Contest Rules
If you have been wanting to learn the basics of the GIMP layers program (comparable to Photoshop)? This contest is designed to introduce you to online help and give support.
If you have a question and can't find an answer at the websites below or don't understand the online explanation go to the Discussion Tab above, I will try to check it twice daily and answer your questions. I don't know everything about GIMP but I can help you get started and working on projects.
Once you are familiar with the interface and concepts of GIMP, Photoshop or other sophisticated editors will be easier to transition to should you desire to use a different editor.
The project will be a HOLIDAY THEME (photo, painting or digital) with a texture applied from layers and should be obvious there is a texture layer with the HOLIDAY THEME, an example would be a front door with a Christmas wreath, Christmas table decorations, New Years Celebration or Hanuka, etc.
