Title: Waste of time
Review: I recommend this book if you want to waste your time!I'm wondering why I had to play around myself only to draw a line of text! Maybe because the book emphasizes to glorify the enourmous capapilities of The GIMP. Sadly, the authors forget that the intention of the book is to teach!And to continue the story - on day two - after opening my 'hello-world-text' picture: how can i edit/modify the text?I don't agree to use two pages of a chapter to repeat 'what you have learned in the last lesson'. But possible the contents could then be shrinked to 10 hours which might not amuse the sales agency.To be fair, I'm using a windows version of The GIMP - the book deals with the linux version.To give a background - i worked for years with corel, etc.I think i will download the GIMP help documentation and help myself.Sorry guys, but this is the worst book I've read in the last few years!
