Hey peoples. I used Gimp a lot back in the day. I kinda died out in my use, but the release of 2.8 has revived my interest. So here I am. I've changed computers a couple times, but if anyone is interested, I can dig up some of the stuff I've done in the past. I'm hoping to find some creative ideas here for ways to edit my photos.

I would love to see some of your work. And I think you will find the newer features in Gimp are really cool.

I've got a couple of them lingering in my Photobucket account. I'll post some of those links for viewing.

Not really sure what to call it:

Kinda cocky iPod commercial copy (it's a bit of an inside joke with some friends of mine):

Droste effect:

As you can see. I usually just edit pictures of myself. And I don't really have anything great. But I have fun with it. You can probably get a taste for the types of edits I like to do. So I'm hoping I'll be able to find tutorials and stuff here to match my interests.

Greetings Stonkey...welcome to Gimp Chat.
Very interesting stuff you have there, I like the Droste effect and also the three of you. You blended them together very well.

That Spiral is amazing. How on earth did you do it?

I used the MathMap plugin for GIMP. So I'm not really that awesome. Haha.

Thanks everyone. Anyone got a suggestion for a tutorial to get me started here in Gimp Chat?

It is quite difficult to pick out tutorials for other people but we do have several here in our tutorial section to choose from, both text and video. You should find something you like in this very long list.
