LXF releases PDFs of a bunch of my tutorials


It's a good thing I check my blog stats otherwise I never would have known about this.  Linux Format has released, through TuxRadar, the PDFs for 18 of my GIMP tutorials from my column in their magazine.  Pretty cool.  I'd always hoped they'd get a wider net audience.  Too bad I can't put them on my book site too.  Ah well, at least everyone can see them now.

Note that the downloads are by BitTorrent only at the moment.  So I can't link to individual PDFs from here.

The tutorials include the following:

  • Product Design For Geeks – How I made a T-Shirt design (which you can find on my CafePress site)
  • Shattered Face – Fast and easy way to break an object into many pieces
  • Leopard-style Icons – Icons like what you get on a Mac
  • Sin City Style – A little artwork similar in style to the popular Sin City movie.
  • Summer of Love – sun beams and a happy couple
  • Travel to the Stars – making space images
  • Going to Warp Speed – a warp effect like you might see on older Star Trek movies
  • Create a Fire Goddess – burn baby burn
  • Decay in the City – life after the apocalypse
  • Enhance the Interface – introducing gimp Paint Studio
  • ipod Fun – guess what this is?
  • Use other tools – GIMP with Scribus, Inkscape and OpenOffice
  • Text Effects – making a wine bottle
  • 3D effects in GIMP –
  • Speedy Color Fixes – fixing colors in photos
  • printing and Color – GIMP, CUPS, and Gutenprint
  • Know Your Selections – tips on using selections
  • Creative Text wtih GIMP – Map an image onto text so that the entire image is nothing but colored text but still looks like the image

You can see some of the resulting artwork from these tutorials in my LXF gallery.

Oh and one note for TuxRadar:  it's spelled “GIMP”, not “Gimp”.  :-)

But thanks for posting those!
