  47.     One of the most common uses of the Gimp is to fix digital camera
  48.     images that for some reason are less than perfect.  Maybe the
  49.     image is overexposed or underexposed; maybe rotated a bit; maybe
  50.     out of focus: these are all common problems for which Gimp has
  51.     good tools.  The purpose of this chapter is to give you an
  52.     overview of those tools and the situations in which they are
  53.     useful.  You will not find detailed tutorials here: in most cases
  54.     it is easier to learn how to use the tools by experimenting with
  55.     them than by reading about them.  (Also, each tool is described
  56.     more thoroughly in the Help section devoted to it.)  You will also
  57.     not find anything in this chapter about the multitude of "special
  58.     effects" that you can apply to an image using Gimp.  You should be
  59.     familiar with basic Gimp concepts before reading this chapter, but
  60.     you certainly don't need to be an expertΓÇôif you are, you
  61.     probably know most of this anyway.  And don't hesitate to
  62.     experiment: Gimp's powerful "undo" system allows you to recover
  63.     from almost any mistake with a simple Ctrl-Z.

  65.         <p>  
  66.     Most commonly the things that you want to do to clean up an
  67.     imperfect photo are of four types:  improving the composition;
  68.     improving the colors; improving the sharpness; and removing
  69.     artifacts or other undesirable elements of the image.
