Book description

GIMP2 for Photographers is a beginner's guide to the only open source image editing tool which provides a low-cost alternative to expensive programs such as Photoshop. Topics include the basics of image editing and simple adjustments, as well as advanced techniques using layers and masks, stitching of panoramic images, and preparation of high-quality black and white images. The most important editing functions are presented in individual, easy-to-follow workshops.

NOTE: This is the first book i've seen out since the gimp went to 2.0 ....

Sweet. I should really pick one of those up for myself. I was trying to do stuff in GIMP the other day, and it took me forever. You never really realize how little you know a program until you try to do something new!! Very Happy
