Book Overview
From creating professional-quality graphics to editing, manipulating, and printing them, it's all covered in this comprehensive guide to the latest version of GIMP. The book's easy-to-follow approach breaks down complicated processes into series of clear, step-by-step instructions accompanied by loads of helpful illustrations. Almost instantly readers will be able to create everything from high-quality artwork ready for four-color printing to banners and animation ready for distribution on the Web. GIMP, short for GNU Image Manipulation Program, is as powerful as Photoshop yet more extensible through the use of scripts and plug-ins. GIMP is the only professional-quality graphics program for Linux, the powerful Unix-like operating system that just might give Microsoft a run for its money, it has a huge community of fans and developers.

Learn the Gimp

The best beginning GIMP book I've seen.
I'm not a graphic artist, and I don't have time or the desire to read a mammoth tome on image manipulation. What I want is a book that will teach me the basics of GIMP in as little time as possible. This is that book. With this book I was able to get up to speed with most of the basic functions in just a couple of days. This is the best GIMP book I have seen for beginners. My only complaint is that most of the illustrations are in black & white, and the sections on color manipulation, etc. would probably be a little easier to follow with color illustrations. I plan to read the author's book on CorelDRAW in the near future

Excellent and complete introduction.
At the time of this writing, this is easily the best introduction to the GIMP. It covers about 90% of the material in the GIMP for Linux Bible, but the explanations are more concise. I would recommend the other book only if you need coverage of scripting, which this Quickstart doesn't really have.

Finally a GIMP book that's easy to use!
This book is *so* easy to use. There are pictures with each step and instructions that are really easy to follow.

Wonderful book!
This is an extremely complete guide to the Gimp. Everything you can do in PhotoShop, you can do in the Gimp -- and more! (Plus, the price of the software is right!) Phyllis Davis' book tells how to do anything you might want to do, with easy step by step examples. It is well illustrated. Perhaps the best part is the full color gallery section, showing Gimp art from around the world. If you want to learn to use the Gimp, I highly recommend this book. (Heck, you could learn stuff about PhotoShop from it while you're at it. Phyllis Davis is a wonderful writer, and explains computer graphic concepts and tools very clearly.) If you are just curious about all the fuss about the Gimp (Gnu means images!) check it out, too!
