GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Software) is a free and open source software used for graphic design, photo editing and is a popular Photoshop alternative. In this tutorial we will provide an interactive platform to learn GIMP's common tools, basics of photo-manipulation and correction, and an overview of the software's workflow. Our online instructors will guide participants through four exercises designed to teach beginners about colour, scale, transparency, and layering images.

Prior to the class, participants will need to download and install GIMP, a free open-source image editor, onto their personal computers. This workshop will take place online using Crowdcast, a free web-based video conferencing application.

Registration is limited and class information will be provided after registration.
