I think you forgot something in the video: for the web, the image should be scaled to 72 dpi, instead of leaving it at 300 dpi. Other than that, very nice video. I didn't know about using the grid to correct rotation - very useful. Also nice to see you that take your time to explain things too. Thanks. Hi.

I just discovered your site while trying to figure out how to prepare images for websites with the gimp. I have just migrated to Mac from PC. The process is so simple with Photoshop (save for web...) that I was hoping there is something similar in Gimp. But no such luck. My comment is to ask if there is anything available here for us poor folks in the country who only have dial up? Downloading a 2000+ M file is something really next to impossible. Thanks. I would like to share in what seem to be fantastic tutorials according to all the other comments. Lucky you who have ADSL! Hi.

While there will be discussions about the order of operations, settings, and more, the important thing is that you have taken a powerful program, and made it understandable. And you did it in Bremen!

So thank you, twice - first for the tutorial, and second for reminding me of a wonderful town in a land far away. Rolf,

And I need the right crop (impossible without rotation) to decide what to do with an image.

The other steps I understand, but I still think that the rotation would be best to do in the end, because the image is being altered (interpolation). But that's only my opinion. Thank you for the reply. PS: I'm already watching episode 7. Until now, all very good :) Ok!

Rotating softens the image - but what can you do except holding the camera right? ;-) Then I work with the image in the large size. Resizing the final image leaves the resizong algorithm the best chance to do a good job. Sharpening is definitly the last step because all further actions degrade the sharpening effect. I also store the image unsharpened und "unresized", if I plan to keep it for further work. Resized and sharpened images are for display/print only.

I saw your first lesson and I think it is very good. I just have one question. Shouldn't the rotation and resizing be the last steps, so we have more information for the other steps? If not, why did you use that order in the steps: rotate -> crop-> improve colors -> resize -> enhance (sharpen) ? Thank you PS: I'll watch all the other episodes and, for sure, I'll have more questions :) Hi!

This is well thought out and very complete. I like instructions in which you are doing real work. Excellent tutorials – As a long time Autocad instructor, I say you are a teacher of teachers.

Basically this operation darkens the dark tones, leaves the mid tone alone and lightens the bright tones. That results in a realistic contrast enhancment. I’ll cover the layer modes in detail.

Very helpful indeed to people who are trying to understand image editing better. The overlay layer technique that you showed in episode 1 has a dramatic effect on most images that I have used it on, but I don't understand what it is doing to the underlying pixels. Please can you explain what operations it is performing on the underlying pixels (in the jpeg after the layers are merged) and why this operation has the effect of bringing more vitality to the image ?

Though it was the first (introducing) episode, it was already very interesting. Keep on the good work! I discovered this videocast today in Democracyplayer and just watched the first episode.

I am so glad you are doing this. I believe that gimp is a fantastic software and it is often overlooked. I really enjoyed your first episode and plan on watching all of them as they come out.

I'm just glad I chose the right day to check it. Awesome episode, and I look forward to many more!
