GIMP Beginner's Tutorial

Description

Well, this is the first tutorial I have ever attempted. I realized that GIMP is not the easiest thing to use, at least initially. (It took me forever to learn how to color under the lines rather than avoid them all because they'd get erased.) So....I made this geared towards the extreme beginner. You can use the basics I gave you here to customize how you want to find your tools. Enjoy!

******~~~~~~Please note that this is not using the latest version of GIMP!~~~~~~*******

-The first step is now outdated. Along the top bar next to the help menu is a menu called "Windows". When you click on it there will be a short list, and the "Dockable Dialogs" selection is where you will find all the handy windows.

-The rest of the steps should basically be the same, unless something else is brought to my attention.

-It looks like I might have to make an updated version for this tutorial in order to keep up with the latest GIMP program.

I SWEAR I'm seeing something wrong! I have the newest version of GIMP, and I'm confused about step one! I don't see the 'dialog' select anywhere!
