Learning some of the keyboard shortcuts will save you a lot of time when using frequent tools such as move (m) scale (shift + s ) and text (t).

I have 10 Photoshop certificates and have only a Linux Ubuntu to work on, so you are a Godsend..I learned so much in the first 6 minutes I need a nap..so clear. I had trouble with other films just doing crop and putting 2 pictures together for Before and After...Recommend this teacher, thanks.

@directfromtheair5888 4 года назад

Since this is for "newbies", which I am, they have to know that they either have to create or open a file before you can try the tools, such as text. I d/l GIMP and tired to follow your video. Couldn't understand why I couldn't open the text box, until I realized you were working with a file already open. Once I clicked on NEW under the file menu and started a new "image" then I could use the tools. Very helpful and informative video - thank you for taking the time to produce it !

@Mlsgrfx 3 года назад

Sorry, but you're wrong he clearly showed how to open a file at 10:08. I've been in multimedia for 14 years, my advice; always watch the tutorial completely before watching it a second time to follow along. If you're doing something for the first time it's always a good idea knowing what you're getting into and with this being a video (that's not going anywhere) there's no need to be impatient.

@loreauvillephil 4 года назад

Nice Video. Personally I prefer the single-windowed mode. Just never got use to having those windows floating all over the screen. And in the future could you maybe share a little something on how to wrap text around an image?

Hi, I am fairly new to GIMP ( have never used any form of photo editing programes ) and hopefully with your help I think I will get the confidence to have a go. Can I please ask, I have a photo of my Sister who sadly passed and I want to take the image of her out of the photo she is in and add her image onto a photo I have with my daughter who sadly never met her, but I would love to have a picture of them both together. Thank you and stay safe and well.

I do not yet understand every feature I have tried out in GIMP, but it is safe to say that this amazing program is a legal and digital reincarnation of hallucinogenic drugs! I never thought that one could have this much control over an image or drawing. It's just amazing.

@luisgermansanchez3249 4 года назад

"GIMP is a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image manipulation and image editing, free-form drawing, transcoding between different image file formats, and more specialized tasks" The above text has been taken from WIKIPEDIA™, but I love it because IT IS HONEST. GIMP is a tool to manipulate images, so, when you are o photographer that is a tool to lie, (and you know it) so why pay a monthly fee to lie? Thanks for your tutorial and your patient with us, the beginners.

@fruitover 3 года назад

Hey quick question How did u have more options in the tool box? I only have a few basic options in the tool box.

@fannetastique9699 3 года назад

I was just struggling with the same problem. I assume you've figured it out by now, but if not: got to edit > preferences > interface > toolbox and you can drag the tools out of their groups (by dragging them up) so they show up separately in the toolbox instead of under a group. You can then click on the eye next to each (empty) group to avoid having blank spaces in your toolbox.

While it's good to see that GIMP can handle things like drop shadows and strokes. Of course having it as non destructive effects in Photoshop with a live preview while you adjust values makes me wonder if GIMP has this sort of functionality on the todo list? I would love to use GIMP
