January 6 - Taming Gimp

When I first started using a drawing package the one I used was Corel Draw. It became very familiar to me and I could generally work out how to do anything I needed with it.

The price of the package took it out of my reach when it came time to upgrade my laptop so I tried alternatives. The one my husband used was Photoshop so I used it for a while but I had an uneasy relationship with it as the functionality was to alien to me.

Recently I've taken to using GIMP, a piece of Freeware that you can download. At first it seemed to be fairly noddy but as I've extended the use of it I've come to realise how powerful, and useful, it is.

Today my knowledge of Gimp took a leap forward as I was shown some stuff about it that I didn't know. Yay Gimp!
