GIMP fo r Photography, Spec ia l E f fec t s , and Des ign

about the author Michael J. Hammel has been involved with GIMP since version 0.54 and was a contributor to the early development of the program. Hammel wrote a column on GIMP for Linux Format for three years and is the author of The Artists’ Guide to the GIMP and Essential GIMP for Web Professionals. He is an embedded software engineer living in Colorado Springs.

Web design techniques to create navigation tabs, icons, fancy buttons, backgrounds, and borders

Type effects to create depth, perspective shadows, metallic and distressed text, and neon and graffi ti lettering

Advertising effects to produce movie posters and package designs; simulate clouds, cracks, cloth, and underwater effects; and create specialized lighting

Whether you’re new to GIMP or you’ve been playing with this powerful software for years, you’ll be inspired by the original art, creative photo manipulations, and numerous tips for designers.

As a full-featured, free alternative to Adobe Photoshop, GIMP is one of the world’s most popular open source projects. The latest version of GIMP brings long-awaited improvements and power-ful new tools to make graphic design and photo manipulation even easier—but it’s still a notoriously challenging program.

The Artist’s Guide to GIMP teaches you how to use GIMP without a tedious list of menu paths and options. Instead, as you follow along with Michael J. Hammel’s step-by-step instructions, you’ll learn to produce professional-looking advertisements, apply impressive photographic effects, and design cool logos and text effects. These extensively illustrated tutorials are perfect for hands-on learning or as templates for your own artistic experiments.

After a crash course in GIMP’s core tools like brushes, patterns, selections, layers, modes, and masks, you’ll learn:

Photographic techniques to clean up blemishes and dust, create sepia-toned antique images, swap colors, produce motion blurs, alter depth of fi eld, simulate a tilt-shift, and fi x rips in an old photo
