EXCELLENT VIDEO - I had such a bad experience with Adobe this summer I vowed to NEVER use them again nor their inefficient Call Centers in India. Their products can no longer be used unless you are online and connected to the cloud. I bought thousands of dollars of software from them in 2009 to be told I have to buy it all again now. I"M DONE with them and think Gimp will serve my needs even better. We got to refuse to do business with the companies like Adobe Software that has no problem screwing over their clientele if it means more money. By the way, when I came to your tutorial on RUclips there was an Adobe Software video being advertised. I hate the way companies monopolize on screwing over customers so they can get optimal dollars. But back to GIMP - loved this - had the tool over a month and what you just did will get me far. Got you bookmarked and will be back for more. Thanks so much for you time and knowledge.
as a new person to this whole image editing thing, i would like to say that u are the best, i watched 3 tutorial videos of Gimp before i saw your video and yours was the only one that made me able to learn about this application, good job man
It is *very* frustrating but once you learn how to do a particular job, it works just as well as the expensive alternatives... so videos like this are a God-Send! :-)
In my opinion, GIMP can not compete with let's say Photoshop in pro environment otherwise is a decent choice. I put out a short screencast tutorial on cutting the image out of a background in GIMP using the F key (Free Select Tool Only). Suitable for complete beginners if anyone is interested.
I took a graphic design/image editing class as an elective in High School, and they taught us on both Gimp and Photoshop. I personally love Gimp because everything is so customizable. I love open source programs :)
I just want to thank you so much for this! I wish I had found this earlier on. I was taking a Masters degree course and one of our sections HEAVILY utilized GIMP but there was no instruction on how to use it. This video is such a great tutorial! Well explained and demonstrated! Awesome!
Fantastic tutorial! Loved how you moved at a fast pace so could listen to the whole concept, and click back for a repeat lesson on hard stuff, but move on for the easy.
Good, comprehensive overview. I slowed down your voice in parts, so I could get it. Will watch several more times. I've been wanting to learn this program, just downloaded. I subscribed. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Is it possible for you to do a tutorial specifically about the use of selection tools and moving or editing that selected area ? I mean, a tutorial that could mainly clarify the differences in which Photoshop and GIMP handle selected areas .. I Have not seen a particular tutorial that could help clarify the confusion many Photoshop users migrating to GIMP are having and I would like to share the videos in our facebook community (Open Source Creative Tools) Many thanks for your great work on all these tutorials.
This tutorial was honestly like how to use MS paint or text on video editing app....which is self-explanatory. learned nothing different about gimp itself. GG -_-
thx i have always been wandering how to use gimp and now i know how to use its going to be very helpfull this video is a very good video i think its amazing
Very well done overview of various common GIMP tools and functions. The layout and tools are very similar to Photoshop. Had I seen this video several decades ago, I would have stayed with GIMP and not bother buying Photoshop. GIMP was the first photo editor I came across. Unfortunately, I was not aware of how to used the program because I never found any tutorial for GIMP.
Thank you allot... I was using 3D paint for my first ever project which was more of a hastle than id like to remember... but i got it done... thats when i thought i need a way better app to o stuff like that on. so i want ahead and downloaded gimp, as soon as it started download ing, i came here, cos i dont want to figure it out be myself, that would have taken too long... so thank you for the run down, it makes my life allot easier. liked subscrbed and turned omn the notification icon cos i thought why the hell now, you scratched my back, so ill scrathc yours haha.. thanks again.. have a wonderfull day.
clicked on. Very detailed and to the point, thank you so much for tNice tutorials! I subscribed and I look forward to watcNice tutorialng and learning more about
Thank you for the video I will share it with my dad. I am going to use GIMP to aid in scrap-booking. THe drop in picture feature looks better than open as layers.
Hi Chris, thank you for making these videos, i just downloaded the newest GIMP program and i love it . Iam an older guy 53 to be exact and i used to use Micrografx Picture publisher a long time ago and this GIMP is so much better, do you remember that program ? Well keep up the great work and thanks again for sharing your knowledge to everyone ! : )
Thank you for sharing your skills. I like the pacing of your explanation and detailed demo. It was very useful to know why things have to be done a certain way. I've watched a few tutorials for beginners and yours is the best. God bless you and keep you safe and healthy.
Hi Chris, if I want to create several elements and then add them to an 8.5 x 11 canvas and then print, what size would I make my elements. Let's say a tag with various layers.
Excellent presentation of GIMPS functions, and the subsequent effects of those applications ❗ Concise, and linear narrative that's simple to understand...THIS IS GIMP~ GOLD🏆❗🏁🏁🏁
