How to use Gimp for beginners - Lesson 1 - Getting around GIMP

Thanks to the Gimpchat forums for helping me figure out how to perfect these videos. Come check us out and join our community at gimpchat.com
This tutorial was made using Gimp 2.6. If you are running a different version some functions and methods, although slight, may be different. I recommend using the newest version of Gimp. For a tutorial on different Gimp installation options, including installing the newest version on a trial basis without making changes to your current installation, check out the tutorial below.
In this tutorial, I explain how to use gimp for beginners. The first video in the gimp tutorial series will teach you how to use gimp's interface, as well as how to change it.
Lessons Shown In Beginning of Video:
Cool Moving Train Sunset Wallpaper
Selective Colorization (Baseball Player)
Make an image look retro using gimp (girl blowing bubbles)
Make a girl look cold and scary
Make a house look haunted

Wacom Tablet

In my Gimp Tutorials, I frequently use Wacom Tablets. Here is an awesome wacom tablet I recommend using.
A Wacom tablet will enhance your GIMP photo editing experience by offering a pressure-sensitive touch that translates to varying transparency when making brush strokes in GIMP.

Gimp Reference Manual

I highly recommend getting this Gimp book to use as a reference manual in conjunction with my tutorials. This book will explain how the tools I use work. My tutorials will give you practical applications for the tools shown in this book.
