    There are many people doing quality Photoshop videos. You are unique since there are only 2 or 3 GIMP masters sharing their knowledge with quality material. Thanks.

    Do you have a tutorial for Color matching between images? For example, I have multiple profile pictures of staff members taken with the same backdrop, but due to issues with lighting or camera exposure, the colour tones of the images all look slightly different. Given the backdrop is supposed to be the same colour in all photos, is there a quick way in Gimp to use the backgrounds as a reference to match the “colour profile” of one image to another one?

    That's brilliant. I have used GIMP for years and do a lot of political and other memes and often have to wrestle with various colour filters to match photos. Sometimes it is a pain. The method here is a great help. Even learning to check the sample average box was an immediate knowledge boost. However there is a point where you select the image with Alt+ Click That doesn't seem to work for me.

    In general, I like your videos, most are instructive. However, I do have some criticism. My first complaint is that you talk too fast (way, way too fast). I know the latest video technique is the fast-cut-scene to scene. This may work well in a fast-moving drama, but in an instruction video, this makes what you’re trying to get across extremely hard to follow. Another nit-pick is your use of the dark-theme on Gimp. This makes it very difficult to follow your cursor and see exactly what you are clicking on. Another thing, it would also be helpful if you had a text stream, something like closed-captioning, running across the bottom of the screen to document your dialogue. Or furnish a link to a transcript of the dialogue used in the video. Again, I have learned a lot from your video tutorials and I hope you find these suggestions helpful.
