Admin Post: A question for all you GIMP users

[jana]

I'm sure most of you have already heard about the DW anniversary party that's organized by three_weeks_for_dw and that starts Monday, April 26. My question is what awesome things we could or should do here at gimp_gate to join the festivities. Any ideas or suggestions? What would you like to see here during the fest?

I'm aware that lots of communities would love if you'd create content for the fest and I can see how the whole thing might get overwhelming fast... So, no pressure here. Also, you're more than welcome to post here even if you don't want your content to be "DW only".

I was planning to do another simple tutorial for the fest.

[jana]

Sounds like a great idea, seeing that many people in this community seem to be new to GIMP.

Would a basic colouring tute be welcome? I do a lot of icons in different colours?

[jana]

Absolutely :) Many people don't know much about GIMP, so basic tutorials are always welcome.

I'd love to see things directed at the absolute noob, since that would be me.

[jana]

Yes, basic tutorials are always good. I've also an idea for the fest, but I'm not sure how much time it will take to make, so I have to think about it some more. But I'll do something :)

If this isn't too trivial, I would love to see a really basic tutorial on how to blank out areas from a picture (e.g. just with rectangle select and bucket fill). I have a reason for wanting something like this to point people to, and it is connected with the festival :)

[jana]

This shouldn't be too difficult :) I'll see what I can do, but I'm not sure I can make it before Monday...

[kake]

That would be great — thank you! I'll need it for the Monday of the third week of the fest (i.e. 10th May), so you have a little more time to get it done :)

[jana]

I'll get it done this weekend (aiming for Saturday, but definitely before the 10th... ;) )

[kake]

You rock — thank you!

[jana]

You can find the tutorial here: http://gimp-gate.dreamwidth.org/8287.html

Please let me know if I missed anything, or it's not what you had in mind... And I'm sorry it took me so long!

Thanks! I'd just posted the entry I needed it for when I saw your comment, so I've edited it in now.