Thanks for the tutorial. I appreciate that you get to the point quickly and provide a lot of information in a short time. Many tutorials are too slow for me and yours was just right.
GIMP is a great product, create by talented programmers, and appreciated by millions. And it's completely free. To the photoshoppers who can't use GIMP, why are you trying to use GIMP? Stick to photoshop, if that's what you know. To those that can't make a square on GIMP, try using your search engine, or RTFM. Anything new will have the basic requirement of educating yourself on its functionality.
Hi Chris I have created a jigsaw in GIMP but would like to know how do I export. I need to include this as an activity in a learning module. Thank you Kerry
Kyle Grygo agree! But maybe it’s because I am an old school photoshop user so I already am familiar with layers and the tools are similar. I am still trying to download GIMP right now but the install is slow because I have something else going on in the background.
Colorized Tool Shortcuts in upper Left and Right corners of the screen. I know it may havee been asked before, but how id you colorize the Tool shortcuts on your screen?
to import you can just go on files and click open and it will open your documents and images on the computer then you select what photo you want. like putting an image onto word doc. You dont have to drag the image if u dont want to
Can I use gimp for to work on a template???? For example I have template of mobile phone’s home screen and I need to change everything from background to icons to font.
Oh man, the comments have me questioning what I got myself into. Anyway, I imported an image, and I don't have layers. I only have one layer, and it's the image I imported. And when I make that layer invisible, I see gray and white checkered, instead of white.
so much to learn for someone who is only interested in making anime skins for planes in war thunder, I dont have the patience to sit through hours and hours of videos when I only need a few specific tool tutorials but I dont know which tools those are or what they are called to search for them specifically.
One hint: It might be better to show all image altering tools on an empty layer, which is above the real picture. This is good practice and would help beginners to get used to intelligent usage of layers.
The only thing I can say is.....thank you, I'm not good with these tools but this will be enough for the things I wanna show up so humm...thank you for actually bothering in doing this, it really really helped me out doing yt thumbnails XD.
Thank you Chris. That was an excellent video - clearly explained relevant content, and a lot of it. One of the best tutorials of any type that I have seen on RUclips.
Can you do a video on how to change b&w photos to colour. There are a few on here but older versions. The colourify has gone from the new version so i can't follow because forums are saying colourify is different to colourize. so i am totally lost :-)
Hi Chris. Thanks so much for the amazing tutorial. I am just getting into photography and I was starting to look at ways to make cool image manipulation techniques. Gimp is definitely goingvto be my tool box . Looking forward to watching the other tutorials
I'm using the exact church picture and it's only taking up 1/9 of the same sized canvas. Did you alter the original pixabay file before using it on this video? If so, what is the best way to do this?
so the select tool has changed to just free hand and selection based on colour, how do i use the method shown in this video where you place dots and it works out the points in between?
For years I have been hearing people complain about Gimp not being intuitive. It is an open source volunteer programmed software and that is why it really ought to be good. The way to solve this problem is to go to the GitHub repository and fork the project. I suggest a name like Intuitive Gimp. Just Fork it! I am not a programmer but actually I could do this because GitHub is not necessary only about programming it may be possible to enlist non-programmers into a discussion of heuristic design like the discussion that tool place in Xerox when their team invented the mouse. The project starts by imagining how one thinks computers should help you draw. The next step is rearranging how modules are called by the user. So the new fork would really only be creating a new menu system because the program is there. Hopefully at least. One utility I wish they had was a function finder where if I type in a function the menus open up and the boxes fatten up to show where those things are. As far as I know that is new a no one has programmed that. When you imagine what a drawing program should be you wish you could reach into the screen with your hands and pick things up and move them. The whole process needs to be examined as to the perspective of a caveman or a child trying to make a picture but for the most part the program is there and it works. It just needs to be rearranged and organized where grug brainlets like me can pick it up smoothly.
Hi Chris, watching but don't find the answer to my question. How can I put 2 standing pictures next to each other that it looks like a lying picture? if i want to change size, after mirrorring, he cuts out 75% of my original pic. Big thank you. It's day 1 i use Gimp and I want to learn only few things I need for my fashion photos now.
Can you make a video on how to take say a stationary logo and make it into a spinning in and out transition like the old school batman tv show transitions from the 60s

