Abstract

From the Publisher:Comprehensively covers the program by teaching readers all aspects ranging from installing, to scripting, to working faster and more efficiently through shortcuts. Thoroughly covers one of the most powerful aspects of GIMP — filters, including how to create images invoking Cubism, Van Gogh, embossing, warping, rippling, glass tile, and fractals. While this book does not teach readers how to be artists, it offers plenty of examples to inspire new ideas and grab on to the power and versatility of the application. Gimp: The Official Handbook is written by two Gimp experts and is the most comprehensive source of information available on this freely distributed image-manipulation program for the Open Source community. The only book to teach the entire program, including all built-in filters and third-party plug-ins. Beats the competition by teaching the program from cover to cover. Other books gloss over key features and focus on learning the program quickly, or are theoretical and provide no practical information on the product. Features a 32-page Color Studio with inspiring images readers can create by learning all of the program's techniques in the book. Core Gimp software. Plug-ins and libraries that add file formats and effects to harness the power of this expandable and extensible program.
