Top 10 Things Beginners Want to Know How to Do | GIMP Mega Tutorial 

I've found that I have to watch these videos several times, and pause/scroll back, to catch instruction I've missed, then practice. Thank you, good video.

Thank you so much for this! I can _finally_ get to grips with GIMP after years of struggling with over-complicated tutorials and a faulty memory...

Thanks a lot for this video. I've been using GIMP for quite some time now, but I learnt a lot of new things/techniques from this video.

Things I've been doing for years may so-o-o- much easier. Thank you.

Fabulous! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I am a beginner and looking forward to playing around with Gimp.

There are only just a few videos explaining that extensive stuff as exactly as you do. So I have to thank you very much for this great video. It was very useful for me. Somebody said that it's a little bit too quick, but that is only in the first days of trying. Soon beginners will need that kind of videos to reach the first targets. Sorry for my bad english...I'm from germany. 😉

thank you very much for this useful tutorial. you touched many of the issues that i want to learn in gimp

Hi Chris, Gimp is Cool Painting Program. My extra Tip for Beginners is if you want to Paint Easier use the Gimp Toolbox Closer to your work area so that you do not need everytime to move to the left corner. or use Keyboard Shortcuts on Keyboard this Will also Help.

THANK YOU. I have been using photoshop for quite a long time now, I will continue to use it, but I was looking forward to editing on linux. And seeing that gimp is the only alternative out there, this helped a ton. Cheers.

Thank you for you turtorials. I did run into a little issue in my dodge/burn try out. It seems to me that my dodge isn't as suddle in applying a thin layer as yours is and on top of time I believe it to overlaps on areas already applied on even though I never released my hold on the mouse. Any idea how this is happening?

For we 'beginners' it would be VERY helpful if you would slow down, repeat, and explain more about each tool you are selecting. Do you have a slowed down version?

Great! Helped me a lot. Thank you 🙏

I found this video fascinating and helpful. Thanks!

Thank you Chris! appreciate.

This was very helpful. Thanks so much.

Thank you this is soooo helpful

Hello Chris, Thank you for your informative video. I am a Newbie with 2.10 but learn fast. I have decided to follow you on this issue and would like to ask if you could record your content slower thereby making it easier for us to digest. This is a very powerful and somewhat complex program to learn. Please do not make the same mistake that many tutorial authors make and try to present things at light speed. I have seen a similar video, the exact same content is done in 10 min and it was a joke. Yours is much better, yet to fast to really follow. When you lay a sponge on the surface of the water you will notice that it doesn´t sink immediately. If you hold it down and let it go it pops back to the surface and still has not absorbed much, whereas if you take the time to wait for it it will eventually soak up the material thereby making for a much better experience. Thanks...

Amazing tutorial, thank you!

Well done! Extremely helpful!

hi, is it possible to convert a selection to a layer mask ? thanks

How do I resize the image I cutout...It thinks im trying to click the base layer..

Super helpful. Thanks much!

Great Video Man !

I recommend against using the scissors select tool. The result is terrible. It's much faster, easier and cleaner to use the bezier selection tool (hotkey b). This tool will give you nice smooth curves to work with so you do not spend ages correcting the terrible chunky results from the scissors select tool.

Incredibly helpful thank you

very informative and helpful. thank you

Thanks for your effort!

Wow nice tutorial - very cool !

This's hardcore. Thanks!

minor thing: the ASCII table consists of 127 characters, which are basically the English alphabet and the most used special characters such as parentheses and arithmetic symbols. the arrows, smilies, fancy symbols, any alphabet etc. are only present in Unicode.

when ever I cut something or use the fuzzy select tool I cant get rid of the outline

but when i move the character ive clipped out it just moves the background. so the thing ive clippe dout dissapears

Thank you for the video!

Thank you for this tutorial.

How can I change the colors on the interface like yours for more contrast. This 2 tone grey is pretty but hard for my old lady eyes to see easily. Mahalo in advance.

How do you make it look like a looneytoons ending? You know with the darkness surrounding one circle with the scene behind it?

Great video!!

How do you disable the background? Talking a little fast in areas.

So I cut the scissors shape out, then I paste it into a new layer. I can't erase anything because the active layers alpha channel is locked. ????? What is that, and how do I erase stuff?

how can i remove the scissors cut out line when im done??

