Thread: Image Manipulation Programs

I've used GIMP for years. I'm not at all good at how it works but there are that many tutorials online it's not funny. I just follow them step by step and it works.


Happy Days.

Much of the user interface in Gimp implicitly assumes a lot of knowledge about photography, which may cause problems for beginners.

I don't have that problem, I first become interested in photography in 1971 ( yeah, I'm an old bloke) and I guess between 1971 and 1999 I would have photographed about 600 weddings not to mention studio portraiture with a Bronica ETRS large format camera, which I still have stored away, unused since 1999.
By the way I downloaded Paint.net and I'm like a kid with a new toy, having the time of my life playing with it.

Have you found a few good plugins? The Shapes 3D and the Water Reflections are good fun.

There are also some excellent tutorials. Have you found them?

If you need a free raw converter, then Lightzone is up & running again.
