Want better webshots? Get GIMP! - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Have you always wanted to have nice shots to post on the web? Here is a solution to photo manipulation, a freeware program called GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). Here are a couple shots I made last night:

And here is a tutorial vid showing how to set up GIMP.

Don't expect a clone of Photoshop, although like it GIMP is a high powered product. This is great stuff AND IT IS COMPLETELY FREE!

I've had this free program for a couple years now. Haven't been able to figure out how to use it. Is there a tutorial anywhere?

Don't give false hopes, Tom. Not even Photoshop can substitute for good lighting, a decent camera, a tripod for close-ups, and a careful eye for composition.

I have GIMP on my "field" netbook and I enjoy it a lot. I can almost exactly replicate my Photoshop procedure for editing photos with the exception of resizing. Still working on getting it how I like it in that regard.
