<H2>an introduction</H2>
<A name="446382"><!-- 446382 --></A>
<P>GUM is the complete Gimp user manual. GUM is the most comprehensive source of information available, and covers nearly all aspects of Gimp. It's a user manual, so it will not cover how to write plug-ins to Gimp, however, some basic scripting tutorials have been included. All images in this manual have been created or manipulated with Gimp exclusively, no other software has been used..</P>
<A name="446383"><!-- 446383 --></A>
<P>GUM is divided into several parts. If you are an experienced graphics artist, you can read the first parts quickly in order to pick up the main differences between Gimp and the programs that you are used to working with.</P>
<A name="446384"><!-- 446384 --></A>
<P>GUM also covers features which aren't part of the standard Gimp distribution. These features may be found in the unstable distribution or at the plug-in registry. We have covered all available Gimp features up to the 23/3 -98, with the exception of how to use pressure sensitive drawing tablets, Gimp perl scripting extensions, Dumpwindow, xmorph (a Gimpified version of the xmorph program) and HaruspexX (a SQL Gimp extension).</P>
