Sure you could!
I used the following:
tgaWave Custom Wave Texture Injector v.8 Gimp (Download Page for Windows
here, direct Windows download
here)
Irfanview (I used this to resize images, since it does a better job than Gimp.)
(Irfanview also is great for converting from any image to any.)
^_^ thats basically it.
I might do a tutorial later, but not today... I have a program due, and I need to start it... Keep getting destracted.
Rules for editing the image:
1. It NEEDS a lot of black in the picture. It really does. I made the waves above by copying in images roughly Somethingx30px tall, then resizing its width to make it thin and skinny. Try starting with a solid black pic.
2. Go to the window with the image you are editing, and make sure it is in RGB mode. To do this, go to that window, and then: "Image","Mode","RGB".
3. Import other images as layers, and let gimp compress them. Keep em as layers for easy changes.
4. Before saving your image for use, go to the image's window, and then:"Image","Mode","Indexed". Tell it to generate the optimum palette, with a maximum number of colors=36. Use Color Dithering "Floyd-Steinburg (Normal)"
and click ok.
5. go to image, and click Save as.

Give any name, and save it where you want
Expand "Select File Type (By Extension)", and select "TarGA image" ~ "tga". Click save.
It will say "Can't handle layers", so choose "export".
Uncheck "RLE compression" and uncheck "Origin at bottom left", and click ok.

6. Here are the pics I used to make the above waves:
Notice: All images were reversed, and stretched vertically.
This is to compensate for the psp, which compresses them and flips them around.
One more thing, notice where the images are: If you stay around this vertical area, your fine, but if you go too far left and right, the words blend together.
Man, I should really stop.
