    There are only just a few videos explaining that extensive stuff as exactly as you do. So I have to thank you very much for this great video. It was very useful for me. Somebody said that it's a little bit too quick, but that is only in the first days of trying. Soon beginners will need that kind of videos to reach the first targets. Sorry for my bad english...I'm from germany. 😉

    Hi Chris, Gimp is Cool Painting Program. My extra Tip for Beginners is if you want to Paint Easier use the Gimp Toolbox Closer to your work area so that you do not need everytime to move to the left corner. or use Keyboard Shortcuts on Keyboard this Will also Help.

    Thank you for you turtorials. I did run into a little issue in my dodge/burn try out. It seems to me that my dodge isn't as suddle in applying a thin layer as yours is and on top of time I believe it to overlaps on areas already applied on even though I never released my hold on the mouse. Any idea how this is happening?

    Hello Chris, Thank you for your informative video. I am a Newbie with 2.10 but learn fast. I have decided to follow you on this issue and would like to ask if you could record your content slower thereby making it easier for us to digest. This is a very powerful and somewhat complex program to learn. Please do not make the same mistake that many tutorial authors make and try to present things at light speed. I have seen a similar video, the exact same content is done in 10 min and it was a joke. Yours is much better, yet to fast to really follow. When you lay a sponge on the surface of the water you will notice that it doesn´t sink immediately. If you hold it down and let it go it pops back to the surface and still has not absorbed much, whereas if you take the time to wait for it it will eventually soak up the material thereby making for a much better experience. Thanks...

    • @starmessenger
      @starmessenger 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Same here! Some parts, like using the scissor tool around the athlete, are too dragged out. But the parts that show tool selections, layers, drop down menus, etc., are so fast that even with pausing it's hard to catch. For people just learning Gimp, finding the tools and other functions is paramount.

    FIrst 30 seconds a background layer appears. Also when new layers are started there is no explanation of what choices to make. These missing steps in the first 2 minutes make it difficult to follow along and try and do it my self. This is for beginners. I will listen on, but lost after 2 minutes of 24.

  • @TheSunlitLeaf

    I recommend against using the scissors select tool. The result is terrible. It's much faster, easier and cleaner to use the bezier selection tool (hotkey b). This tool will give you nice smooth curves to work with so you do not spend ages correcting the terrible chunky results from the scissors select tool.
