Description

Have you always wanted to do the things the pro's are doing? Now you can!

In this course I will cover all aspects of photo editing, I have learned in the last 15 years working in the field of professional photo editing, and I will leave no stone unturned. I will show you everything in easy to follow steps. 

In this course you will learn: 

How to configure GIMP 2.8 to make it look and act as Photoshop, how to improve and correct photographs professionally, how to work with layers, how to crop images, how to resize images, how to save images for web, how to save images for print, and how to make PDF's. You will learn professional retouching, like skin retouching with frequency separation, Liquify (for example to make someone thinner), how to let the program remove objects, and how to remove objects with the clone and heal tool.

You will learn how to use masks, and how to make selections. And with the Google Nik Collection, you will learn how to make professional 'single click' selections using the 'U-point technology', that give photorealistic results (this is not possible in Photoshop). You will learn how to use text, how to make e-book covers, how to sharpen an image, how to create professional black and white images, and how to remove noise. You will learn everything about blending modes, selecting hair, gradients, patterns, using a tablet, brushes, dodging and burning, color theory,  and much more! 

And if you have ANY questions, please let me now. I am here for you!

The comparison of Disney using transparent sheets to digital layers finally made the whole layer thing "click" for me! Bravo.

This is a very good class. Even though Gimp 2.10.30 is out I was able to configure using the files he provides in this course, you just have to go through and find their locations within the Gimp 2.0 folder. Overall very good course to learn Gimp. Plus it's free. Thank you!

Aunque mi idioma natal es el español, con mis conocimientos básicos del inglés y la clara explicación del orador, es un curso muy bueno de Gimp, aunque sea de la versión 2.8, ya que muchos de los conceptos, se pueden aplicar a la versión actual de Gimp.

Very detailed, but the tone is a bit monotone, would have been great if the teacher was a bit more enthusiastic :-)

I have only done a few lessons and realize that as I go along there is a lot of very valuable information inside, even though it is taught on an older version of GIMP

Muito bom o instrutor, explica com calma, clareza e exemplos práticos. Vim ao curso porque já queria usar o GIMP há um tempo e não havia achado um curso tão bom quanto este( e ainda mais gratuito) . Muito bom pra quem nem sabe começar no GIMP. Meus agradecimentos ao Bennard pelo seu trabalho!
