In this section there are some tutorial videos. They should be watched in high definition (at least 480p, but 720p and full screen are recommended). There's no audio, but there are captions explaining what's going on, so make sure to have them activated. In some cases the captions are quite fast-paced, so be prepared to use the pause button a lot. All the videos were made using version 0.7.0 of the plugin and GIMP 2.6.8 running under Ubuntu Linux 10.4. They are not accelerated nor edited in any other way.
