GIMP Tutorials

Gimps's native format is .xcf, if you want to maintain layers, you must save it in this format! You may save as .jpg or .gif when you are done w/ an image. The image will look the same, but your multiple layers will be merged into one layer.

If an image is needed for a tutorial, you may open it from the Shared Drive (S:/Company Data Files/GIMP). Its name will be similar to the name of the tutorial; ex. RedEye_Removal.jpg is the image needed for the Removing Red Eye tutorial.
