Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- In this GIMP 2.10 starter guide for beginners, I go through the common GIMP features and GIMP general information beginners typically want to know when they are first starting out with GIMP. Plus, I give an overview of the current state of GIMP, and what GIMP actually is!
This is a great starting point for photo editors or graphic designers whom are completely new to GIMP and want a quick overview of how to use the program before they fully dive in.
I go over the 5 main sections of GIMP, the 4 different types of tools found in GIMP, how to open, save, and export images in GIMP, and how to download GIMP.

So, yeah, it's September of 2020 and still no 3.0. I was wrong about the timeline for 3.0 in this video. My guess (since there is no real, concrete timeline for GIMP 3.0's release) is that GIMP 2.10.22 (the confirmed next new version of GIMP at the time of this comment) will be released by end of October 2020, while GIMP 3.0 won't see the light of day at least till 2021. I would say mid-2021 is the most realistic, if not the latter half of 2021.
@Thumli Koben Go to Edit --> Preferences --> Toolbox, and then deselect use tool groups. Hope that helps!
Thanks for that info, was just about to ask :)
yo its out now

I am a web developer and started using Photoshop about 14 years ago. I've also been using Linux for many years and have become a big supporter of free, open source software. After seeing some major improvements to GIMP recently I've decided to attempt switching over full time. It's videos like yours that encourage and help me transition. Thank you!

ME TOO :)
where is the audio
@@blubblesandbubbles8514 what audio?
I agree even though i get confused while trying to gimp i think i have to keep using to get better at it,.
I would of never figured out how to work gimp if it hadn't been for your videos!
That's awesome to hear - thanks for watching!
I just installed it myself...and so far, so buggy....
Thank you for giving me this jump start into gimp I'm hyped much appreciated.
would have*
do you recommend GIMP?
To the developers who put work into this software. Well done. And thank you
Seriously! I'm sure they're being compensated somewhere and somehow, but even so, it's much appreciated!
@@greggrobinson5116 They're relying on donations.
This was SO helpful because I had no idea where to begin! Thank you for making this!
As a gimp myself, i can say that this has helped me become more of a disappointment than before
Mace Windu take a seat young skywalker
It wasn't your fault, man. You totally had the upper hand on Palpatine.
Thank u mace windu very cool
Ha
Thanks so much. So many features in the GIMP software, I'll have to start using & learning it. Looking forward to your other tutorials.
I really enjoyed this video. The gimp world became understandable to me when I realized that when you "export as" to a different file format all the gimp layer information is lost and we basically get the final product image. Now gimp is no longer scary but just complex.
WHAT A GREAT PIECE OF SOFTWARE! Im watching this while downloading it. thanks for explaining everything for non-technical people.
Denver resident and former bus driver here. Thanks for this tutorial, and shout-out to Union Station!
I know there are plenty of tutorials of the same subject as yours, but this one was incredibly easy to follow & I feel a lot more confident in editing. thank you for taking the time. ♡
Finally I got a great platform to learn gimp from scratch ✌🏻 thanks a lot 😊
Something about the way you explain things really clicks with me. Keep it up ! :)
I just found you and subscribed! Thank you for this channel. I heard about GIMP from my online business mentor and it’s a gem!
This was so helpful for us beginners. Your voice, tonality and pace of speech is just amazing for us to understand. Oh, and of course your explanation. Crystal clear! Now I am going over to watch your 2 hour in-depth tutorial.
I've been limping along on GIMP for many years, and this short video actually gave me a leg up into getting photos edited for my website somewhat efficiently. Like, I'm starting to get it. Thanks for your time and your clarity.
IT WORKED, THANKS I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER, BUT NO TUTORIAL COULD EXPLAIN IT AS YOU DID
Thanks for the tutorial.
Great intro thanks, will check out the longer video.
Awesome. Thank you sir
I had not idea about the little world command, have had Gimp for years! Great product with zero cost.
Sir , thanks for your time in making this video , Because i use gimp to make thumbnails and kinda been having a little bit of a hard time practicing making thumbnails as i learn gimp , after seeing your video im starting to feel im becoming more confident with gimp so i can make professionally eye wrangling thumbnails.
Thank you! This was very helpful!
Excellent. Thank you!
Dzięki za poradnik zostawiam like trzymaj sie wariat!
Thank you for this tutorial and your time!
I've learned something valuable from any of the videos of yours I've watched, however short!

