GIMP Article

[Ryan Lerch]

As per the last meeting, i jumped in and started looking at the GIMP
article, have a few ideas on how to group the content to make it even more
useful for our readers.

It might be good to split this up (rather then breaking down what each menu
does), into a couple of sorta mini-tutorials with set goals, i was thinking
something like:

1. Opening a file, and saving it (and exporting it)
2. Basic editing of the whole image (this one could maybe be something like
desaturating the image to make it monochrome)
3. SHowing how to draw on the image with the brush (sort of a gateway into
painting in GIMP)

I'll have a go at editing the first paragraph too

OKies, did a bit of editing on the article,

https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=11874&action=edit

Feel free to love it or leave it (and maybe update the screenshots)

I have fleshed out a few headers that i think cover the basics of getting
someone up to speed in GIMP: the first few i wrote out so hopefully you all
can see what i am intending here:

1. Getting GIMP in fedora
2. enabling single window mode (this is a big one lots of people ask for)
3. Opening an image
4. resizing an image
5. Basic colour editing (my idea here is to run thorugh doing something
simple like desaturate)
6. Saving your image
7. Exporting your image

cheers,

I just gave the article a quick lookover, and I think it looks 
excellent. I'm +1 to what we have so far!

Hi everybody!

For the Installing part I have to suggest to make a search first.
That way the user can install everything related to Gimp  (including
scripts and extra tools)  instead of the bare main programme.  Just an
idea.
I'll add some more stuff later on.

Cheers
Sylvia
