Isolate a Background Using Color - Gimp Video Tutorial

This Gimp Video Tutorial talks about a very cool discovery I recently made while writing my upcoming book on layer masks. I was digging through Gimp's documentation, and discovered exactly how Gimp looks at colors to determine how light or dark parts of any image is when you desaturate it.
This video talks about how you can take what I learned and apply it to your layer masking using gimp.

My book on layer masks can be found on Amazon.com for 4.99. Click here to take a peek inside!

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.
