Re: Re: <can podcasts be d/loaded to PC>Help getting started

Can the podcasts be downloaded to one's PC to be viewed later?

If you understand all this and you just want to get a grip on Gimp,
 there are quite a few, but I've found http://www.meethteg imp.org in
 particular to be very helpful, especially the first several sessions
 where he concentrates on photo images.  It's a video podcast and your
 host is a teacher who seems to very much understand how to present
 things in a progressive way so you're not left floundering.  Recommended.

 layers, masks, what the tools do, how colours are represented, and so
 on; and then get an understanding of how Gimp implements those things.
  There are a plethora of basic how-tos in image manipulation and the
 Photoshop ones would be ok for this.

 IMHO "Nick" was asking for a step-by-step guide for Gimp,
 starting from scratch, which means he indeed has not been playing
 around with Photoshop or so.. 
 He has a point: there is not a good introduction (as far as I can see)
 in Gimp, starting from scrath, so one can get that understanding of
 basic image manipilation a.s.o. 
 It's too easy too refer to Photoshop. It's like saying that one should
 take Internet Explorer in order to be able to use Firefox.......
 It's a big problem that the learning curve for Gimp is rather high,
 while at the same time there indeed no, or not enough, Gimp-help
 for starters is available.
