Digital Brushes Class (Here)***
Starting class now. In this class I will be teaching a few techniques using digital brushes. I will be teaching the class using GIMP. I hope that my ideas are easy to transfer into other programs .

Hello ladies! Glad to see you.
Most people wonder what the difference is between a brush and a stamp/element. I like to think of brushes as stamps, elements and a bit more. Brushes achieve a wider range of effects because you are able to paint with them, erase with them, and even airbrush with them.

To start out if you are using Gimp:
When you open GIMP the following three screens should appear:
***Just some things to remember while working on your layout: 1. You can always hit "edit" and "undo" if you did something you don't like or was an accident. 2. Remember to save your work periodically!!***
When you open GIMP the following three screens should appear:
- The Main Toolbox: This contains a set of icon buttons that can be used to select tools. Docked below these icon buttons is a Tool Options dialog, showing options for the currently selected tool.
- The Image Window: Each image open in GIMP is displayed in a separate window. Many images can be open at the same time: the limit is set only by the amount of system resources. This window contains some of the higher level menus within its top tool bar.
- The Layers Dialog: This dialog window shows the layer structure of the currently active image, and allows it to be manipulated in a variety of ways. (For scrapbooking purposes - this window makes it possible to see your building process).

Hi! I am here and ready to learn
Re: Digital Brushes Class (Here)***
The tools that use brushes are:
Pencil: This tool gives a harder edge when using brushes.
Paint: This tool gives a smoother and lighter edge when using brushes.
Eraser: Takes away from a current layer.
Airbrush: Gives only a hint of color when using brushes.
The other tools are the clone tool, the healing tool, perspective clone tool, the blur/sharpen tool, the smudge tool, dodge/burn tool.
We will use the top four today.

I'm not sure how similar they are because I have never used photoshop. However, GIMP is a photo editing program comparable to other programs out there. Big difference is that it is open sourced (free)
