Tips for all the main things to add in to GIMP to make it more powerful (and some info on how and where to add them): more brushes, changing aspect ratio without distortion,
Great set of tutorials including adding grafitti, textures, folded and cut papercraft, steampunk etc. And that's just on the first page!
Make your whole (formerly color) photo B&W except for one standout bit in color. Awesome effect. This one uses the select tool to choose and cutout the part in the B&W layer that will let the colored layer show through. Another tutorial uses painting to paint transparency through a mask.
Creating a tearoff effect in GIMP. Lots of steps but cool to learn about clouds and floating layers. There's also a plugin (uses Python) that is supposed to create this effect more easily.
Another tutorial on selective colorization. This one uses a different way to select the part you are coloring - creating a layer mask and painting transparency onto the layer instead of free select and cutting. Sounds more versatile.
Excellent tutorial shows how to use quickmask to apply effects.
shrink and gaussian blur - read up on these!
Free resources for e-learning. Includes list of free stock photo sites and much more!
Powerful series of steps. Involves duplicating layer, Colors/Curves to increase contrast, then then make B&W with colors desaturate (using luminosity). Then colors, invert, use big brush to paint face white (all this
to make the mask).
Back to original layer, add layer mask. Cut the B&W layer and paste into layer mask
Finish with cloning tool to get rid of the little problems next to the hair.
Wow.
Bunch of GIMP tutorials including using clone tool to remove wrinkles, using Filters/Distort/Iwarp/move to make a person skinnier, changing hair color and many others.
Talks about the Select by Color Tool and the options to add more colors to the selection, and the threshold setting which helps select other colors near it.
Best one I've found. This one works and makes sense. Though I don't understand some of the steps. Can I incorporate these steps with the faster foreground select tool?
This one uses masks. I need to learn this.
for opening eps (encapsulated postcript) files in GIMP
lots of Colors menu/Auto options.
