Welcome to the first episode in the first series on updating book covers using GIMP. Today’s episode looks at the cover as it was, and then shows one way of isolating an image using GIMP, altering the colour of an image using GIMP, and then adding one image into another. The focus for today consists of the getting the dragon image onto the cover and begin the process for the spaceship.
