GIMP tutorials list

Here you will find all written tutorials those have been published on the forum. Take note that due to the fact that within the 2 last years, there were two major updates for GIMP, some tutorials have been written for a GIMP version that might be older than your current version. That's why I indicate the used GIMP version for each tutorial.
