Next Monday, 22th of September, at 18:30, haifux is about to meet and
hear Eli Billauer's talk about

        GIMP tutorial workshop meeting

GIMP is the most well-known image editing application among Linux
users, and still most of us struggle when attempting to accomplish the
simplest real-life task with it. The application is considered a
Photoshop parallel, even though it doesn't attempt to imitate the
latter. It's a free software project, available at no cost for
GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris and many others.

The workshop will consist of no slides, but some simple whiteboard
explanations and a lot of demonstrations. Focus will be given to basic
issues and everyday tasks, and those small pieces of knowledge which
makes GIMP a handy tool. The meeting has an agenda to start with, but
will be conducted in a free manner, so audience's interests may
influence its content to a large extent.

This workshop will be dedicated to layers and layer masks for three
main reasons:

    * Not understanding layers properly is a recipe for a lot of
frustration (usually without knowing that the problem involves layers)
    * Using layers wisely saves a lot of work.
    * Very pretty results are easy to achieve, once the techniques are known.

There are several other subjects ready for future meetings, should the
audience show interest in such.
