All you need to know on GIMP in one book!
Very good reference manual - its all here in one book...what I liked the most is the fact that I don't have to buy two or three books to get my questions answered - EVERYTHING is here! Sure, its a big book, but its all there!!!

Finally I can use GIMP without going back to the internet to look up some 'how to' answer on some forum and waste hours trying to find out how to do something...I just look it up here, and presto, I can carry on.

If you use GIMP, GET THIS BOOK!!! You'll find it will answer any question you have and get your projects done faster and BETTER then trying to figure it out for yourself.

Well Recommended! (and cheap too!)

Finally the help I need
GIMP is a great and free photoshop program. With this manual it is even easier than photoshop. Though the font is small, the information is invaluable. At 600 pages it would easily go to a thousand with the larger font. Publisher made a good decision because it is user friendly and you can solve any problems you are having with the photo program.

Not Very Current
As far as it goes this large book full of tiny type and oddly worded English sentences is okay. But it doesn't address the mechanics of GIMP 2.6.7 and 2.6.7 which are the versions circulating in September 2009. Looks like 2.4 and 2007 is about where new content stopped in this edition published in 2009. So processes described as accomplishing some action or another may be different. I'm going back to the web for more information than I think I should have to for owning a thirty dollar book. It's your money. It was mine.
