GIMP 2.6 for Photographers is a new book from Klaus Goelker that guides beginning GIMP users through the open-source image editing software. GIMP 2.6 is free, open-source software compatible with Windows, OS X and Linux.
GIMP is considered a rather powerful alternative to Photoshop; however, educational info on GIMP has sometimes been difficult to find. This book “has evolved from classroom materials that the author developed and taught in courses and workshops on image editing with the GIMP.” Conveniently, the book includes a software DVD that contains a full version of GIMP and other open-source photo programs for those with slower Internet connections.
GIMP 2.6 for Photographers carries a retail price of $39.95; however, it is currently available for $26.37 on Amazon.com.

One of the things about CES is that you always see a brand that you’ve never seen before. At this year’s CES, I came across Golla Bags, which makes dozens of different camera, laptop, iPad and general electronic accessory bags.
Golla Bags also come in a wide variety of bright colors and feature several different designs. By orders of my wife, I’m always on the lookout for pink camera bags. Golla Bags has plenty of those, including the three above. The two on the left are more for poing and shoot cameras, while the larger bag on the right could accomodate a mirrorless camera, superzoom camera or small DSLR.
You can see the complete selection of Golla Bags gear on Golla.com. Additionally, you can purchase some of the Golla Bags on Amazon.com and Adorama – although neither retailer currently appears to carry the entire line.
