Don’t Use Gimp Without ‘em…

…5 useful Gimp tutorials.

I kind of thought this fruit bat looked like the Gimp character. What do you think? Photo taken by Jodi_B of Deviantart.

Gimp is a great program. I challenge anyone to name a better free image editor. That being said, it does lack the instructional support, a well established package like Photoshop possesses. There are instructional videos, classes, books and magazines dedicated to Adobe’s application. This is something a free open source program simply can not compete with. So it’s up to people like you and me, to help bridge the gap between the gimp manual and some of the awe inspiring creations being produced with this free image editor.
In this post I attempt to do my part by giving you my picks for the 5 most useful gimp tutorials. What do I consider usefulness? I look for videos that address the topics that you’d need to know to get the full benefit out of Gimp. These are videos that had me wishing I’d seen them before I tackled certain projects. And most importantly these videos are explained in plain English. I try to stay sensitive to the fact that not everyone has a design background. I’m always on the look out for things that will help noobies. I like videos where people are actually talking and I don’t have to read my way through the tutorial steps. Hello, that’s what books are for!
So without further delay here are my 5 picks. If you don’t like them or have some better ones make use of that comment box below.
