This seems to be a new kid on the block – very good writen up tutorials. I tried that once – it was to much work and now I just ramble into my microphones….

Where can I get a free beginners tutorial preferably video but text copy will sufficient..
Thanks,

It seems a really interesting place, nice tutorials…
Michael, try this: http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials.php
A resource I’ve found quite useful is the gimpbook (http://gimpbook.com/index.html)
This is a good tutorial on how to have colorized sections of a B&W picture.

I find it easier to pick up concepts by watching your videos, Rolf. The pace and your narrative style fit the level of detail just perfect — for my tastes. I hope you never run out of enthusiasm for producing these episodes.
If you are looking for more topic suggestions, I think the layer blend modes (and paint modes) would surely be a rich source of subject matter. You have already given more insight than I have found elsewhere with your incidental mention of multiply, overlay and screen. I’d like to see more of the same approach — examples of use to achieve specific effects.
If that gets boring, the filters are probably an endless source of confusion for many; perhaps you could continue on that subject. I liked the way you did the unsharp mask, for example.
