GIMP is a free and open-source image editing tool. With a large community of open-source admirers, it is no secret that GIMP is growing in popularity at an astonishing rate. GIMP is bundled by default on many Linux distros. With sufficient plugins, brushes and scripts, GIMP can become very powerful.
Of course, you need to know how to use GIMP well. The power of GIMP leads to an unfortunate effect of being too complex for a complete beginner to understand. To solve that riddle, here are some good GIMP tutorials from popular websites. Bookmark this post – we will be continuously updating it as we find better tutorial websites.