FIrst 30 seconds a background layer appears. Also when new layers are started there is no explanation of what choices to make. These missing steps in the first 2 minutes make it difficult to follow along and try and do it my self. This is for beginners. I will listen on, but lost after 2 minutes of 24.

Does GIMP have a distort tool to it?

Very well made!

Wow, you answered several of my burning questions! I actually feel more competent for just having watched. Do you have any tips for layers that don't want to behave? It's probably just be ineptness, but my layers never seem to do what I tell them to.

You just saved me a lot o trouble. Thanks

yes fantastic video thanks for that.

Hard time following the mouse, text to small. saying "im going to click this" doesn't help if we can't see what you're clicking.

How do you resize clipart!

Outstanding!

Thanks Chris

what version of gimp is this?

Excellent video. I would recommend going slower - especially near the end - and stating which icons you are using and where to find them. Otherwise, again, excellent. Thanks.

thank you. this is a very nice video

Thanks for the useful vid

Thanks!

Great Vid thanQ :)

Super useful

I cant remove text from the picture without distroying the picture. I cant find the tool for this action.

heyy how do i close a path on gimp 2.10?? the cntrl-click method isn't working -_-

How can I make multiple text sizes? When I highlight one word it changes every single word so frustrating.

Thx!

thank you :)

Wow great video

Cutting seems to have alot of adjustments to apply, is there any other select tool that is a little smoother ?????

What version is this mine looks different!!

THANKS FROM MALAYSIA

very nice video

how do you add a photo

I was trying to do the same following these instructions, but are not specific not clear either. Of course this is my personal opinion as a beginner.

HOW DO YOU HIT DELETE? PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT KEYS YOU ARE PRESSING!!

how can i remove the yellow border line on the picture

Could you please direct me on how to download GIMP on my Lenova chromebook?

Thanks

whenever i'm done using the scissor and close the the dots, I click inside the shape and I just lose all my dots -.-

How do you 'unselect' a scissors selection when it shows lines crossing over to other 'dots'?

I'm a former PSP 9 user, and I am completely lost without my beveling tool, as well as some plugins I had. Can you direct me to a plugin download that's actually still there or more free tutorials, please? I needed a free Photoshop/PSP equivalent for a reason. Thanks for any help! (Photo editing is my best emotional therapy when I can make pretty things.)

thankyou

#notifications and first like

Thank you for your hard work in creating this. Sadly, you go way too fast at times, you do not always fully explain things out, you don't always say what you are clicking as you are working and your videos are more geared towards someone with more intermediate knowledge than what a beginner would normally start out with.

Chris, THE FIST THING you need to tell the viewer is... 1.) WHAT VERSION YOU ARE USING! and that goes for PLUGIN VERSIONS as well! 2.) HOW TO SETUP GIMP'S CANVAS AND TOOLS.

super

though there is some negative comments, i find it beautiful

FIVE YEARS AGO? Dude, you deserve to catch up and let the traffic this gave you some return. But it will require you to update!! Dang, I saw potential, but time takes it's toll on tech content. I hope you'll update.

you're awesome

is there a green screen tool? Just wonderin

Still don’t know how to zoom in and out without , when I pressed ctrl X it did nothing so I stopped watching till then

Wrong - the FIRST thing I want to know is how to import the photo!

I appreciate all the wonderful videos, on GIMP, however they are too fast . Slow down and remember we are beginners.

what gimp is that

wow, its working for magic eden, opensea and minting sites

Good video except the narrative is far to fast and does not fully explain where you are finding some items you talk about. Needed to drop out background and am constantly having to pause and move back when if you slow down your cadence it would greatly help.

I have been using GIMP since the late 90's. I have to say I think the 2.10 release is as about as big a deal milestone wise as 2.4 was. I still want CMYK though : \

why does my gimp not have colours like yours

HOW DO U REMOVE THE FLOATING SELECTION?

As the video played you went faster and faster until I was lost

Yeah i tried before byt didnt work

yeah

Wow

i miss photoshop! so easy to pick a color from the photo and then add areas to that selection with a few other clicks. Gimp is not "that" great substitute. From from it!!!

Why did you leave the top of his hair behind!
