Gimp For Beginners

If you're trying to learn how to use gimp quickly, I recommend you do two things.


1.) Get My Free eBook

I've been using Gimp for several years, and as a result, I decided to write a short book on the 5 principles of photo editing.  My goal in writing this book wasn't to teach people how to edit photos with gimp, the goal was to teach people good habits that seperate the decent photo editors from the great ones.  Click on the image below to get my free eBook


2.) Check out My Essential Gimp Tools

I have created a list of essential Gimp Tools to help you get the most out of GIMP.  Everything from books, to wacom tablets, to the best gimp cameras.  Check this page out for a list of my Essential Gimp Tools.


3.) Get my eBook!

And last but not least, I am writing a series of very short, very affordable books.  So far the only one that is complete is my eBook on layer masks.  You can take a peek inside by clicking here.

Wacom Tablet

In my Gimp Tutorials, I frequently use Wacom Tablets. Here is an awesome wacom tablet I recommend using.
A Wacom tablet will enhance your GIMP photo editing experience by offering a pressure-sensitive touch that translates to varying transparency when making brush strokes in GIMP.

Gimp Reference Manual

I highly recommend getting this Gimp book to use as a reference manual in conjunction with my tutorials. This book will explain how the tools I use work. My tutorials will give you practical applications for the tools shown in this book.
