Tips for using The GIMP 

Read this page to get the most from using GIMP. I hope that these will make you're life with The GIMP easier. This article is the result from a couple of years experience with using the Windows-version of The GIMP regularly. The GIMP used to focus on functionality (which is good) instead of being userfriendly. However, with GIMP 2.x this has changed. Now the software is much easier to use and understand.

For your convenience I created a list with pointers to the items in this article:

  1. How do I save an image ?
  2. Detaching a menu with GIMP
  3. Creating your own dialogs
  4. Assigning your own keyboard shortcuts
  5. The GIMP and support for the GIF fileformat
  6. Convert images to indexed color palette (use less colors)
  7. Lots of GIMP-functions do not seem to be available !!!
  8. How do I know on what type of image a plugin works ?
  9. How do I make parts of the image transparent ?
  10. How do I remove the Alpha-channel (transparency-information) ?
  11. How do I change the size of my image ?
  12. Extend The GIMP's functionality with scripts and Photoshop-plugins (updated)
  13. GIMP Quick Start (gimp-win-remote)
  14. Links to other interesting GIMP websites (updated)
