Gimp free photo editing software part 1 installation and layers - HD video tutorial

In this video tutorial will present GIMP, a photo editing program similar to the famous Adobe Photoshop, Gimp is free from Photoshop which is a rather expensive commercial software, the differences between the two can be felt only by professionals, for a home user Gimp is a very good solution for editing photos or graphics and animation.

GIMP is the abbreviation for "GNU Image Manipulation Program" which means "GNU Image Manipulation Program (a type of license that allows the use, copying and redistribution of the program for free)" and is a software for creating and editing of graphics, animation and digital images. It is usually used as free software to replace Adobe Photoshop.

In 1995, students Peter Mattis and Spencer Kimball began working at GIMP, and a year later, on February 15, 1996, the first version 0.54 was released, with the interface based on "Motif" (a licensed application for programming graphical interfaces ), but they quickly created a free alternative called GTK. The two, after graduating from college in 1997, dropped out of the program, but a few volunteers recovered the codes and released version 1998 in June 1.0. GIMP 1.2 has improved the interface, the ability to use brushes and fix bugs in previous versions. GIMP 2.0 used for the first time the GTK2 + toolkit, the ability to edit texts and the support for the CMYK color space. Major changes took place in variants 2.2 to 2.4. and included improved support for RGB, HSV, CMYK color spaces, Pantone colors, shades of gray, new selection tools and a complete change of interface. With the release of version 2.6, the program's interface has also improved, the interaction between the program and the user being more efficient.

Program features include 48 brushes (brushes) plus standard facilities to create new ones, about 150 of filters and effects, options for layers, selections and masks color channels, both digital images, vector graphics and animations as.

The GIMP can open, edit and save a lot of files such as JPG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, PSD, EPS, PRN, PS etc.. compatible with most imaging programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or PostScript. User can import Adobe PDF documents and RAW formats from most digital cameras, but can not save.
The software runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, which makes it one of the most used free programs in graphics, animation and digital imaging.

This first tutorial describes how to install the program and how to use GIMP layers (strata). With this program we can make collage from several images, faking images, add effects, etc..

I wish you a pleasant viewing and I look forward to the next video tutorials about GIMP.

  • Congratulations! The much awaited tutorial about editing program foto.Astept forward these tutorials on the same subject!

  • @niku: The graphics is not as easy as other programs.
    I have a friend who works in web design and told me that he works for Adobe Phptoshop 10 years and still not taught at all.
    Gimp is like Photoshop, it's hard to work with him, but rewarding when you catch very large thread, if you are interested in this course, if you're passionate about games or messenger is not too wise to grab the design for you you will not waste your time and choose the great work.
    My advice to all is: If you still wasting time on the computer and try to make something interesting, let fifa and shooters and learn something useful.
    When I learned there was no videotutorial.ro computer, I would have been much easier, take advantage of knowledge stored on this site or on other sites and make beautiful things.
    SUCCESS.

  • Beautifully detailed videotutorial very explicit and sincere bravo Dane aştâptm them and the other with great interest, very calm and clean I love how the stupidest explain and understand, beautifully I thank you object flawless.
