Gimp Tutorials?

What's the best on-line (or book form) Gimp tutorials for learning how to fix photos; specifically with regards to dodge and burn type issues?

I've seen various resources and websites about Gimp and with Gimp Tutorials. In my search for information on Gimp, especially as it applies to digital photography, I came across this book. I haven't purchased it yet, but I would like to.

There are Gimp tutorials scattered all over the place.

Here are a couple of sites that I have used in the past for tutorials:

• http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Gimp/1
• http://gimpology.com/ This one is an index of Gimp tutorials.
• http://www.gimpguru.org/Tutorials/

I have seen many tutorials that were translated from Photoshop to Gimp. You'll probably see some of that in those sites as well.

The Gimp Documentation is a good place to look as well. Search Flickr groups for Gimp. You'll find several.

Though not totally Gimp-centered, this blog focuses on Linux photography. I have found the information to be rather useful. Joel has a links page to software and topics that he's mentioned in his blog.

Try searching for "gimp photography" here. If you don't find what you're looking for, at least you'll have fun doing it!

here's my recommendation

not photography specific but it gives someone a good rundown of how to do things in GIMP.

Thanks for a great list of references. I'll check them all out, and I'll get one of the books (not sure which one yet).

I'll second oldwolf - I have the same book and it is great. I am still a novice, but I've already learned a lot and the book is a great reference tool also.
