For those of you who don’t know GIMP is a free, photo-editing program similar to Photoshop. It consists of similar tools and can perform some of the Photoshop tutorials in the Tutorials section here at graphixBrew. To download GIMP visit www.gimp.org and continue to the downloads section.

There will soon be more and more GIMP tutorials that will be posted my me and other members. I personally will be re-writing some Photoshop tutorials for GIMP users to use (With permission from the Tutorial authors). If you need brushes for GIMP, private message me and I will tell you where to get some.

Also, if you are having any trouble understanding or working with GIMP, feel free to private message me or other GIMP users (Who will comment on this article so you know that those are the people to PM for help) and we will try and sort out your problem and make it easier to use.

Dont have Photoshop or a decent paint program? if so PM ME.

As you all know, graphixbrew.com has been dead for a while. But with me (Reigo80) and blackzmage on the job, this site should be back up and running in no time .

Help to revive graphixbrew.com by telling your friends about us and how they can learn some pretty cool stuff about graphics. Also, come here more often and see what's up.

We might be holding some competitions as well, so get your graphics hats on and practice making some mind-blowing artwork!

For the first time ever, Adobe is delivering a widely available Photoshop CS3 beta to enable customers to more easily transition to the latest hardware platforms, particularly Apple's new Intel based systems. The beta is available as a Universal Binary for the Macintosh platform as well for Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista computers, with the final shipping release of Adobe Photoshop CS3 planned for spring 2007.

I don't have it on my computer but I have tried it and it is really great. You can do so much more than with cs2, but its a little confusing at first so you need to put in some time. So you might want to stick with CS2 right now until CS3 is out or until you have some time to play around.

We are proud to launch GraphixBrew.com! This site has been requested for sometime from quite a few graphix masters we have in our other forums. So here it is!

This isnt just a place for graphix masters. Ask around… many of the people who you see around have learned and gotten that good from other people on the forums.

I wish I could have brought all the other graphix forum content over but this wasnt possible, so we have to start over from scratch. But im sure this wont be too much of an issue for you guys

I want your suggestions, comments and help in making this exactly what you guys want
