Mood accomplished

In case you haven't heard yet,

erda is running Three Weeks for Dreamwidh in celebration of Dreamwitdh's one-year anniversary (the start date for the fest is planned to be Monday, April 26). The idea is that participants post content specifically produced for the fest only on DW - for three weeks from the posting date. After that time you can post it wherever you want (and, yes, you can continue posting your regular content as you like). If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the fest, please comment on

erda's entry.

So, let's celebrate this together! I'll participate, too :) And speaking of creating content, here is a great collection of (gimp) brushes to look for inspiration...

This entry isn't about The GIMP, but today is the World Day Against Cyber Censorship, and I believe it is an important issue that we should all be aware of. Feel free to spread the word. Stop Cyber Censorship. Protect Online Free Speech.

Mood determined

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.

Mood good

I've seen that people have started subscribing to this community, so welcome everyone! I hope you enjoy this community and find lots of opportunities to share your GIMP love with other users.

As I've mentioned in an earlier post, I don't have much time at the moment to devote to this project as I would like, but I'll try to make weekly posts here, and I'll also try to add more useful stuff to the delicious link collection (I'm open for suggestions!). Anyway, this is a community, so feel free to post your own questions, ideas, thoughts, challenges and more -- as long as it's somehow related to The GIMP ^^

And here are the promised photo editing tricks: 10 Sweet GIMP Photo Editing Tricks to Wean You Off Photoshop. This is a post that goes out to people who might not know about GIMP, or think it's nothing like Photoshop, but obviously this kind of post is quite useful for GIMP users, too. It covers 1) photo batch processing, 2) how you can sharpen photos, 3) how you can make your own brushes, 4) how you can make a lightsaber, 5) how you can create a swirly wallpaper or water drop effect, 6) how you can create an explosion in outer space, 7) how you can convert photos to sketches, 8) how you can mix black & white with color, 9) how you can convert photos to neon, and 10) how you can draw graffiti.

EDIT: Added a list of the things the article covers (some of you might want to know before you click on the link...)
