Where are Gimp docs in black and white?

I'm learning (studying) The Gimp 2.4.4 for MacOS 10.5, and I like it. But I'm somewhat on the elderly side and my vision isn't what it used to be. That is, reading a computer screen for any length of time makes me very "antsy". Worse, when I print pages from The Gimp web pages, the text comes out so faint I have trouble reading it. Do these documents (Gimp tutorials, e.g.) occur somewhere in a "standard" black and white form? If you can help you got to tell me exactly where to go since I am very new to 21st century computing. Much thanks for any help.

Dear Edward,

You might wanna display the docs from

http://docs.gimp.org/en/

pick the topic of interest, e.g.

http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-image-window-qmask-button.html

From there, select the whole page, cmd-c, then open your word processor (Neooffice, Pages ...) and paste using cmd-v. Then, reselect all your text and enlarge the fonts size. From there you can either print or read on-screen on white background and still check the drawings. You can also enlarge fonts size on the browser itself on most browsers.

However in my opinion if reading onscreen is worse than reading on paper there might be an inaccuracy in your glasses prescription. May be it should be tuned and then you can get a little more margin readin both onscreen and on paper.

Hope this helps, Ben

The manual is in a printable format available, that is PDF:
