Free From XP (LinuxPro Magazine) GIMP Article

So, the last time I talked about LinuxPro Magazine was about having a simple give-away of the promotional copies I had received of their GIMP Handbook issue. At that time, I joked with the editor that surely it couldn’t be complete without anything written by me. :)

Then he called me out on my joke and asked me if I wanted to write an article for them.

So, I’ve got an article in LinuxPro Magazine Special Edition #18: Free From XP!

The article is aimed at new users switching over from XP to Linux, so the stuff I cover is relatively basic, like:

• The Interface
• Cropping
• Rotating
• Correcting Levels
• Brightness/Contrast
• Color Levels
• Curves
• Resizing
• Sharpening
• Saving & Exporting

Still, if you know someone who could use a hand switching, it certainly can’t hurt to pick a copy up! (You can get print and digital copies from their website: LinuxPro Magazine).

Here’s a quick preview of the first page of the article:

My hair doesn’t look anywhere near as fabulous as this image would have you believe...

Also, if anyone sees a copy on a newsstand, it would be awesome if you could send me a quick snap of it.

Linux Pro Magazine GIMP Handbook Special Edition

I received a few Promo copies of the Linux Pro Magazine GIMP Handbook Special Edition in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I’ve just been too busy to sit down and have a look at it in depth.

I did give it a few flip-throughs when I had a moment, though.
