GimpLite Quickies
If you don’t have the desire to make blends or anything advanced, then the quickie tutorial would be a good start. Basically this covers how to edit the most basics of an image, like re-sizing, cropping, finding info about the image or small projects like that. Very simple and basic. This would also be just a good place to start even if you want to become advanced with the GIMP.

This tutorial will show you the steps you need to create brushes for your own use or for the sharing with the GIMP community. br/br br/br p class=img-middle a href=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10076/10076_brush.jpg img src=http://media.laptoplogic.com/upload-images/10076/large/10076_brush.jpg alt= //a/p br/br You can view it here - a href=http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Custom_Brushes/ rel=nofollowCustom Brushes/a br/br br/br h2Converting Photoshop Into GIMP Brushes/h2 Of course if you don’t feel like making your own brushes, then you can always download Photoshop brushes and convert them into GIMP brush format.
