    I was learning how to use GIMP about a year ago. So many weeks of my life. I'm now starting all over again after suffering some neurological damage. 5 minutes in and I've already picked up a couple of tricks that I don't think I ever knew.

    Fan freaking tastic! I've been watching a lot of tutorials lately and this by far is the best tutorial I've seen. Great job!!! I learned more in less than an about Gimp watching this than I did in an entire month of intro to graphic design trying to learn about Photoshop. ( Did that sentence makes sense? Lol) Anyway, thanks so much! Super grateful. I hope the TH-cam algorithms repay your kindness with throwing this video all over the place for exposure!

    I downloaded Gimp last night with no idea how to get started. A few of the TH-cam videos I found taught photo editing as if the viewer already had knowledge of where all the buttons are, what they do, etc. Your video is very much appreciated. Thank you!

  • @onehungrywolf
    @onehungrywolf ปีที่แล้ว

    This is an excellent beginner's tutorial! I opened gimp and followed along using a split screen. If any of you are having trouble seeing his mouse, remember that you can zoom in on your monitor. I'm on a laptop so I can pinch to zoom in and out on what he's doing. Thank you so much for putting your time and effort into showing us how to do some of these basic and very useful skills.

  • @jerrysstories711
    @jerrysstories711 3 ปีที่แล้ว +56

    Thank you for this tutorial. I've been using GIMP to create images for my story videos, but I just sort of learned what functions I needed and didn't do a proper tutorial. This was helpful to understand more of what's available. If you're interested in feedback to make these vids more helpful, I'd like to offer three pieces.
    1) It's often hard to see what you're clicking on because the cursor is tiny and you move it so quickly. I don't know if there's anything you can do about that, but it should would help.
    2) You talked about Alpha Channels without explaining.
    3) Please stop jiggling the image around randomly like at 47:38. I know it's fun, but it's just confusing in a tutorial.
    Thank you!

    Thank you! I'm a complete beginner in most techy things, but want to learn to use such tools for doing artwork. I've been asked to make illustrations for a friend's magazine article, a new experience for me, and was looking for something cheap / free, but more functional than Microsoft Paint! GIMP looks like the answer. Your clear and detailed demo and teaching, are just perfect for someone like me! I'm even listening without watching, and the way you say "over here on the left", and tell which mouse button to use - and I get it! So very clear! Fantastic teacher!

    • @lrigdrenlrigdren2147
      @lrigdrenlrigdren2147 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sorry, dumb question - once you're done editing all the layers, how do you save as one complete image? Just do "Save As" and give it a name and file type?
