It's shiny! http://gimpology.com/submission/view/a_basics_tutorialhttp://gimpology.com/submission/view/a_basics_tutorialA tutorial that covers many basic operations in the GIMP which creating a floating text logo. http://gimpology.com/submission/view/drawing_shapes_with_the_paths_toolhttp://gimpology.com/submission/view/drawing_shapes_with_the_paths_toolThe Path Tool (replacing the old Bezier Selection tool) can be used in many creative ways. Maybe the best thing in it is the smooth, beautiful curves it produces. But you can also use paths to create different polygonal shapes if you don't 'pull out the handles'. http://gimpology.com/submission/view/how_to_create_straight_lineshttp://gimpology.com/submission/view/how_to_create_straight_linesThis tutorial shows you how you can do straight lines with the gimp, using a feature called the Shift Key. Straight lines are a convenient way to make things that aren't so terribly affected by the imprecision of a mouse or tablet, and to take advantage of the power of a computer to make things look neat and orderly. This tutorial doesn't use Straight Lines for complex tasks; its intended to show how you can use it to create quick and easy line effects. http://gimpology.com/submission/view/an_introduction_to_quickmaskhttp://gimpology.com/submission/view/an_introduction_to_quickmaskThis tutorial introduces you to the QuickMask feature in GIMP by demonstrating how it can be used to create vignette effects. QuickMask is a convenient way to modify selections using pixel-changing tools such as the paintbrush, eraser, or any plug-in filter. It lets you make very precise adjustments to your selections. http://gimpology.com/submission/view/beginning_with_pathshttp://gimpology.com/submission/view/beginning_with_pathsBezier selection is a powerful tool in The Gimp. The rectangle- and ellipse-selections are not very flexible if you happen to need something more special. And since many of us gimpers don't have a graphics tablet, it's not so easy to make the mouse pointer move the way you want. Bezier selection fixes the problem by using smooth mathematical curves instead your own shaky mouse trail. http://gimpology.com/submission/view/basic_operationshttp://gimpology.com/submission/view/basic_operationsA tutorial covering resizing, compressing, cropping, color modes, flipping and rotating. A must read if you are just starting out with The GIMP. http://gimpology.com/submission/view/add_a_border_around_a_selectionhttp://gimpology.com/submission/view/add_a_border_around_a_selectionSince Gimp is an image manipulation program and not a painting program it doesn't include tools to draw shapes like squares and circles. However this doesn't mean you can't paint them, in fact there are some interesting options regarding this subject when it comes to the gimp.
