicMonkey, which is great for making blank images to structure posts. ninja

What I'm mostly wanting to make are the "L-shaped" layouts? You know what I mean? I just don't know how to go about it.
