Hello, very good content, greetings from Panama

Hey I used to be a very big Mac user about 10 years ago and I absolutely loved using photoshop I became so accustom to it and it was like an extension of me since it is what I used everyday for various things (web design, icons, forum signatures) fast forward 10 years I am using Win 10 with GIMP, and man I got to tell you it is so hard! It reminds me of when I first started out with graphic design, boy you are really good at using this app and I am sure I will learn a thing or 2 from your videos!! Masterful work!

[@angelluismillan]

Thanks a lot Dave for the pro tip.

[@fishbarbeque8540]

Thank you so much I love how you teach.👍

[@UltraLightDashFlawless]

Nice 😉
Thanks Bro 👍

[@PrezzyRose]

Nice work. As a user of gimp for various projects over the years, watching your video made me realize there is still so much to learn. And since I don't have an eye yet for shadows yet, I'm going to try to create something in Canva and import it into Gimp.

[@buddhavoice6939]

thank you for your describing

[@MaximilianoNoriega]

Such classy and minimalist effect. Hey Mike, could you make a tutorial on cartoonizing somebody's photo?

[@-J.R-]

Yes, that would be very interesting.

[@mrRithems]

Great information.
QUESTION: Is it possible to MODIFY a filter once you apply it? I can't seem to find a way to do that. did I miss something? Deleting the layer and starting over seems like a lot of extra work.

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but GIMP does not have non-destructive editing as of the time of this comment. This has been a major point of contention over the last 5+ years. Just saw a comment today from a developer that they’re hoping to finalize a testable implementation of this in the next month, but who knows when it’ll be widely available in a stable release version.

[@THAILANDCANUCK]

Hi from Thailand, can this be used on a graphic image?

[@fabioarturo]

Amazing!! Easy it

[@maciejgrzyb4514]

Can you do a tutorial where you discuss what you think are the best G'mic filters?

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

I would like to eventually. Requires a lot of research.

[@technorahul6271]

sir many people said that gimp is now over in 2023 it is outdated is it real or we can really rely on gimp

[@annickvanblaere1904]

Everything went ok, just untill you went really fast on the script fu application. I can find add bevel, but it does nothing. I don't really understand script fu.

[@GalaxiaDeFavio]

when inverting the colors in my example doesn't change like yours ... what I did wrong? .-.

[@kussface1]

new to this frustrating program but I can't even pass the point to actually see dropdown shadow 😭

[@SNXAP_productions]

GREAt vid

[@DaviesMediaDesign]

Thanks!

[@eaudeviederoumanie]

I dont understand working with layer...

[@Andre7414]

Man great video. But I wish you could explain it a little more simpler!

[@Warlock93]

This is too difficult. What a messy program.

[@BryaniSzn]

lost me at the end paet

[@jays7761]

Looks whack.
