[Gimp-user] Tutorial for beginners

2003-03-17 Thread Judy Wilson
We have recently uploaded a tutorial for beginners with The Gimp. There
is an html version and one you can download and open in OOo Writer.
The images used are also there to download. This was written to start
from the beginning, but there are some basics about several things.
You can find it on

www.linux.bz

The links to The Gimp are clearly marked.

I started with Grokking the Gimp and could have used some things a
little more basic, though I learned a lot! Still learning. I love it!

We're promoting open source in Belize!

 mmm kind of looks like its illegal to use, wouldn't be bothered but was
 intending to use it for commercial work .
There are good alternatives to GIF for commercial work, like JPG, PGM etc.
depending on your application.

Still, a pdf file would have been nice. Downloading the images separately,
downloading and installing Open Office, and then combining the two may turn 
off some newbies. 

I use Abiword (free) and TeX (free) for my textual work.
