I was recently introduced to Meet the Gimp which is a series of video-casts by Rolf Steinort. The Gimp stands for GNU Image Manipulation Programme and is the free as in beer, multiplatform open-source equivalent of Photoshop. Derek Shaw of SoSLUG has agreed with Rolf to put together a DVD of the first 46 episodes and to sell them for £5 plus £1.50 P&P. I bought a copy (which helps save on bandwidth) and I am currently working my way through them and have got to episode 13. If you want to buy yourself a copy then there are more details here or click on the button at the end of this post. The photo below was composed of 3 images that I took back in 2005, it was the composition of the triptych that I wanted to try.
