GIMP for Absolute Beginners gives us an easy way to use the power of
GIMP, and enjoy digital photography and graphics without worrying about
application features.
GIMP is a powerful open source graphics and digital imaging application
with almost all the features of its proprietary counterpart, Photoshop.
But many of us are photographers and artists first, and we like to use
our tools without having to think about them too much. GIMP for
Absolute Beginners gets us to this stage without patronising users who
haven't used GIMP before.
But what can we actually do with photos and graphical images? These
questions are answered in a photo projects chapter as well as a chapter
on digital painting: Starting with making small changes to photos and
adding information to them to creating paintings and drawings without
photographic input.
GIMP for Absolute Beginners covers the newest version of GIMP, version
2.8, so you can be sure the book covers the latest GIMP features.
**The print version of this book is black & white, but the ebook
version is in color on color-enabled devices. **
