Update and the myth of DPI

[jana]

The last couple of weeks, I've been adding more links to gimpgate on delicious. I think the collection covers most of the (English-written) GIMP tutorial/forum websites out there, but in case I've missed some, or you know of good websites in other languages, you can tell me by commenting here; comments there will be screened to avoid unnecessary spam or advertising in the future. Also, I'd like to hear if you know of good stock websites, websites with large font, brush, or texture collections, or any other kinds of resources that might come in handy when creating something with GIMP. Thanks for your help! :)

In other news, I've stumbled upon an article about the myth of DPI, in which the author explains what you need to know about the resolution in digital images bound for the web. He also explains what you need to keep in mind when using images in fluid-width layouts.

Thank you for your hard work!

It's great to have a good listing of tutorials for GIMP, but I'll be sure to pick at my collection to see if there's anything missing :D.

You're welcome :) And, yeah, let me know if you find some useful resources in your collection, I mean there's so much out there, it's pretty much impossible to find it all the 'good stuff' yourself... ;)

Thank you! What a fantastic resource. I've added your Delicious links page to mine.

And I knew that about DPI, but I've never seen such a lucid and thorough explanation. Great stuff.

I knew this about DPI, too, but I couldn't really say that I understood all of it, so this article made things much clearer. Anyway, I'm glad you find the link collection useful :)
