Great Job max
That’s really great. You showed a lot of very powerful techniques.
Greatings
Fornit
PS: I wish I could speak English that good.
You’re very skilled, Max. Thanks for the tutorial!
I really enjoyed your informative tutorial. Hope to see more from you.
Thanks
Excellent tutorial Max. I especially liked that you explained everything you did and how you zoomed in on details like the colour values.
This was a most interesting and informative video. Congratulations Max and please do some more,
I have just recently started using Gimp and I love it. This is article is very informative. Thank You Kindly
Well done Max. Great tutorial. Great English. Great potential.
Yet again a tutorial that drives home how powerful the Gimp is as long as the user has some patience and time to practice. I have read a few posts on some other news sites lately with comments such as “I just want to… but is there a non technical tutorial for showing this etc…”. The answer is nearly always no. People see the results achieved by users such as Max and think that because they have a computer that the same results should be achievable by anyone. Yes they are, as long as you learn some of the technical stuff. Sorry about the rant, but people expect so much for very little work.
Keep up the good work Max.
Thank you. I wanted to also thank everybody who supports me and my homepage, like http://akeller.net/index/?page=2
Congrats Max on a well done episode. Slow and clear that’s the way to instruct. I like that you include where you find your resources and inspiration. This way people who are interested can go and explore these sites - maybe get some new ideas and contibute to MTG later on.
Continue the hard practice
Very well done Max, really gimpressive.
Btw. the combination of screencast and written tutorial is very helpful for me. The screencast ist fun to watch and best to catch the ideas. While reproducing the letter I prefer to look up the details in the written notes.
Hi Max,
great job and thank you for the informative tutorial.
Also thanks to Rolf and Philippe for spending their time in producing screencasts.
Since years I don’t understand Gimp because I’m used to programs like Photoshop but after watching the podcasts more and more I feel good with Gimp.
Max, thanks also for linking to my bookmark-collection. It is maybe a good idea to change the link to http://akeller.net/search/all/gimp . The collection is constantly growing and Page 2 is changing nearly each week.
thx