Perfect, thank you !
This is amazing, thankyou!
This is awesome! Thanks so much!
Thank you!
Thank you for this straight-forward and clear demo - I am going to get this tool and will look forward to visiting more - actually I am looking for very simple transforms for the watercolours I do before posting them online - but hey - if can learn something more sophisticated - I am keen
Thanks bro, helped me a lot

Excellent roundup 👍
Thanks!
Hi! This video was very helpful, I was just playing around with some of the tools and when I try the clone tool, it says to set a source image first? What does that mean and how do I set a source image? Thanks!
I could not start the program because some wizzkid hid the Create Destop Icon in the Customize option. I had to reinstall it. Great job!
Thank you, man, you are doing a really good job I really like your videos, I also like your Inkscape videos, God Bless You Bro....
Thanks for the video. it is very helpful. I was wondering if it is possible to make a collage where each photo looks like it has blurred edges that merge into the next photo like a lithograph?
Thank you! great video
Thanks Gerardo!
Thank u Michael! 🤓😉
I like this it would be great to learn more of this type of skill. I didnt know this existed, I have used Canva paid, because I'm a total beginner. I would like to learn more of how to do graphic design and edit Images, I also design teeshirts digitally. Nice tutorial. Good teacher. Laura in uk
Thanks v m for this!
Thanks for this video! This will help me in making thumbnails
Gimp looks very interesting, but Pain is still my favorite software to edit photos.
Ayyyy I see one of the images used was of Union Station in Denver. Shout out to my Denver peeps!
Its so good and im a new at this so cool
Great videos!
Thanks Thomas!
thanks so much
N00b-question: is there a feature that allows me to use a layer as a stencil?
If so what´s the name? I´ve tried to find something, but without the right term, it´s difficult to find.
My idea is to use a black and white image and e.g. use the white spots only to edit the layer below, like spraying on a real-life stencil.
My question is, before I consider downloading Gimp, can it help you fix photos that were on a digital frame (Pandigital frame to be exact from like 17 years ago) where like 5 years ago 14 of the 73 pics on it, the color on half of each of the pics was suddenly distorted?? I loaded these pics onto my laptop a few days ago. These are both B/W and color family photos anywhere from the 1940s to the '90s
Great, informative video. Highly considering switching from Photoshop to GIMP. Is there a tool in GIMP equal to the brush tool in Photoshop? It's used for making custom brush strokes on an image. Thanks in advance!
Jes
gimp makes me suicidal
I'l be shure to check out those gimp twailers
thank you sir. gj
Not sure if you could help but as I was sourcing for some help I came by your video. Can I know if I would like to edit the double chin of a model, which tool should I use? I tried to use wrap tool but nothing seems to be change.. so not sure if I have done any mistakes. Please advise if you could. Thank you in advance.
Thanks you definitely deserves a beer from the yt plebe
Nice video of Gimp! I don't know how widely it's used, but I'm definitely considering since I use Photoshop a lot. (it also helps you're cute as hell!)
I started with you since I could not find a source for learning the extremely complex Paint Shop Pro. As I used this program, I would accidentally click something ( taking a fraction of a second ) and then have to sometimes spend hours undoing the action so that I could continue working and UN-corrupting the thing I was working on. They publish a new version every year, so that it is practically impossible to research how to fix stuff ( version 6 fixes do not work on version 2018, for instance ). There are no basic ground-up instructions ( as with gimp ) to help you simply learn WHAT stuff does.
Thank you.
My brother told me about GIMP today, so I've downloaded it. I've never used photo-editing software before, as a result I did'nt understand a word you were saying. LOL. (no fault of yours, I just don't know any of the terminology)
I'm going to watch the 2 hour feature you mentioned. Hopefully that will help. :)
thanks for you well done video channel!! When I open a photo in Gimp it comes up with a gitter all over the photo. ( Many small squares) This is very disturbing! How do I remove it? Best regards Lotte
Great content - but I have a VERY basic question, I have just used Curves clicked OK and want to use the Levels next but the Curves Window keeps coming up and I can't stop it -please HELP :-) Thanks!
Thanks Davies 🙂
It'd be awesome if you could make a video explaining all the layer modes for beginners.
Will do!
@@DaviesMediaDesign And perhaps another one (or a series) on various filters and how they can be used along with slightly more advanced techniques such as invert -> filter(s) and layering them up to produce different effects.
After loading the software to your computer, do you need to be online to use it?
You damn right it's gonna break the internet👍
Thanks
I've used Gimp in the past, good software!!
I forget if theres a audio converter with it, is there?
Maybe u can help , I tryed using transparent images from google but when I open them in gimp they are no longer transparent ,all the white and grey boxes show up ..Idk what I’m doing wrong
I recommend reading my article on Layer Transparency - it will help you better understand the concept of transparency in GIMP: daviesmediadesign.com/gimp-layers-layer-transparency/
Thanks in advance can I upload my own custom art files and arraign as preferred with custom measurements?
What software do you use to record your screen to make this tutorial? When I try to use snipping tool for recording, GIMP doesn't work no more. Using gamebar recording or a downloaded screen recording app from the internet does work, but then the video does not show the "export" step of GIMP.
I have a question,
when I fill some area with the bucket tool, say I use color ff0000 (a red color).
When I then use the eyedropper to check the color which I just filled the area with, it doesn't have the ff0000 color (instead fc0d1b)
For my project it is absolutely vital to use the correct RGB colors so I don't understand why the colors I fill with aren't the ones that show up.

