-Jud D. | ***** 

"When I started this course I had some basic knowledge of GIMP. However I had many gaps and/or insecurities when applying my knowledge. So I wanted to become a better user. By the way you already noticed English is not my native language. But Michael's English is easy to understand and with the the help of subtitles I understood most everything[...] After having concluded the course I can say: - I am really a better user - I learned a lot[.] This course is worth every penny. Highly recommended!"

-Hans-Peter L. | *****

"An Outstanding course on Gimp that will help any user develop a solid understanding of all the tools and how to apply them."

This course started with the most fundamental GIMP skills but progressed through complex projects to teach all sorts of interesting techniques. It is a well-designed course and I'm certain that I will reference the various lessons for many years to come as I work with GIMP projects.

I'm a GIMP guru and owner of Davies Media Design, one of the largest GIMP educators in the world! I've been using GIMP since before it was cool (back in 2011) and have watched this software grow up to be a real asset to any graphic designer or photographer. My goal is to help beginners master GIMP and other free and open source software so they can create beautiful projects of their own without needing to purchase expensive image manipulation programs like Photoshop.

My videos & tutorials on GIMP have received over 10 million views from all over the world. They can be seen on sites like YouTube, where I have over 100,000 subscribers.

My GIMP Masterclass is a best-selling course on Udemy. I also have a course on Darktable, with more subjects to come!

I have a Marketing Degree from the University of Central Florida and am the owner of Davies Media Design - a company that designs courses, video tutorials, and eBooks for GIMP, Inkscape, and Darktable. In addition to teaching online, I have also taught various workshops in the US.
