Gimp Tutorial 1

Today you are going to learn how to learn how to use The Gimp, the open source image manipulor similar to Photoshop.

Log into your account in Linux Mint.

For the first Tutorial, please retrieve a picture of yourself and save it unto your Desktop inside of Linux Mint.

Now open up the Gimp located in the Mint Menu's Favorites.

Go to this URL and begin the Basic Gimp Tutorial:

http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Lite_Quickies/

Use your own images, not the images from the website. If you have any questions, please ask your teacher.

SFTP

When you are finished editing your image, you will use SFTP to put the image on the PC-BSD Apache server as follows:

$ cd /home/ais-students/Desktop
$ ls
You should see your image, if not, change directory to the location of your image.

Now you will SFTP the image to the server
$ sftp Your Username@IP ADDRESS, ie. sftp kevmille@192.168.78.192
$ cd /usr/local/www/data/Your Username/images
$ put image.jpg (i.e. put kevin.jpg)
$ ls
Should see your image listed
$ bye

Returns you back to your computer.

Now check the server to see if the image can be viewed:

http://IP ADDRESS/Your Username/images/image.jpg

If it is there, congratulations. If not, ask your teacher for help.

This is the end of Gimp Tutorial 1.