I'm watching this in 2021 - it's still so useful. Good Stuff. Thanks Chris.

This has a lot of direction packed into 30 minutes. As a former Photoshop user, I found this video very helpful!
After a long hiatus I came back to Gimp and forgot a few things here and there. This was a great refresher, thank you.
You are doing a wonderful job by giving Knowledge many thanks
This is a wonderful tutorial! I will now move on to full course. Thank you. 😊
It is *very* frustrating but once you learn how to do a particular job, it works just as well as the expensive alternatives... so videos like this are a God-Send! :-)
In my opinion, GIMP can not compete with let's say Photoshop in pro environment otherwise is a decent choice. I put out a short screencast tutorial on cutting the image out of a background in GIMP using the F key (Free Select Tool Only). Suitable for complete beginners if anyone is interested.
Very well explained for beginners. I have Gimp for years without all the features.
I took a graphic design/image editing class as an elective in High School, and they taught us on both Gimp and Photoshop. I personally love Gimp because everything is so customizable. I love open source programs :)
Chris, you are a fantastic teacher. Thank you for this tutorial
I just feel that GIMP is overly complicated for no reason. Wanna drag and drop a picture to place it somewhere else ? Yeaaaah....
then you realize u messed up EVERYTHING 😂😂🤣🤣😆😆
legit, after effects was easier to learn
@@lambu_here6009 Yeah 😅

Love it! before I was just making memes, and had no idea of the variety of options that GIMP gives the user. Looking forward to using a lot more now!

Well, life is hard.
And then you die.
Try learning blender bicc
I make very simple to follow videos that demonstrate the step by step process in how to use certain features in Gimp.
@@gaminglemonpro412oh hell yeah I completely agree!
It's no harder than early photoshop was. In fact in some ways it's better. And most of the tools and ways of doing things translate well.
Excellent presentation of GIMPS functions, and the subsequent effects of those applications ❗
Concise, and linear narrative that's simple to understand...THIS IS GIMP~ GOLD🏆❗🏁🏁🏁

Depending on how you have it setup it should be at the bottom of where you can see your layers next to a folder with a plus sign on it
VERY high learning curve. For example: how do you add text and change or manipulate it.
So much to learn for someone new to layered art programs. This is a great start. Thank you so much!
so much to learn for someone who is only interested in making anime skins for planes in war thunder, I dont have the patience to sit through hours and hours of videos when I only need a few specific tool tutorials but I dont know which tools those are or what they are called to search for them specifically.
Great guide Chris
nice and easily understandable tutorial
The church picture is of Twizel, New Zealand
You are a legend bro! Thank you!
Can I rotate the shapes inside the layer? or do I have to rotate the layer in order to rotate the shape?
probably the second option
Can you link the setuper channel, soft and track, so you don't have to color and rena 3 tis ? Btw aweso video!
One hint: It might be better to show all image altering tools on an empty layer, which is above the real picture. This is good practice and would help beginners to get used to intelligent usage of layers.
The only thing I can say is.....thank you, I'm not good with these tools but this will be enough for the things I wanna show up so humm...thank you for actually bothering in doing this, it really really helped me out doing yt thumbnails XD.

