Starting from scratch - Bsquared88 - 08-18-2022

Where can I go to find the most basic of all tutorials here in the forum?  I'm learning from square 1.

What do you want to achieve in first place should be the real question...
I think it's this one, https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Gimp-101 but sadly it's not a tutorial nor linked to tutorials.

IMO you better search on youtube because "most basic" is already a Huuuge topic... and certainly not here nor in any forums as it's already assumed that people reading tutorials want to achieve something like an effect.
My advice is to find a good 1 or 2 hours video with GIMP opened at the same time and ready to pause the video to reproduce the steps in the video and prepare yourself for 5 times the length of the video repeating what you see in the video (those who learned to start with Blender by making that donut know what I'm speaking about Big Grin )

BTW this is the wrong sub-forum to open a thread asking for help Big Grin

This tutorial section is not large, go back to page 7 and work back, for anything that interests you. The problem I found with making tutorials is most basic stuff has been done (and done again and again and...) These days I might make something specific for a forum member.

There are plenty old and new on youtube, New is not always best, plenty with self-promotion, verbose bs and little actual Gimp content.

For non-video, reasonably up-to-date worth checking this site: https://www.mora-foto.it/en/tutorials-gimp/all-tutorials.html It does lean towards Photo Editing but the basics are there.

Ooooh yes mora-foto, OMG... and it was already in my long old Firefox bookmarks (I saw the blue star on the URI address bar)
