Master GIMP.
Skip the noise.
20 focused one-hour sessions built around the 20% of GIMP skills that produce 80% of real results. No fluff, no wasted time — just deliberate, sequential technique.
Why 80/20?
GIMP has hundreds of tools and filters. Most professionals rely on fewer than 30 of them. This course identifies exactly which ones, and teaches them in the order that compounds your skill fastest.
Targeted Skills
Layers, selections, masks, Curves, Clone, and compositing. Six core areas underpin nearly every professional image editing task.
Sequential Build
Each session's concepts are prerequisites for the next. You never learn a tool in isolation — you learn it in the context of a real workflow.
Active Practice
Every session includes guided exercises and a stretch challenge. Watching is passive; doing is how technique becomes instinct.
Built-in Review
A structured 15-minute review closes every session. Spaced repetition embedded directly into the course — no extra effort required.
One hour. Four phases.
Every session follows an identical structure so you always know where you are and what comes next.
Concept Brief
Why this skill matters, where it sits in the wider workflow, and what you'll be able to do by the end of the session.
Core Technique
Step-by-step instructions in GIMP 3.2, with exact menu paths, keyboard shortcuts, and what to expect at each stage.
Guided Practice
A defined exercise using a provided image or your own — you follow the technique and produce a specific result.
Stretch Challenge
An open-ended problem that applies the session's skill in a new context — no step-by-step guidance. Work it out.
Session Review
Key concept recap, common mistakes to watch for, a timed quiz, and a preview of the next session. Use the built-in 15-minute timer.
Start with the workspace. Build from there.
Session 1 takes you through GIMP 3.2 orientation — a misconfigured workspace costs you time on every future session. Fix it first.
