Below is a list of 10 fantastic sites for learning and using the popular image editing software program “GIMP” If you are unfamiliar with GIMP, it is the open source version of PhotoShop and other high priced image editing software. It really is a great program to have, the GIMP community is fantastic and at a price of $0.00 its worth a look. You can download GIMP here.
Gimpology-Visit Site
Gimpology.com is a user submitted tutorial site for the GIMP. There are thousands of fantastic tutorials that cover nearly every area of the GIMP. The site is also extremely well setup and easy to navigate making it a must visit for any one that uses GIMP. If you are a GIMP guru you can submit your own tutorials and promote your site, and at the same time, educate people on the GIMP.

The GimpTalk.com forum is one of the most active GIMP forums on the internet. It features a plethora of GIMP resources and tutorials and the community is more than willing to help answer your questions and solve any problems you may be having. Its also a great place to show off some of your work.

What is gimp?
June 25th, 2008 at 8:26 am
GIMP is a free image editing software, kind of like PHOTOSHOP, but without the price tag.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:48 am
Great list thanks. Will definately be taking a look at these tutorials. Can Gimp run on Linux too?
June 25th, 2008 at 11:40 am

Great to see another Gimper spreading the joy lol. Great resources, thanks for posting!
June 26th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
That is a really nice list you put together. It is so amazing to see how much great GIMP resources are available for free. It makes me wonder why people spend money on Photoshop + classes.

Is GIMP better then Adobe Photoshop CS3? and if one is already good in photoshop, how much effort is required to get into the world of gimp?
June 27th, 2008 at 11:43 am
@crashsystems-Glad you enjoyed the list.
@celina-Probably not better than CS3, however, I havent had one thing I could only do in photoshop and not GIMP.
Regarding the ease of use, if you have used photoshop then using GIMP should be fairly intuitive.

Mahalo for the alternative to PS CS3, I’m new & need all the help I can get!

@Deanna,
Your very welcome, enjoy the GIMP.

Great! I’ve been swamped with sites for learning PS … which I do not own. It’s about time I stumbled upon some for Linux / Gimp — which I DO have installed!
July 3rd, 2008 at 12:37 am
Great round up and thanks for listing my site on there
July 3rd, 2008 at 1:02 am

I’ve done a series of tutorials for photographers using the Gimp. Available free at GoingManual.com

For those of you who didn’t know, GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. GNU is a recursive acronym for GNU is Not Unix. Unix is… (this could go on for a while).
There’s also a portable version for those of you who like to take your apps with you.
http://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_pictures/gimp_portable
I might warn you though that it’s rather large and tends to be I/O heavy so it could decrease the life of your flash memory.

Can I suggest
http://meetthgimp.org
as an excellent tutorial site mainly concerned with editing photos with the gimp.
October 24th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Wow! Thanks for the great roundup of GIMP sites. I just happened to post a blog articles Ultimate List of GIMP plugins, Tutorial sites, resources etc etc - I thought that your subscribers might find it useful.
