Hello and welcome to my course, GIMP Complete: GIMP Graphic Design, Book Covers and Drawing, the longest and most comprehensive GIMP course on Udemy.

The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is a free Photoshop like graphic design software program that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux.

This 40+ hour course is a merge of all 6 of my GIMP courses along with a short course on setting up a WordPress website to display your graphics. I built this course by merging the following Udemy courses:
