What Our Current Students Say
“Amazing course, Michael is a really effective teacher and I feel I learned a lot from this track. Definitely worth it.”
Alberto V.
[Mike’s] pacing is just right and he has thoroughly gone through the layout of GIMP so far which is the most intimidating thing for me. I’ve used GIMP for quite some time now but I’ve never really had in-depth knowledge of it. That is now changing!
Audra R.
“Very thorough explanations of numerous GIMP features. As a long-time Photoshop user, I wanted to learn more about how to use GIMP effectively, and this course has been very good.”
