Image Editing has become a key element in the photographic workflow. Image
editing tools, most notably Photoshop, are usually sophisticated and deep applications
- and fairly expensive. The only open source tool in this market is the GIMP,
which has developed into a powerful multiplatform system, running on Linux,
as well as OS X and Windows.
This book has evolved from the classroom materials the author developed and
used in courses and workshops on Image Editing with the GIMP. It covers the
basics of image editing and guides the reader through the functions and tools
of GIMP from simple adjustments to more advanced techniques with layers and
masks. The more important editing functions are presented in individual workshops.
Moreover, the book covers the stitching of panoramic images and preparation
of high-quality black and white images.
About the Author
Klaus Goelker is an architect and photographer who lives and works in Munich,
Germany. He also teaches courses on image editing at a local art school. He
chose GIMP to teach this class because it was free and yet powerful enough to
do serious photographic image editing.
