I think her English is fine - guessing a Dutch accent. Thank you GIMP teacher, I've been struggling with GIMP and learned a lot. You are a good teacher,
You are absolutely right! The person who created this video invested time and put efforts to teach people something, and a person who does that deserves respect
So many people don't know how to tech what they know, and the student will be lost. You are very good, and make it easy to understand. Thank you so very much. I just subscribed to your channel.
LOVE YOUR TUTES! I bought a VERY expensive Photoshop program a few years back, paid hundreds of dollars, and never used it as it was so complicated. Then I happened onto Gimp a few days back and headed to RUclips for the tutes. I found yours to be one of the easiet and clearest and now I am excited to use Gimp. THANK YOU so much for sharing!
I really hate all of the negative comments left for people's videos on You Tube. Someone took the time to share their knowledge with others. If there was hate speech or the like I could see the negative comments. People really need to step out of their "perfection" and remember that if you don't have anything nice to say then shut your trap! All I have to say is THANK YOU for taking the time to try and help beginners. Blessings to you.
Your vids on GIMP are the best I have found on RUclips. Your voice is pleasant to listen to. The demo is thorough yet concise. Thanks for sharing....... An improvement would be to stop using "and" as verbal filler. This last comment is not intended to hurt your feelings. I apologize if I offended you. (*_*)
Thanks you for this video. It is perfect for "brushing up" on GIMP if you have not used it in a while. Thought you would be pleased to know that your video continues to help people 5 years after posting!!!
Thanks for the intro video! I've been a Photoshop user for years. Recently I have moved to a Linux distro for web development (makes coding and such much easier) and need an alternative. GIMP seems to be the open source alternative. There is a learning curve that I am getting over, but these videos help! Thanks again! And to all viewers wondering whether or not Photoshop is "better" than GIMP, it really depends on the user. If you are learning either of these for the first time, it doesn't matter. They both have a learning curve. If money is a factor, then GIMP for sure. MONEY is typically the answer here. If you're going to pay for or pirate Photoshop, then Photoshop. Making the same image in this video would take less steps and you can copy layer styling (like drop shadows) to use on another layer. You do not have to dedicate a whole layer to drop shadows and other filters. Happy Editing!
I use both photoshop and Gimp on a regular basis, there is nothing I can do in one that I cannot do in the other. Gimp has more fancy tools for doing stuff like randomly generating stars or textures, but you can probably pay extra and get the same tools for photoshop.
I just recently got gimp I have watched three other videos and learned nothing from them. I learned more from your one video than the other three put together. You really addressed my skill level. Keep up the good work, looking for more tutorial help from you.
Thank you for this tutorial. Probably the best for beginners I have viewed. You did a good job showing how you built the image. The step by step walk through and simple project were very helpful.
just getting started with GIMP after giving up on photoshop elements. this intro to layers was very helpful. I was using a demo version of photshop elements and was getting no where for what i was trying to do. THANK YOU.
Was struggling so much with GIMP as I did not find it intuitive at all. Your tutorial is excellent and has really given me a good understanding of layers. Would have deleted this program and tried something else if it wasn't for you. Thanks very much!
Outstanding introduction to layers, blending, text, selection, growing and shrinking selections, and doing drop shadows. Thank you GIMPTricks!! The light at the end of the tunnel is starting to grow :) David
Thank you for a clear and fairly concise video. Just about the right speed...though I may need to watch it again sometime. You have a better command of english than a lot of English people. If only more youtube videos were like this. Thank you
Great tutorial. Some people are just never satisfied - maybe they should try to make some tutorials to see how difficult it is to keep up the commentary and still make sure you don't use words like "and" and "um"
This is really cool. I've used GIMP for years and really haven't been able to do a lot with it because I didn't know how to use it. Good tutorial. Good English, too.
Thank you for creating this wonderfully clear and concise video. It was very helpful! Just installed GIMP after using Paint Shop Pro for years. After installation I messed around in GIMP for a day and didn't snap to some of the simplest things. This video cleared that up. I'm very impressed with GIMP.
Such a pleasant voice and lovely accent. I learned a lot, you are a great teacher. Don't worry about the haters! They find something to complain about, no matter what you do or don't do. I actually feel sorry for them. I can only imagine, how awful their daily existence must be...filled with hate and negativity, to the point where it spills over in negative actions and words towards others...just to get a little release from what's bundled up inside of them. Thank you for the great video!
I'm very new to these types of programs but I like this one and it is free which is a very big plus. I got a good deal on photo shop element so I bought it but plane to use both. Very good entry level demo Where I needed to start. I've been learning embroidery digitizing, Vinyl and rhinestone designing and now this for sublimation. All in the past 6 months. I've paid around $1500 for software and I am surprised how much this one will do....for free ! I have no complaints.
I appreciate that you take the time to help newbies to the program. I think it is like Illustrator and I am quite excited about GIMP that I have downloaded today. I will continue to watch the tutorials
Great tutorial for beginners, thanks for making this. I've tried to use GIMP in the past, but I get so frustrated after 5 minutes and give up, but this time I've lasted 10, so that's the best yet. :)
But Photoshop costs more and GIMP is free You might ask why can't you just buy Photoshop? Because some people don't have enough money or they are too lazy to buy it or they are too young (14-15) to buy it. And I have a question. Why did you just go on this tutorial and say Photoshop is better? If it's better just go on Photoshop and work on it. Instead of going on here and trying to tell poor people to get Photoshop. Bitch.
Sparst Ifrazi Oi stop calling me poor faggot! I downloaded Photoshop free trial and Gimp because of my need to get transparent photos (removing the background), First I opened Gimp and watched one tutorial, i could do exactly what i wanted and nothing more i needed. So Gimp was sufficient enough for me at this stage, Photoshop can be bought for £20/35$ if i needed it or anyone needed t
Alex Peek Sorry. By poor I mean, people who don't have enough money to buy anything that's too big (like the ps3/ps4 or apple products). And "faggot", I'm not gay, you just have nothing to say to insult me. And by the way, I'm not British. I don't use pounds. And I do not know the equality of pounds to US currency. So first of all, I'm not gay, by poor I mean the people who can't buy expensive shit, and I'm an American. Stop acting like the real smart ass and go fuck a dolphin then drown in a puddle.
These tutorials of yours are perfect-easy to understand and repeat, with clear instructions , both visuals and voiceovers. I'm learning a LOT from you, Thank you so very much! ^_^
Thank you so much! I learned a lot from your video, and will watch more of them. You have a very good, concise style of teaching: not too much, not too little, not too fast, not too slow. And you speak perfect English! I enjoy hearing different accents, all of which together make a beautiful linguistic rainbow stretching over the sky of God's Creation of humanity. Thank you again, David
Thank you! I just downloaded Gimp and really looking forward to learning from you! This was the first video and it was really helpful! Thank you so much!
Incredibly helpful! Thank you very much! :D It's so hard to find someone who has done a nice BEGINNING tutorial that is slow enough for you to keep up with. So thanks again! :D
Thanks. Very clear, and useful to me -sometimes a little fast for me, but I just go back again. And thanks for not mixing it with your favourite music! (as many tutorials do)
Great video! I had my Gimp open during the tutorial, pausing your video and following each step. First time I've done anything useful in Gimp. Word of warning to others. Make sure the mode in bucket-fill is set to normal. Mine was mistakenly set to something else, and I had a terrible time filling the text border. Once I figured out the mode was wrong, everything worked exactly as it should.
Hey, Had the same prob. Open Gimp. now go through this process on Gimp: Windows Tab > Dockable Dialogs > Layers. A quicker way is to hold CTR then press L.. But remember either one and you're fine =)
What an excellent video! thank you. OK the dialog is a little fast but pause/ rewind then go check in with the gimp tool yourself. just trying to use the basics to produce simple headers and book covers. many thanks rik
I loved and understood her accent/English very well. In fact it is the first GIMP video where I felt like I understood something about GIMP when it was done. She is wonderful! I have 25 years + collage experience in photography, the old fashioned way, retouch/airbrush,etc. This is very helpful for me trying to translate to the computer. Are there more of these, and w th photo editing of photographs?.I am new to computers.
Thanks for making this basic video. I am just a beginner and I found some of the other assume you know how to do the basic things while they are explaining.
Thanku so much for making this because I was so confused about layers -.- I messed up a lot of good pictures because I just didn't know what I was doing. So thanks again :]

