GIMP for Absolute Beginners
“Write a book” was always on my list to do. Well, here it is: The book focuses primarily on people who have no understanding of GIMP and digital image manipulation. That said, a few chapters also help you getting your graphics tablet setup and painting with GIMP. Most of the examples have been written with a MS Windows installation of GIMP. Don’t worry though, I was testing most of the examples under my GNU/Linux (Ubuntu) installation as well.
Jan Smith is the main author of the book. I like to thank Jan again for her countless effort to get this book published. You can order the book from Apress or your favorite book dealer.
