The GIMP

Go to Borders or Barnes and Noble ...maybe some other national chain..you will find a manual I think...I believe I saw 'Gimp for Dummies' Doubt you will find a complete video tutorial since Gimp is an open source/free program...However if you go to YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
you will find several tutorials...none are complete ones but it should help you

Hi Community,

is there any body out there who know or know of a complete manual and/or video on how to fully use the GIMP program. I am particularly interested in it for making stencils for portraits.

thanks for the tip but I have already been to youtube. In fact that is where I first discovered GIMP