Excellent intro. I've been playing with it recently and learned some things I was having trouble with.
Can you do a video on how to change b&w photos to colour. There are a few on here but older versions. The colourify has gone from the new version so i can't follow because forums are saying colourify is different to colourize. so i am totally lost :-)

i dont have v and s in the color box thing so i can not change the colors like you did what do i do? iI have version gimp 2.10.8
not used gimp for a really long time so this was very helpful indeed. Thank you.
I'm using the exact church picture and it's only taking up 1/9 of the same sized canvas. Did you alter the original pixabay file before using it on this video? If so, what is the best way to do this?
so the select tool has changed to just free hand and selection based on colour, how do i use the method shown in this video where you place dots and it works out the points in between?
maybe you could make a video showing use how u have set up your gimp?
Seems like a good idea. I'm adding it to my video TODO list.
thank you
Just really quickly to save my eyes: How to I change the tool icons from gray to any color?
Edit -> Preferences -> Icon Theme would be a good start. Try the options there.
Great job! Thanks. You covered the basics of a very complicated program. FREE! That's the tag everybody wants to see, right?
What editor would you recommend?
For years I have been hearing people complain about Gimp not being intuitive. It is an open source volunteer programmed software and that is why it really ought to be good. The way to
solve this problem is to go to the GitHub repository and fork the project. I suggest a name like Intuitive Gimp. Just Fork it!
I am not a programmer but actually I could do this because GitHub is not necessary only about programming it may be possible to enlist non-programmers into a discussion of heuristic design like the discussion that tool place in Xerox when their team invented the mouse. The project starts by imagining how one thinks computers should help you draw. The next step is rearranging how modules are called by the user. So the new fork would really only be creating a new menu system because the program is there. Hopefully at least. One utility I wish they had was a function finder where if I type in a function the menus open up and the boxes fatten up to show where those things are. As far as I know that is new a no one has programmed that. When you imagine what a drawing program should be you wish you could reach into the screen with your hands and pick things up and move them. The whole process needs to be examined as to the perspective of a caveman or a child trying to make a picture but for the most part the program is there and it works. It just needs to be rearranged and organized where grug brainlets like me can pick it up smoothly.
Great tutorial, I want more videos :-D.
thank you, even if it's 2021 now, it's still useful !
holy crap...if I could get gimp to open with the layout this guy has I wouldn't have problems using gimp
How did you mark the text box orange, just by a click on text box, att 14:10?
Great video, it was really helpful for a beginner like me!
Great job, thank you.
Thank you so much for this, I needed to learn how to use this program.
Hi Chris, watching but don't find the answer to my question. How can I put 2 standing pictures next to each other that it looks like a lying picture? if i want to change size, after mirrorring, he cuts out 75% of my original pic. Big thank you. It's day 1 i use Gimp and I want to learn only few things I need for my fashion photos now.
Which version is being used? mine have different tools
I would love to use this to create possible covers for my Ebooks, and maybe for others' too.
Can you do gradients on text color ?
Thanks for the tutorial. Very easy to follow!
How do you show more of the tools, by default there is only a small set.
in case you didn't found or someone else. Edit > Preferences > Toolbox > uncheck "Use tool groups"
Legend. Cheers brother!!! Ohh nerd comments crack me up! Love all you guys - taking over the world one mouse click at a time.
Can you make a video on how to take say a stationary logo and make it into a spinning in and out transition like the old school batman tv show transitions from the 60s
This is a really good guide
when i try to do the background for the text the texy also get black fix?
EPIC ty !
Thank you for the nice tutorial in detailed. so much valuable.
Thanks, very nice! Will be moving to GIMP.
