Hi new friends!

I am a long-time Photoshop user who has just retired and would like to continue my creativity despite my lack of access to Adobe products. I hope to use GIMP for photo manipulation and designing model aircraft skins. I work on a Mac and may need some help making the transition. I'm looking forward to learning with the GIMP community!

Many here could teach you the way around gimp. Some have Youtube channels, some have blogs, Others full of experience and knowledge. You should find the transition easy enough if you do not expect gimp to be another photoshop. Does many of the things and more - Hope to see some of your work soon.
