Grokking
the GIMP
by Carey Bunks
Textbook Binding - 352 pages 1 edition (February 2000)
New Riders Publishing; ISBN: 0735709246
The excitement described by Carey
Bunks when he first beheld the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP)
in 1996 is palpable when you hold Bunks's new book in your hands.
The phantasmagoric image on the cover of Grokking the GIMP: Advanced
Techniques for Working with Digital Images melds a photograph of
the moon's surface from a high orbit with an apparent solar eclipse
by the earth. A penguin floats discretely in a hot air balloon between
sun-earth and moon. Is the sun-moon-earth image a bit of the penguin's
imagination? Is it a piece of GIMP artist/developer Tuomas Kuosmanen's
imagination? Maybe it is really a credit to the visionaries at New
Riders who have produced an art book to suit the computer how-to
market.

graphic art techniques and web media creation using GIMP. The GIMP
is a fairly complex program with many features and capabilities,

users. Sams Teach Yourself Gimp in 24 Hours takes you step-by-step
through image creation and manipulation and teaches you the techniques
for producing high-quality digital art. This book is neither a "dummied
down" guide for novice computer users nor an incomprehensible technical
