Adding a bit of glamour to a B&W image.

WTG Dinasset and Racer.
We need a board so people can (Not put up full tutorials) but little examples of how a certain tool works - what it does and can do etc.
I know I have learnt a little bit about some tools by watching or reading tutorials but do not always want to go that track. Maybe if we (us beginners) were told about tools - shown what they can do - we could try them out for ourselves then.

I was just checking and there already is a sub-folder for "How to..." in the index below. Users can just put "How to do x in GIMP" in the heading. For many of us, explaining processes can get tedious. Which is why I would recommend videos, which can be paused, replayed, or followed with audio.
