Hello all! I'm going to write some articles on Fedora Magazine about the programmes I use to design. The first one is going to be about Gimp. Is there any point or issues you'd like to suggest for the article? I'd like to make it as complete and polished as possible.
Cheers and thanks, Sylvia

Awesome! So glad to hear you want to contribute.
The first place you should check is the magazine itself: https://fedoramagazine.org/writing-an-article-for-the-fedora-magazine/
In this article there are guidelines about joining the authors group, the editorial team, and pitching your article.
FYI, another place you can contribute this type of content is the Fedora Community Blog: http://communityblog.fedoraproject.org (We can also syndicate your content there as well.)
Hope these help, and good luck with your pitch :) --RemyD.
I'm already writing there. My question is about Gimp. If you think there's any features or tool that you would like to see in the article.
Hope now I explained myself better.
Cheers, Sylvia

I think this would work best if you have an audience or a use-case in mind. Gimp is such a big, full-featured program that just writing about it in general is hard. Maybe "Gimp for photo-retouching" or "Gimp for digital painting"... or maybe even something more specific. (It could even be a series of articles, then.)
OK. I take your advice.
Thanks! Sylvia

Hi,
Matt GIMP is not the best option for digital painting, you can do it with it but its not so well, there was/is a project called GPS(GIMP Paint Studio) for it, which adjusted the GUI for it but today the developer is part of Krita team, after he worked for mypaint. Even photo retouche is a broad area, you have to pick a tiny bit for it and mostly you have to pick something with "WOW factor"
I suggested a few days ago making a tutorial row for the Ambassadors and doing a so called "Global Wallpaper Hunt" for F24, looking to this Sky Replacement would be a fine topic and this way the people can pop up their holiday pictures.

Hello,
I just joined to the mailing list a week ago therefore my knowledge is limited in this particular tread. I just want to comment on the GIMP retouching tutorial. s. Kempter suggested an even more specific part of retouching using GIMP. I guess using frequency separation to deide texture and tones for retouching would be very appropriate and state of the art nowdays. Especially for skin tone and texutre related retuch tasks.
Best regards,
Karoly

Oh, thank you! That was the kind of things I wanted to add to my article.

Yeah, I just meant that as an example. Maybe not hte best example. :)

Wow factor is good, but some "hey, you can do these basic things that people think you have to buy photoshop for", too.
Well, I can write detailed articles in the future. But right now I wanted some "you don't need Photoshop to do this" stuff. Just that.
