I tried one that was very well received and presented, but was for an earlier version of GiMP and I was lost. I will start with a general GIMP tutorial as soon as I clear some of my back-log. Past experience tells me I need about 2 months of 1hr x5 practice a week. Until then, I will continue practicing with hand-drawn maps and hopefully cement the foundations. Thanks for the welcome.
