- [Mike] Hi there, I'm Mike Rankin and welcome to GIMP Essential Training. The purpose of this course is to show you how to use GIMP 2.8, which is a powerful but free open source program for working with images. We'll start by touring GIMPs interface, preferences, and tools. We'll see the basics of creating and saving documents and working with layers. We'll create and adjust selections and masks, we'll use painting tools, as well as tools to retouch images and add text. And finally, we'll go over printing images and outputting them to file formats for print and web projects.
As you'll see in this course, GIMP has plenty of interesting and useful features to explore. So, let's get going right now with GIMP Essential Training.
