Obviously a chapter on "bare bones basics" would not have been out of place... Try here though: The online GIMP manual has a Common Tasks section that does include drawing straight lines: http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-tutorial-quickies.html An introduction to image file formats and their uses might also be useful. Note that the GIMP "saves" files to its own native XCF format, and "exports" images to numerous other formats for purposes like web display, printing, etc. http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-images-out.html#gimp-using-fileformats-export-dialog This tutorial on basic photo enhancement is one of the best, now its only home is the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/web/20100714014911/http://world.std.com/~mmcirvin/gimp_tutorial After working through these materials, the Book Of GIMP may prove a lot more useful. :o) Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
