Re: [Gimp-user] A good book - Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional
I know they have a 2.6 version at Packt books too, which people can get free access to if they sign up for a free trial. (No affiliation).

Couple of points to mention: there are two editions to the book, the first edition used GIMP 2.4; the second GIMP 2.6. If you're buying it, the second edition is probably the one to get. Also, the publisher used to have (and as far as I know, still does) the policy that if you purchase the print version, you can get the digital version for a nominal fee. This has proved useful to me; I've several Apress titles, and when I travel, I can carry a reference library on a thumb drive, or micro SD card, and not have to carry a briefcase full of reference books.

[Gimp-user] A good book - Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional
Hey y'all, The other day I spent a couple of hours looking through this book at the library: Beginning GIMP: From Novice to Professional by Akkana Peck http://gimpbook.com/ I liked it a lot. Although I can't say it was an "eye opener" I did pick up a couple of things from it, and it seems to me like a well organized and fairly comprehensive textbook for new GIMP users. Considering what it is - a professional application software textbook - and the amount of color illustrations, Amazon's $32.00 USD price tag is not bad. Or hey, do what I did and find it at your local public library. :o) Steve ___ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
