[hide]Overview
This class is going to cover the very basics if GIMP. It’s a very powerful tool for editing imagery and it’s free, and ideal for enhancing photos or basic graphics work. For a one night class, I'm going to cover the most basic tools, and the most obvious applications for first-time users, like touching up photos or creating a basic graphic or text editing.
Tools
- Selection/marquee
- The many applications of the Shift key
- Layers
- Opacity
- Line
- Brushes
Resolution
- Designing for internet
- Designing for print
- Scanning pencil art work
Photo Editing and Touch-Up
- Rotate Canvas
- Levels
- Transform
- Hue/Saturation
Basic Graphic Design

- Emboss/Drop shadow
- Color (change individual letters)
Excercise
Creating a quick logo? Layout for a business card? I'm open to suggestions based on what students would like to see.
I wouldn't mind photo touchup, which I understand is one of the more simpler things to teach. Erase a blemish on a face, correct red-eye, etc. Omegix 10:06, 19 January 2010 (CST)
