GIMP Intro

8 March 2008 by kristarella

GIMP logo

LaurenMarie, owner of Creative Curio, kindly asked me to write a post for her blog about GIMP, which has been published today.

This GIMP introduction is really just an overview of some of the tools, which I’ll be expanding on in the weeks to come. 😀

    You’re welcome!
    They’re coming… just a little short on time at the moment. I’ve actually been really sick. I’ve been editing one that I started writing ages ago, so soon I hope!

    I just found your blog from your post about the GIMP at Creative Curio. I noticed you said most of your software is free. What programs do you use/recommend?

    (and great to see you have a few more readers as a result of the article!)

    Hey Paul, thanks for stopping by!
    In the sidebar (soon to be on a page of it’s own) is my links list. Under software is most of the programs that I use. I’ve got a few more installed, but those ones cover a good range of purposes.
    Is there anything you’re looking for in particular?

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
