i have been using Linux for the past three years and due to the various Linux distributions out there ,i tried my hand at each one of them as they came out and finally gone for mandriva Linux and pcLinuxos for rpm based distributions and Ubuntu for debian based distributions , and for the past three years ,i have been installing one or other distributions at my system and gained only little knowledge about Linux , so i have decided it is high time that i should have a deep knowledge of Linux and the software in it ,so i started at lxer.com with whom i have been a member for past one year , 1) i want to learn a image-editing software in Linux 2)i don't have any knowledge of any image -editing software (including adobe-photoshop) 3)many people say gimp is a powerful image -editing application and hard to learn ,is this true 4) so the people at lxer.com will help me to learn an easy image-editing application ,which as good tutorials and documentation and forum support etc? 5)thanks for your suggestions and replies |

Gimp used to be a bit strange to use notably if you were used to Photoshop. It has come a long way and since you are new to photoediting you should be fine
Have a look at this introduction and tips for Gimp

I recommend checking http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Graphics/Image_Editing/Th... for gimp-tutorials. I use "Grokking the Gimp" from there. It's old, but it's a whole (online) book! |

Yes, by using The Gimp, you will soon evolve to blender and some of the other vector rendering programs in Linux. Linux is filthy rich with the programs you seek...we just do things a bit differently here in the Land of Linux. From the "I-can-hardly-wait" section, Xara is in the process of porting their fine windows program to Linux...it will be a while before its ready but it is something to really look forward to. helios |

helios -- evolve to blender? I wish. Blender continues to elude me, much to my dismay. I have managed to make a side-trip to Cinelerra, however, but that's something else entirely. |

Try to find at Barnes and Noble or Books a Million or Borders The Official Gimp Handbook in the Coriolis Black book series...a major handfull for learning the gimp.....about 3 inches thick with glossy color examples... http://www.faqs.org/docs/linuxworkspace/LITW8_4s.html |