I have found this very helpful. Straight forward and I have no trouble understanding the accent.
It's nice to listen to someone who really knows what they are talking about. Very useful video. Thanks
Thank you! This was very easy for me to follow. I made a logo of my own while watching each step (I had to press pause and step back a few times).
I really hate all of the negative comments left for people's videos on You Tube. Someone took the time to share their knowledge with others. If there was hate speech or the like I could see the negative comments. People really need to step out of their "perfection" and remember that if you don't have anything nice to say then shut your trap!
All I have to say is THANK YOU for taking the time to try and help beginners. Blessings to you.
If you could redo this for the current GIMP 2.8 version, it would really be helpful.
lovely dutch accent with crisp clear english and no loud music.I found the video very helpful thank you.
Your vids on GIMP are the best I have found on RUclips. Your voice is pleasant to listen to. The demo is thorough yet concise. Thanks for sharing....... An improvement would be to stop using "and" as verbal filler. This last comment is not intended to hurt your feelings. I apologize if I offended you. (*_*)
I watched this same tutorial about 6 weeks ago and thought I would never be able to figure this out. Today it made all kinds of sense to me. Thanks.
Thank you .. very good lesson for absolute beginners. Ignore the trolls!
This is the best tutorial for GIMP that I have come across. Her accent was not a problem at all. I am definitely going to subscribe.
Thanks you for this video. It is perfect for "brushing up" on GIMP if you have not used it in a while. Thought you would be pleased to know that your video continues to help people 5 years after posting!!!

