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!

The Photo used in this Gimp tutorial can be downloaded from here.

    If Bullguard safe browsing is not working then in that case, to fix this issue it is advisable that the user reinstalls the Bullguard safe browser after that if the issue still remains as it is then it is advisable that the user gets the whole of the software reinstalled on the system. If you still need more information or help then ask for it from the experts.

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.
