Hello everyone!
Today marks the end of an era: after a good fifteen years of service, we have decided to suspend the domain www.mora-foto.it. This decision is not a goodbye, but a step towards a bigger future! Our energies are entirely dedicated to the new, ambitious project: www.ciaocortina.com, the unofficial tourist guide for discovering Cortina d'Ampezzo!
On the new site, you will find all the photography content you loved on the old one. As for the articles that do not fit the new project, we have moved them here on Blogger, where you can consult them as long as the service is available. To make navigation easier, here are all the pages you can find on the blog:

In this page you can find dozens of tutorials for photo editing with Gimp. Every tutorial on mora-foto is original and has been written by us. All our tutorials should be easily understandable and are explained step by step, to allow also the beginners to undestand how Gimp works with practical examples instead of too much theory. We will concentrate on post production and photo editing. Our Gimp tutorials are intended for all the photographers that want to learn how to use Gimp for the post production of their photos without having to buy expensive licenses.Gimp is absolutely the best solution for amateur photographers that are looking for the best free software, that allows you to reach almost professional results. We really believe that Gimp can substitute Photoshop on almost everything, for non professional photographers. It lacks some hyper advanced tools, but it's free. We hope that our Gimp tutorials will help you to understand the functionality and potential of Gimp. There are many other programs that works fine, but no one of them is as much flexible and advanced as Gimp. Maybe it could be a little bit hard to begin with, but when you'll learn how to use it, you'll be completely satisfied. This is why we created this website: to let you easily understand the basics of Gimp and become a better photographer everyday. With our Gimp tutorials you will learn how to use all the tools that Gimp offers for the post production of your photographs.
We firmly believe that using Gimp allows anyone to achieve more than satisfactory results in photo editing for both domestic and professional use. If you are not a professional photographer, or you don't want to pay for licenses for any reason, or worse you are still using and downloading pirated software (with all the risks that follow), then consider Gimp as a solution of all your problems. If you need to edit some photos, Gimp is surely the most advanced free solution available today. Gimp allows you to crop photographs, add texts, increase contrast and saturation, correct the colors, as make advanced photo editing, without the need to pay nothing.
We suggest you to roll up your sleeves and start learning how to use Gimp, that is an amazing software, with the help of our Gimp tutorials. We have decided to divide this page into different categories, to allow a better consultation of the many Gimp tutorials present, so it will be easier for you to search for the tutorial you need to deepen.
Compared to Photoshop, Gimp could be considered less intuitive, it does not have the perfect management of batches, it has not hyper advanced artificial intelligence tools, it has "only" 8 bit of color depth, it needs some external plugins to open "raw" files, or to create a panorama using different photos, but despite all, Gimp will allow you to get amazing results without having to spend money and, above all, without having to download non-original software that, especially for professional use, could make you have a bad fine. GIMP is distributed under terms of General Public License v3 and later. In a nutshell, this means: You are free to use GIMP, for any purpose.
If you never used Gimp before, and you are new to photo editing software, we suggest you to do try all our tutorials in the same order in which they have been published. Starting from the basic tutorials on the top, about Gimp interface and tools, going on to light and color correction, the masks, the layers and what they are used for. Once you understand how to use Gimp's masks and layers to edit only a single portion of the image, you could put the knowledge acquired on Gimp basics, going on the more complex tutorial, such as the Dragan effect or the exposure blending.
When you start to understand what you are doing, you can try to modify your photos with all the effects, so you can better understand the various tools of Gimp and maybe find out your favourite style. If you have no experience it is just a game, where you try to become more friendly with Gimp interface. When you have reached a discreet familiarity with Gimp tools and all the concepts of our tutorials, you will be able to use Gimp for a perfect post production or photo editing.
Knowing how to fix and edit a photograph with Gimp is much more useful than you think. You will be able to create impressive images for your social networks, but it will also increase your productivity at work or in any voluntary activities, for example you could use Gimp to create a poster for an event, or a menu of a restaurant. It's always useful to have a friend who can draw a meme or make a cover photo for an event. Then, when you will be good, nobody stops you from trying to earn something with your new knowledge.
We believe that Gimp is an excellent photo editing program, not perfect, but which can replace Photoshop in almost any amateur use. We also hope that all our Gimp's tutorials can help you to better understand the functioning and potential of Gimp which is, without a doubt, the best free photo editing program available on the market.
