gimp1 Free GIMP Tutorials I’ve been asked often about Gimp and if I would write up tutorials for it so I thought that I would post something up.

First of all, if you don’t know Gimp, it’s the most popular and function-rich, stand-alone photo editing software out there that’s 100% FREE! Got your attention?

I wish I could personally write up some Gimp tutorials but, to be honest, I’ve never tried it! I’ve been with my good buddy Photoshop since version 3 (not CS3). I know that for many of you, Photoshop is pretty expensive especially if photography is a hobby and not income generating. So Photoshop Elements, free online photo editing sites or Gimp would be great alternatives.

Researching tutorial links for this post gave me a some good insight on what is generally said about Gimp and it’s quite positive! So just download it and give it a test drive. If you’re already using Gimp, tell us what you like and dislike about it. If you know of other good Gimp tutorial links, please share them in the comments.

Happy Gimping!

I have to make mention of the wonderful video-blog tutorial site:
http://meetthegimp.org/

I am not even caught up with his archives yet, and I’ve already learned a ton of stuff,
even having been a casual GIMP user for quite some time.

In addition to being free, GIMP also has a raw plugin called ufraw. Get it at http://ufraw.sourceforge.net/