Zo grappig dat dit overduidelijk Nederlands is haha :P
Thank you for this tutorial. Probably the best for beginners I have viewed. You did a good job showing how you built the image. The step by step walk through and simple project were very helpful.
Somebody please tell me are all the fonts in gimp able to be used for commercial use, like making a logo??
just getting started with GIMP after giving up on photoshop elements. this intro to layers was very helpful. I was using a demo version of photshop elements and was getting no where for what i was trying to do. THANK YOU.
This is a Dutch accent for English!!
Was struggling so much with GIMP as I did not find it intuitive at all. Your tutorial is excellent and has really given me a good understanding of layers. Would have deleted this program and tried something else if it wasn't for you. Thanks very much!
such a dutch accent ah
ikr
echt zo hahaha
Outstanding introduction to layers, blending, text, selection, growing and shrinking selections, and doing drop shadows. Thank you GIMPTricks!! The light at the end of the tunnel is starting to grow :) David
I don't know what everyone is bitching about, I think your accent is adorable :D
Indeed. Some people need to get out more and travel or just look at other language programs. Her accent is very sweet.
Agree, adorable accent and clear and precise speech.
Thank you for a clear and fairly concise video. Just about the right speed...though I may need to watch it again sometime. You have a better command of english than a lot of English people.
If only more youtube videos were like this.
Thank you
You have a nice voice =)
Great tutorial. Some people are just never satisfied - maybe they should try to make some tutorials to see how difficult it is to keep up the commentary and still make sure you don't use words like "and" and "um"
Rubin Miller WORD.
Rubin Miller I say "um" and "really" A LOT in my tutorials. You're right, it's not easy to do.
good tutorial but every time she says 'and' it sounds like a horn...
Rude

Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial...it amazes me that some people are so petty and small minded with there comments. Dank u wel
AND thanks you
Thankyou! This was very helpful. Even though I've been using gimp for a year I hadn't realized you could put borders or drop shadows into text
This is even harder to use than photoshop...
Nope
just downloaded GIMP, so this is the first tut I have seen and it was VERY helpful! Thank You!
u FAV word is AND
This is really cool. I've used GIMP for years and really haven't been able to do a lot with it because I didn't know how to use it. Good tutorial. Good English, too.
#Nederlands!
Thank you for this. It was very helpful. Great to get a glimpse into what GIMP can do, and you explained the layering technique very well.
that "AND" tho...AND!! AND!!
Excellent tutorial. I've been learning from your tutorials for two years. Keep up the good work.

drinking game: take a sip every time she says AND!
Thank you so very much I have been watching gimp tutorials all week but you made it so much easier to understand. I look forward to watching more. :)
I will never use the word "and" again...just to restore balance the universe...you can thank me later.
It is still relevant after 5 years. Subscribed to your channel.

