Beginning GIMP Reviews

From the reviews:

Peck's textbook provides a thorough treatment of topics ranging from installation (on various platforms) and background on common graphic file formats, to drawing, photograph manipulation, filters/effects, and even scripting ... . In addition, a thorough treatment of the tools useful to experienced designers is provided ... . Peck's book is effective in showing just how far GIMP has progressed in 12 years. Beginners may be surprised ... with this free application, especially with the assistance of this clear, concise, and attractive textbook. (Ian van der Linde, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (2), February, 2008)
