came here for one thing, learnt loads of things. Feel like Gimp is easily as powerful as photoshop. Glad i moved.

I've been using GIMP for super basic needs (screenshots need a transparent background or drop shadow, etc.) for years. I just recently started experimenting with it for more in-depth custom designs for marketing and your videos have been so helpful. It's easy to feel a little lost in all of the options. Not only do you really break down a certain concept, but you include little tidbits of other tips too. I've picked up so many helpful tips outside of what I came to each video for.

Just when you thought you knew it all there are a few nuggets of gold that get delivered. Always a pleasure and never a chore to watch your tutorials. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in the usual high quality, professional manner.

your way of explaining in simple and with all clarity to a new person is excellent . Thank you

The best tutorial about gimp I saw so far. Quick and straight to the point with good examples. Thank you.

I'm so glad I came across this channel! I've been a casual user of GIMP for a while, but lately I've wanted to improve my skills with it. All of the other tutorial videos I've seen so far have been recipe based, that is, they simply give you a set of steps to follow to achieve one specific goal, but they don't explain why you'd choose those particular steps or what they're really doing. This video from Michael Davies is so much better. I feel like I'm really understanding what GIMP is doing and not simply following a fixed set of instructions. I"ll be subscribing and checking out all the other tutorials as soon as I can!

I never thought there's so much to learn about layers. Great explaination.

I found and have been watching your tutorials for a couple months now and I finally decided, and just did, join your Master Class.

As a beginner, this video certainly helped me to the core. Keep up the good work mate! Hopefully I'll make contributions to the channel.

Just what I need. Thank you very much for doing this.

I have found this channel recently and this is why you stand out. You are thorough and the pace is realistic, There is useful content in other videos but they break 75 steps into ten minutes and It is so frustrating to have to pause over and over. If the information is new it won't be understood as quickly and I was watching a video a couple of days ago and it drove me insane. Good content and good delivery.

Love the layers mask! Thanks!

I've watched several of Mike's video, and his is the best one I've seen so far. He does a terrific job explaining everything.

Great teaching! Crystal clear!
