YOU ARE, A LIVING LEGEND!!! your tutorial made me understand the basics for GIMP as i wanted to give it a try and possibly switch from Pixlr as GIMP has more features on it and it's free as well, thxx a lot for your explanation!!!
I appreciate the thoroughness of your tutorial and even design tips that you use. For the text shadow issue, you could add a space in the text box to the beginning and end to keep it in the center, but also prevent the shadow from being cut off while still being editable text.
Could you please do a video on something that looks like it has a white background please and then add the transparent part in. Ie. I downloaded a stitch clip art because my grandchildren love this little character and when I added into print and cut in my cricut (ready to sublimate after printing and cutting) the background was white to my eye before printing but when it was printed it had a pink background I hope I've explained this well. TIA
You talked about the benefits of layers, and we can create a layer, but can we make color effects, such as color saturation and coloriz and color blance, in an isolated layer, as is the case in Photoshop?
Thanks a lot for you and the tutorial! by the way, i found hot key in edit text could use mostly emacs style moving key, except the key 'Ctrl+/ ' for select all text. it is diff from your intro, may be it is because of different version GIMP (my version is 2.10.32,in linux)
thank you, very helpful. I however struggle with the layer based editing. I have a white background layer, then opened an image in a new layer. then duplicated the image layer as I want to play with blending modes. But when I then select the last layer and try to fli the image horizontally, I see it flips it in both layers. Is there a way to just flip it on one layer? thank you
@@theglitterbombmom I have joined some Facebook groups and posted my question there. I got an answer which worked. But I can't remember 😂 but the principle was to use menu just for the picture not the layer or something like that
Can I not select paintbrush strokes or pencil marks? I accidentally drew an arm too close to the head and I REALLY don't want to redraw it! I drew it using the pencil tool on a transparent background.
He starts with a screen that is not the default when you download gimp. Can anyone explain how to make my screen look like his screen with all the tools?
I have been a PS user for decades. Why did I change to GIMP? Because you can no longer get a desktop only version and have to have a subscription. They wouldn't even help me to reactivate my old PS5 because they no longer support it. I wasn't asking for support ... I just wanted to get back what I paid for, and apparently that's no longer an option. Bu-Bye Photoshop. Having said that, I heard that GIMP is very similar. Well, it's not. Steep learning curve. Yes, it offers (in some cases more than the PS version I had) additional things, but the system doesn't at all work the same. Shortcuts are different. Text handling is MUCH different. Tools aren't as intuitive to change, so many other things. Now, I'm not dissing GIMP at all. I'm just pointing out that if a PS user decided, as I did, to go with GIMP instead of paying ransom for PS cloud service you don't want or need, breathe, watch the tutorials, and get over the differences. SO frustrating, but it will be okay ...
Need help !!!!!!!!!! 😫 I was in the process of creating a flyer and after a day of work gimp closed on its own and I lost all my progress is there a way to get it back
Why is this screen black? What happened to the one that was white with colors? How the hell do I get these toolboxes that I can actually interact with and adjust the tools and sizes? I go to select tools and it shows it but it's so small and I don't have any color options to make the desktop have any colors. God I hate gimp
Sorry. You are very knowledgeable... however, whenever you 'click' on some icon with the cursor, I am never able to find where you're pointing. Then, before I know it you're on to the next highlight.
why don't you zoom in a bit? It's crazy, nobody can see the items you are clicking on unless they have some sort of extraordinary eyesight. Very frustrating.
Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator are still extremely powerful software. However, a lot of what they can do can also be done with GIMP, Inkscape, Photopea, Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, etc.
not really for beginners, beginners don't want layers, just zooming, correcting some lines and making those fonts bigger in the editor because it is hard to see them

Best Tutorial so far, straight to the point, broght out the hidden meaning of the tool of icons.

As long as you put it on 0.75. Otherwise it's tough to listen to. Why do these guys always act like they're in some sort of speed reading competition?

Need help !!!!!!!!!! 😫 I was in the process of creating a flyer and after a day of work gimp closed on its own and I lost all my progress is there a way to get it back
sorry but, thats not how computers work, i have a tip for next time, save every 5-10m
And at the end save it as a psd before export

using things like photoshop is too hard and it is too limited from how i tried using it

Background color, foreground color? lost me already...
No matter how many tutorials I watch on this program I don't have the same tools or it doesn't do what you're doing. I GIVE UP@@!@!@
This does not tell me how to move an image. Why is it so difficult to do that in this thing...
Please tell me you figured it out 😭
It's literally at 11 mins lol. Worked for me
Just use move tool or zoom tool or mouse wheel, so easy bro 😅
not really for beginners, beginners don't want layers, just zooming, correcting some lines and making those fonts bigger in the editor because it is hard to see them
Not for beginners. Don't advertise such
People like you get the video maker in trouble. The company that owns soft soft, Image Line, are very aggressive with piracy. They read
Layers right away? For a beginner, I'd rather start from a blank page. The step by st ep make it into a complete picture. Sorry. but Thanks anyway.
This is like photoshop but open source of course it's going to be layer base thats how most people use it.
