The GNU Image Manipulation Program, better
known as GIMP, is a free, open source alternative to image editing programs
like Photoshop. While the title of The Book Of Gimp to be A Complete Guide to
Nearly Everything, from a beginners perspective, it’s hard to imagine the
authors missed much.
This exhaustive collection makes for a
great resource to help both the experienced user and the beginner get the most
out of the capabilities of this handy program.
Authors Oliver Lecarme and Karine Delvare
do a nice job of not only walking you through the step by step process of a
wide variety of image manipulations, but utilize screen shots to illustrate
each step of the process from beginning to completion.
While the price tag can be an attraction to
open source programs, often times the documentation on executing those program
can be a drawback to maximizing the usefulness of the program. The Book of GIMP
is a vital tool to help you advance from the programs basics to master status.
