The screenshots are actually a little out of date, because I actually wrote the text and made the screenshots back in February, spurred by my father-in-law's need for advice on photo editing. I ran out of energy when it was time to convert the text to HTML, and it sat around on my hard drive until now; I was spurred to press on because samantha2074 just got an impressive new Sony digicam and similarly wanted editing advice. The free Markdown (http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) plug-in for BBEdit (combined with the old standby HTML Tidy (http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/), and my venerable site templates) helped me do the rough cut, since its input format is pretty much what I use to mark up plain-text files.

It still needs a few typo corrections and markup refinements, and someday I'll probably redo the figures to reflect the considerably simplified Scale Image and Save As JPEG dialogs in recent GIMP builds, but I figured it was good enough to put up now.
