As another fellow Linux enthusiast, I'm marveled to see this blog full of rich information. It has been due to have such good material covered. While it is true that Open Source software has been all around us all along, tutorials on the other hand have not. And while everyone seems more focused on teaching the leading Image Manipulation Program (a.k.a Photoshop), your blog is enraged in showing the world the wonders of the GIMP. At last I can start learning it myself, since I'm also a GIMP beginner. Please continue your hard work. It is greatly appreciated. Godspeed on your Blog and keep teaching us about the wonders of Image Manipulation. Great blog! I love it!

to answer your constant request for suggestions to
make the show better
frankly I don’t think it matters much which way you go or do
your teaching style is perfect and just works well

if anything perhaps setup a request box of some sort
that people can add items to that they would like to learn
about and others could vote on which is a priority

the one item I find that the site could use is a episode guide
its to hard to skim the blog posts to figure out which episode covers the item one is looking for

also why not switch to a 16:10 (or 16:9 if you think people want to watch it on tvs instead of computers) format on the
video then you will have a bit more room for everything
then you can stop having to shuffle everything about as much

I look forward to further episodes

And as the painter has to know what the dried paint looks like, we have to know about the monitor and the printer. The camera is not that important, I think. You can always correct it's output. @Norman: Good analogy. And as the painter has to know what the dried paint looks like, we have to know about the monitor and the printer.

It would need too much work in prepration and planning. This is a spare time project and has to stay in a reasonable time frame. If I could charge a € per view, I would quit my job, make a better podcast and have a DSLR as price for the then monthly photo challenge. ;-) @JJ Sounds like a good idea but is not doable for me.

When I produce a final image, be it for the monitor or the printer, I try to make it what I want as a piece of art and try to use the camera and the software as an artist uses canvas, paint and brushes.

Take, for instance, a photography skill and commit a month to it, like wedding photography. * First show could be the gear you need, general advice before you even head out the door. * Second show could be how to handle the people being photographed, general poses and tips and tricks on the shoot itself. * 3rd show could be post processing the images in Gimp * 4th show could be an questions and answers show. etc. Then on to the next month tackling wildlife or whatever. This way you cover a huge range of stuff and you can always revisit all the shows with new information in a specific month, maybe someone who is a professional ion his field will make a contribution, etc. Hope this gives you new ideas for the show! :D I watched this last show and thought about what you said on helping the show out, so how about making the show modular?

You'll never get the intensity of sunlight reflecting from water drops or the wings of a butterfly from paper. And you'll never get the blackness of black velvet or charcoal from ink or silver. Our world is so full of contrasts and colours - we can only make a dim image of that. More important yet: My images shall not show what the camera saw or what I saw, but what I want you to see! ;-) @Norman: It can’t be that what the camera saw.

I am looking foward to this episode and downloading it as I type. I also wanted to mention that Full Circle Magazine has started a new series in their latest issue titled "Using GIMP", thought you guys might find it interesting, here is the link: http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-12/ Greetings from Barcelona! BTW, your last episode was great, who said germans have no sense of humour huh?! :D Thanks yet again for your work and patience teaching us GIMP!

You pointed out one of the differences between transmitted light and reflected light. If we extend that to what the camera saw and then what we see on the monitor when viewing that image, the same difference must apply. So. logically, provided that all the processes are set correctly, the final print should be what the camera saw and not the image on the monitor. What do you think?
