How close are the Photoshop lessons with any version of GIMP? Or is GIMP something that could be lesson in the future? GIMP is in my price range and I am a complete newbie with either.

I've worked with GIMP a little in the past. I like it. The problem with making tutorials for freeware/shareware apps is that MOST people who use them DON'T need tutorials. They're the kind of people who like to figure things out on their own. So, if there's enough demand for GIMP, I'd gladly make some tutorials for it. I'll add GIMP to the WAITING LIST. If I get enough votes for it, I'll start cranking out tutorials.
