Introduction to GIMP February 3, 2009

GIMP (GNU Image Manuipulation Program) is a powerful image editing software title.  It may be a bit less polished looking and slightly less powerful, but for most purposes it works great – and it’s free.

We will be using GIMP for the Digital Image Editing portion of the class.  Because it is free, you are able to install it and use it at home.  We will be learning how to use GIMP alongside learning about things like pixels, resoultion, layers, etc.

Let’s get started with a couple beginner tutorials from the makers of GIMP themselves:
