Book Review - GIMP 2 For Photographers
If you are doing digital photography, and these days, who isn’t, then chances are you will be in need of an image editing program. If you have the money, you can spend around $600 for a copy of Photoshop or, for less functionality, you can get Photoshop Elements for about $100. But what if you are just starting out, or on a tight budget, or you work in a Linux environment? You can get GIMP 2 For Photographers, which contains both a beginners' manual for GIMP 2 as well as the GIMP 2 software on an enclosed CD.
This book began as materials that the author has used and refined in his workshops and classes. It is a how-to guide on using GIMP 2. Mind you, this is not a reference guide. It is a learn-by-doing manual that will instruct you on how GIMP works. By using hands-on examples, this book will walk you through many of the solutions that needed to create that perfect photograph.
This book is broken up into four chapters. The first chapter, “Basics”, is an introduction to digital editing.
