I can't read the original message. I'm posting from gimpusers.com and it's not available from there. But if I'm not mistaken the complaint was that GIMP was hard to learn and part of the problem was tutorials being out of date.
There's plenty if you know where to find them. I posted this earlier but might as well post again. http://gimp-tutorials.net/ http://www.gimp.wisdomplug.com/ http://gtuts.com/ http://youtube.com/gimptricks http://youtube.com/jxtutorials The last two are video tutorials. GIMPtricks is me. Gimp wisdom plug is a site that gathers links to gimp tutorials from all over the internet. You can stumble on good and recent or bad or old tutorials, but there are a lot there on that site. There is lots more on youtube. Unfortunately there are a lot of videos where people are babbling and mumbling and being plain unclear or worse, telling you the wrong way of doing something. But there are lots of excellent videos as well. Gtuts doesn't have many tutorials, but they are all excellent. If you're willing to spend money I can recommend the VTC training videos for the basics (on gimp 2.6). But I found it covered GIMP from a photoshop point of view. More thorough is Akkana Peck's book. Also for beginners but you learn much more for half the price. It's on gimp 2.4 but I found it easy to follow since 2.4 and 2.6 aren't that much different. -- jolie (via www.gimpusers.com) _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
