Gimp Tutorial - Mirrored Ball on Checkered Plane

,----[ Quote ]
| Everybody knows that Mirrored Ball on Checkered Plane is the exclusive domain 
| of 3D ray-tracers, in programs like Yafray and Blender and POVray, and in 
| fact is such a cliche that it's the canonical first image you post in a 
| POVray group as a rite-of-passage.

Gimp Tutorial - Metallic Text

| I figured the old chrome-text tutorial over at the Gimp User Group site could 
| use both an update and an enhancement of technique. Mine is done on Gimp 
| version 2.2.13.

Gimp Tutorial - Pebbles

,----[ Quote ]
| Here's a topic I don't see a tutorial on anywhere. While Gimp is NOT a 3D 
| ray-tracer, it does have some plug-ins that perform simple 3D functions. 
| We're going to exploit the "Map Object" plug-in for all it's worth, here. 
| Then we'll look at a more common method.

Instrumented GIMP To Identify Usability Flaws

,----[ Quote
| New users of the GIMP often become frustrated at the application's unwieldy 
| user interface. Now Prof. Michael Terry and a group of researchers at the 
| University of Waterloo have created ingimp, a modified version of the GIMP 
| that collects real-time usability data in order to help the GIMP developers 
| find and fix its usability problems.

Linux VS Windows usability.

,----[ Quote ]
| It all boils down to knowing what you are doing. Trying to do anything 
| without the required knowledge is hard and the professionals make everything 
| look easy. I would say that in terms of usability Linux has the upper hand.

Gimp 2.3 (preview of 2.4) 

,----[ Quote ]
| The major change for this release seems to be a big usability 
| overhaul. New defaults are now in place that make the Gimp look 
| a little bit like Photoshop, but still has many features that 
| make it unique.

Gimp Tutorial - Popout Photo

,----[ Quote ]
| Really, this tutorial will be about masking: taking a photograph and 
| separating a foreground subject from the background, for the purposes of 
| doing something interesting with it.
