GIMP Class

This class will give you the skills to open, edit and combine images using the powerful program named GIMP.

To Install:

GIMP will likely be installed on your computer already, but if not, you can find it in Synaptic Package Manager under "gimp." Other useful packages are "gimp-data-extras" that include extra brushes and gradients, and the "gimp-help-en" package.

Step One: Different Ways to Open a File

Right-click on the file and choose "Open with...GIMP Image Editor." Alternatively, start GIMP first and drag the picture file into the toolbar.

Step Two: GIMP history

GIMP makes a mistake as easy to fix as the keyboard shortcut "ctrl-z."

The undo command and extensive undo history are also found under the "Edit" menu. Try something crazy, you can always undo it if you don't like the outcome. If you don't like the fact you've undone something, the "Redo" command will restore your edit.

Keeping track of multiple files is easy, too. Once a file has been opened it will appear in a list under "Open Recent" in the File menu.
