GIMP tutorial



This is a tutorial about one of the most popular open source and free image editing programs around - GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). It's a powerful image editing tool with paths, color management, and layers. While perhaps not 100% on the scale of Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, it does offer a great deal of functionality.

GIMP is available on most desktop platforms, including Linux, Windows, and macOS. Hope the overview is helpful to get those with and those without any image editing experience started.

Since GIMP has been around for more than two decades, a great deal more information is available. I hope this is a good first overview of the basics.