And!.... And!.... And!....And!....And!....And!....And! Sorry, but after about 3 minutes I had to shut it off... the harsh AND! was too much.
How could you not have noticed?
I didn't even notice the _and_ until I scrolled down the comment section :/
I appreciate that you take the time to help newbies to the program. I think it is like Illustrator and I am quite excited about GIMP that I have downloaded today. I will continue to watch the tutorials
Her "AND" is so annoying, i quit the video...
AND I find her Dutch accent delightful, so different strokes lol! She is organized, has a nice pace AND is a good teacher
Great tutorial for beginners, thanks for making this. I've tried to use GIMP in the past, but I get so frustrated after 5 minutes and give up, but this time I've lasted 10, so that's the best yet. :)
Ugghhh photoshop is waaaaay
Easier and better
But Photoshop costs more and GIMP is free

you know that you can download a crack for it right?
I don't get anything that is bootlegged and/or free that's not from the company.
Loved the intro. It was easy to follow. Thanks for all that effort. I really benefited! cheers.
Very good introduction to Gimp. Thanks for taking the time to produce this. You made it very clear and now I'm going to try it...
Thank you, this was my introduction to GIMP. You've made a great little video and it was really helpful.
So far you have taught me the most.....make more of them.
This really helped clear up the confusion I had about layers. Thank you!
Thank you.. I downloaded gimp a while back but am having trouble working it out.. I needed your video to start me off with the basics.. thank you.
Layers is something I just could not understand where to begin. Thank you for presenting it in a way even a novice like me can understand.
These tutorials of yours are perfect-easy to understand and repeat, with clear instructions , both visuals and voiceovers. I'm learning a LOT from you, Thank you so very much! ^_^
Thank you! I am very much a beginner with this and really need to know the basics. I have no trouble understanding either your accent or your English.
Thank you so much! I learned a lot from your video, and will watch more of them. You have a very good, concise style of teaching: not too much, not too little, not too fast, not too slow.

Thank you! I just downloaded Gimp and really looking forward to learning from you! This was the first video and it was really helpful! Thank you so much!
Great tutorial to the point and clear. Thank you.
seriously you are awesome, love your accent & the way of expaining things, video was too energetic.......with all respect thanks a lot......
Fantastic quick overview!
Thank you for interesting and helpful tutorial. I sure hope everyone criticizing her accent speaks at least two languages fluently.
this was the video where it all starts .. me and gimp .. thank you so much ...
I've used it for some time now, but so many things I didn't know... Good tutorial, thanks for the upload.
Incredibly helpful! Thank you very much! :D It's so hard to find someone who has done a nice BEGINNING tutorial that is slow enough for you to keep up with. So thanks again! :D
Good girl, you have unravelled some of the mysteries of Gimp xxx
Very informative and easy to understand. Thank you for making it so easy. I feel a lot better about the work I have to do in Gimp now.
Thanks. Very clear, and useful to me -sometimes a little fast for me, but I just go back again. And thanks for not mixing it with your favourite music! (as many tutorials do)
Great tutorial. Your explanations are very clear and easy to follow. This was very helpful. Thank you.

Word of warning to others. Make sure the mode in bucket-fill is set to normal. Mine was mistakenly set to something else, and I had a terrible time filling the text border. Once I figured out the mode was wrong, everything worked exactly as it should.
I love your teachings and absolutely love your voice. Thank you for posting this video. :)

Windows Tab > Dockable Dialogs > Layers. A quicker way is to hold CTR then press L.. But remember either one and you're fine =)
Excellent and concise tutorial for beginner.
Thanks for your sharing.
Never mind comments on "And". I like your clear voice.
What an excellent video! thank you. OK the dialog is a little fast but pause/ rewind then go check in with the gimp tool yourself. just trying to use the basics to produce simple headers and book covers. many thanks rik

I agree. I appreciated the video clip. People who are not happy with themselves enjoy so much putting people down.
Thank you. That was easy to watch and no crappy music :)
Thanks for this - really useful for a photoshop user trying to make heads and tails of GIMP.
incredible teacher, I'm highly impressed on your lecture.
Thanks for sharing , I hope all my followers will see this and take a look at this very informative video tutorial.
Best tutorial I have ever seen on this. thank you so much!
Thanks for making this basic video. I am just a beginner and I found some of the other assume you know how to do the basic things while they are explaining.
Great video for beginners. Thank you so much. Best one I've watched so far.
Great job. You were a little quick, but nothing the old rewind couldn't handle. Looking forward to the next one. :)
Thanku so much for making this because I was so confused about layers -.- I messed up a lot of good pictures because I just didn't know what I was doing. So thanks again :]
this didn't help alittle, it help 100%! THANK YOU!
