Over 90 Free GIMP & Photoshop Ebooks, Cheat Sheets & Tutorials

Over 90 Free GIMP & Photoshop Ebooks, Cheat Sheets & Tutorials


Don’t think Photoshop needs any form of introduction. Most of us
knows and heard of it even though some of us never actually used it
before. GIMP in the other hand, also needs no introduction and best
known as the so called hottest emerging alternative Photoshop open
source software.

If you have no idea what open source means, it simple
says that GIMP is free. I won’t be going into the context of debating
the pros and cons for each software, but to jump straight into the
available reading resources available for these 2 great softwares.
