Rather than simply running down a list of GIMP's capabilities, Sams Teach Yourself GIMP in 24 Hours actually teaches graphic art techniques and web media creation using GIMP. The GIMP is a fairly complex program with many features and capabilities, but not so complex to be beyond the grasp of most competent computer users. Sams Teach Yourself Gimp in 24 Hours takes you step-by-step through image creation and manipulation and teaches you the techniques for producing high-quality digital art. This book is neither a "dummied down" guide for novice computer users nor an incomprehensible technical reference for UNIX and Linux experts.
