[-TayloR-]

I dont suppose anyone has the link, or links, to decent gimp tutorials do you? im beginning to get fairly good, no where near a professional, just advancing from beginner, so any tutorials would be most appreciated.

knowing my way around in photoshop isnt really a plus starting with the gimp.
In fact, its really hard :( I'm always looking for a specifque photoshop tools and can't find it in the gimp.

Any beginner tutorials?

Thanx for the links. I love The GIMP and want to learn as much as I can but Ive tended to find that PS does things (drop shadows) a little easier than GIMP.

I have the lofty goal of starting up my music centered design company again using all open source/freeware apps. Im also trying Inkscape now.

i'm still a bit confused by the lack of a 'object management' tool, but eventually, it will replace my beloved corel :razz:

For some reason i never seem to be able to get the tool 'paint using patterns or image regions' working lol.. dang that tool.

Grokking the GIMP (http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/) - its a book.
Its even available on Amazon I think.

I never went for this because it was published in 2000. Alot has changed since then.

True, though I doubt that the basic functionality has changed .. and if I remember correctly the book has a lot of information about layer management. Doh .. layer management is the one thing that has changed a lot, hasnt it?

I was going to recommend APT'ing "gimp-manual" but that was last updated May '98. :)

Also a FYI. You can APT a HTML version of "Grokking the GIMP".

Its: sudo apt-get install grokking-the-gimp.
