GIMP 2.6 for Photographers

Image editing has become a crucial element in the photographic workflow. Image
editing tools, most notably Photoshop, are usually sophisticated and deep
applications - and are fairly expensive. The only open source tool in this market is
the GIMP, which has developed into a powerful, multiplatform system running on
Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.

GIMP 2.6 for Photographers is a beginner's guide to the only open source image editing tool that provides a no-cost alternative to expensive programs such as Photoshop. Topics include the basics of image editing and simple adjustments as well as advanced techniques for using layers and masks, stitching panoramic images, and preparing high-quality black-and-white images. The most important editing functions are presented in individual, easy-to-follow workshops.

GIMP 2.6 for Photographers has evolved from classroom materials that the author developed and taught in courses and workshops on image editing with the GIMP.
