Yesh, a tutorial for the /ttly/ uber Paint. This tutorial will teach you how to make text like this:

Step #1: Get Ready
MKay, so first you have to get readeh =P. So.. open up paint, then go to image >> attrabutes. Set the width to 400 and the height to 600, then click OK. Now click on the thumbnail below, copy it, then paste (Ctrl+V) into Paint. After you do that, click any other tool so that the image is deselected.

Step #2: Do stuff =P
Click on the text tool (The black "A"). Then click and drag to make a box in the white area that will fit your text (make sure you don't make the box too near any of the sides or the bottom). "Right click ->> text toolbar" if you want to change the text's attributes. The text can be any color, 'cause it won't show anyways =P. Just make sure the color is in your swatches (down below). I will be using the bright lime green. After that, deselect the text by selecting a different tool ;D. Now you gotta right click on your font's color that you chose in the swatches area (down below). So I am right clicking on the lime green. Now go to "Image" on the top bar and make sure that "Draw Opaque" is unchecked.

Step #3: Make it gradient B-D
Now click on the selection tool (the dotted rectangle) and click and drag a box that goes around your text. Click and drag the box on the gradient area (don't worry about the white space around the text). Keep moving it until your happy with your text's gradient. For mine, I dragged my text into the pink and orange (ish) area. When you are happy with your text, go to edit >> copy. Then go to edit >> paste (the text will duplicate itself). Now click (and hold) the bottom left corner of the canvas and drag it inwards until all the other stuff is gone and only the text is showing.

And now you're done! You don't have to credit me for the gradient, PSP made it anyways xD.
