Tutorials in PDF Format

[arsheesh]

Hey there Vandy. I thought I'd pop in to let you know about a couple of new GIMP pdf tutorials:

• Candicis' Antique-Style Maps in GIMP tutorial (based on Ascension's tut)
• My own tutorials: Making Map Borders in GIMP, Eriond - A Tutorial for GIMP and Wilbur and Turning Maps into Globes in GIMP.

Cheers,

Hello everybody.

Looks like my english ist too bad (I'm German), because I'm working with Giide's "Ascension's Atlas Tutorial in GIMP" and have some problems there.

On Site 2 stands:

k. Switch to the Channels dialog (if you don't see it, you can make it appear by using the Windows Dockable Dialogs menu option. At the bottom of the channels dialog, click the new channel icon. Name
the new channel Coastline, and check the box for Initialize from Selection.

I don't understand what "... and check the box for Initialize from Selection." means. Which box must I checked in Gimp 2.6? I can't find any checkbox with the Name "Initialize from Selection" or anything like that (or a german counterpart).

Please don't let me walk in the dark.

Cincerely,

Chazsmyr

Hey there! I found this tutorial by Hai-Etlik for inkscape already in pdf format and noticed it wasn't already in the index on here. Hopefully this helps in some way. I'm currently going through it (I decided to use inkscape) and I've found it to be pretty helpful.

Just an FYI, since Vandy hasn't been around recently and there are tons of great tutorials in PDF format that were not listed, I've just updated and expanded this thread to include them. Hopefully this will make this thread more useful for new members. I've searched up to 12 pages into the Tutorials archives so anything older than that hasn't been included. So if you see anything else that should be included please post a message and I'll add it to the list.

Cheers,

Is there any GIMP tutorial that is completely for beginners? I have practically no clue in using it, and the tutorials have "Basic knowledge is expected from readers" tagged in it.

I think the Gimp website is a good place to start : http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/

Most of the turorials here are there to help making maps not to exlain how the software works.
