The initial image is tilted and needs to be righted, using the angle tool to measure the degree of tilt to be corrected. A typical exercise describes how to improve a scanned image. After an introductory chapter, the book presents chapters covering correcting and touching up images, using masks and layers - painting, filling, and color tools, and working with black-and-white and color images. It also contains practice images for use with the examples in the book. A CD included with the book contains recent versions of the GIMP for Linux, Windows and OS X.

It is on by default.Īdditional information about changes in the new version is available on the GIMP website.GIMP 2 for Photographers provides essential help-by-example in the use of the many advanced GIMP tools.
