Photo editing

[mmcirvin]

I wrote a very basic guide to editing your digital photos with GIMP. This does not tell you how to do anything fancy; it's more on the level of "what can I do to make a crappy picture look sort of OK?"

I hope it is of some use, and that experienced photography buffs do not get too upset that I didn't talk about layers and selection tools and the fancy things you can do with them. There are already tutorials for that sort of thing on the GIMP site; I wanted to fill the gap for beginners who just want to do basic photo improvement.

...Poking around, there are some other changes as well: the Rotate tool doesn't seem to start out in grid mode, so I might have to put some notation in there about that. It looks as if there's some feint in the direction of a live rotated-image preview, but it doesn't actually work.
