About the Class

Gimp is a popular Open Source image processing software. I''ts features can be compared to commercial programs like Photoshop® or Corel Photopaint®. Gimp is free software so you can download and use it without cost. This class will show you how to download and install Gimp on your computer (it runs on Windows, Macintosh or Linux) and how to start and use it.

Using Gimp is a bit different from other programs you may know, but if you get the hang on it, it will be easy to use it. Gimp can be used to edit your photos or create images and graphics from scratch. In this class we will just edit an existing photo (you will get an example photo during the class) and learn how to use the smudge tool from the gimp toolbox.

Profile Summary

Basically I'm a web developer, that's what I do for living at the moment and people can hire me for their individual web project for 84 Euro per hour (around $120 USD).

But I also teach here for a more affordable rate, so don't hesitate to ask for a private session.

You can find some older youTube videos where I explain the basics of HTML: HTML Playlist on youTube
I also teach other technical related topics.

Gimp (a free software to edit your photos)

Blender (a free 3D-modelling software)
