# This is a list of tips for the GIMP. Every time the GIMP is
# started, one tip will be selected from this file and will be
# displayed in the "Tip of the day" dialog.
#
# - Lines starting with '#' are comments.
# - Blank lines or comments separate two tips (they are not ignored).
# Multiple blank lines are treated as one. If you want to have a
# blank line in a tip, put a space or tab in it.
# - Text will appear in the dialog as it is in this file. This is
# done on purpose in order to have more freedom in the layout of the
# tips than with automatic word-wrapping, but this also means that
# you have to avoid excessively long lines in this file.
# - Tips should be concise: 3 lines or less.
#
# Tips in this file have been contributed by Zachary Beane, Mo Oishi,
# Raphael Quinet, Sven Neumann and other people on the gimp mailing
# lists.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# The first tip should be a welcome message, because this is the
# first thing that a new user will see.

The file selection dialog box has command-line completion with
Tab, just like the shell. Type part of a filename, hit tab, and voila!
It's completed.
You can reassign shortcut keys on any menu by bringing up the menu,
selecting a menu item, and pressing the new shortcut key combination.
This is dynamic and is saved when you exit GIMP.
All the old channel operations have been replaced with the more
powerful and flexible Layer and Layer Mode operations. They may
take getting used to, but they are simply a better way to operate.
You can use the middle mouse button to pan around
the image, if it's larger than its display window.
Click and drag on a ruler to place a Guide on an image. All
dragged selections will snap to the guides. You can remove
guides by dragging them off the image with the Move tool.
The GIMP supports gzip compression on the fly. Just add
'.gz' (or '.bz2', if you have bzip2 installed) to the filename
and your image will be saved compressed. Of course loading
compressed images works too.
Pressing and holding the Shift key before making a selection allows
you to add to the current selection instead of replacing it. Using
Ctrl before making a selection subtracts from the current one.
You can press or release the Shift and Ctrl keys while you are
making a selection in order to constrain it to a perfect square
or circle, or to have it centered on its starting point.
# Tips for advanced users start here
#
You can adjust the selection range for fuzzy select
by clicking and dragging left and right.
Shift-click on the eye icon in the Layers dialog to hide all
layers but that one. Shift-click again to show all layers.
Ctrl-click on the layer mask's preview in the Layers dialog
toggles the effect of the layer mask.
Alt-click on the layer mask's preview in the Layers dialog
toggles viewing the mask directly.
You can use Alt-Tab to cycle through all layers in an image
(if your window manager doesn't trap those keys...).
Shift-click with the Bucket Fill tool to have it use
the background color instead of the foreground color.
Control-drag with the Transform tool in rotation mode
will constrain the rotation to 15 degree angles.
You can adjust and re-place a selection by using Alt-drag.
If your fonts turn out blocky, that's because they're not scalable
fonts. Most X servers support scalable Type 1 Postscript fonts.
Download and install them.
# FIXME: The next tip should disappear once we have solved the
# problems of stale pluginrc files and plug-in directories.
# All other files in ~/.gimp can be kept after an upgrade.
# In particular, we should try to preserve gimprc. --Raphael
When installing a new version, be sure to
delete your ~/.gimp directory first.
Using Edit->Stroke allows you to draw simple squares or circles by
painting the edge of your current selection with the active brush.
More complex shapes can be drawn with Filters->Render->Gfig.
To create a perfect circle, hold Shift while doing an ellipse select. To
place a circle precisely, drag horizontal and vertical guides tangent to
the circle you want to select, place your cursor at the intersection
of the guides, and the resulting selection will just touch the guides.
