I agree that it is a very good tutorial. I learned a lot (now that I have finished it). I was just surprised because it is not easy to even start GIMP if you cannot find the mouse.I have been ill for a bit, but I am looking through the "straight line" tutorial. http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-tutorial-straight-lines.html I am very near the beginning so I do not yet have any serious comments. That said, a lot of time is spent describing what a mouse looks like and where to find it. There is also time spent describing the shift keys. I usually expect that if the user is able to run GIMP, that should be able to find the mouse and the shift keys. Sorry, I just wanted to vent!Guess you have never sat behind a help desk? Them's the questions you get It is actually a good tutorial, and introduces paint tools and brushes as well the nitty gritty of starting things off. Too easy for you? great, go on and do other things I am just finishing bringing it, and the screen shots, up to the latest version of GIMP. The tutorial begins with an entire paragraph and pictures to show the SHIFT key and the mouse. At the end, it skips over the details on how to create the example images. Well, it did, anyway. It took me a bit to figure out some of them, but after I validated, built, visually verified, and spell checked, I create and submitted a patch. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt My Book: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oome.htm Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php See Also: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/index.html |
