Article on Fedora Magazine

[Sylvia Sánchez]

Hello all!
I'm going to write some articles on Fedora Magazine about the
programmes I use to design. The first one is going to be about Gimp.
Is there any point or issues you'd like to suggest for the article?
I'd like to make it as complete and polished as possible.



Cheers and thanks,
Sylvia

Sylvia,

Awesome! So glad to hear you want to contribute.

The first place you should check is the magazine itself:
https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-an-article-for-the-fedora-magazine/

In this article there are guidelines about joining the authors group, the
editorial team, and pitching your article.

FYI, another place you can contribute this type of content is the Fedora
Community Blog: http://communityblog.fedoraproject.org (We can also
syndicate your content there as well.)

Hope these help, and good luck with your pitch :)

I'm already writing there.
My question is about Gimp. If you think there's any features or tool
that you would like to see in the article.

Hope now I explained myself better.



Cheers,
Sylvia

I think this would work best if you have an audience or a use-case in
mind. Gimp is such a big, full-featured program that just writing about
it in general is hard. Maybe "Gimp for photo-retouching" or "Gimp for
digital painting"... or maybe even something more specific. (It could
even be a series of articles, then.)

Hi,

Matt GIMP is not the best option for digital painting, you can do it with
it but its not so well, there was/is a project called GPS(GIMP Paint
Studio) for it, which adjusted the GUI for it but today the developer is
part of Krita team, after he worked for mypaint. Even photo retouche is a
broad area, you have to pick a tiny bit for it and mostly you have to pick
something with "WOW factor"

I suggested a few days ago making a tutorial row for the Ambassadors and
doing a so called "Global Wallpaper Hunt" for F24, looking to this Sky
Replacement would be a fine topic and this way the people can pop up their
holiday pictures.

Hello,

I just joined to the mailing list a week ago therefore my knowledge
is limited in this particular tread.
I just want to comment on the GIMP retouching tutorial. s. Kempter
suggested an even more specific part of retouching using GIMP.
I guess using frequency separation to deide texture and tones for
retouching would be very appropriate and state of the art nowdays.
Especially for skin tone and texutre related retuch tasks.

Best regards,

Karoly

Oh, thank you!
That was the kind of things I wanted to add to my article.

Wow factor is good, but some "hey, you can do these basic things that
people think you have to buy photoshop for", too.

Well, I can write detailed articles in the future.
But right now I wanted some  "you don't need Photoshop to do this" stuff.
Just that.