If I select scissors. How do I remove the glittering surrounding the picture once the tool has been used.
Can someone tell me where the layers video is? Thanks for making these videos. I love the internet!
Super explination
When I upgraded to Windows 10 I also updated to GIMP 2.10.8 I saw there is now a 2.10.14? Should I continue to update. I haven' seen tutorials for my version or higher yet.
Yes - I recommend updating to the latest version of GIMP. I have a video series on "What's New in GIMP" that covers every version up to the latest release (including at this time 2.10.14). Visit my channel's main page to find it (it's in plain site).
Cool!
Hello future me looking at this comment
Hi, I'm subscribed. : ] When I tried to open a file into Gimp, I wasn't able to see most of my folders. Like, I couldn't open my Photos folder and start work on a Jpeg from there. Is there a reason why I'm not seeing all of my folders usually found in finder. Also, I work on a MAC.
How do I make the tool and hover text for them bigger? If I can't see the tools.. or what the hover text says, I can't use the tools.
Hi, there. For the longest time, my rotate dialogue box was automatically detached from the canvas. As soon as I clicked to rotate, it'd pop up, the angle automatically highlighted.
Now it suddenly doesn't. And when I'm trying to rotate about 500 images 30 degrees each way, that's a lot of extra mouse clicks and really slows the process down.
Would you know how to toggle Gimp so that a tool box (such as rotate) is detached by default?
Thanks.
Finally, A Gimp get-to-the-point instructional video.
You doing great job brother please if you can show as short tutorial how to use Opacity in GIMP please. thank you.
Can you use photo and turn into a line/pencil drawing with Gimp?
New subscriber here! Thank you so much for these awesome tutorials. I was wondering if you had a tutorial that would help me with resizing photos? Many thanks again!
Thanks for subscribing! You may want to check out my tutorial on scaling images without quality loss (czcams.com/video/Qk3BP8vzPdY/video.html) or my 2 hour GIMP Basics tutorial (czcams.com/video/2EPIUyFJ4ag/video.html) - one of those should help you out! The latter video that I linked has an index in the description where you can jump to the part of the video where I talk about the scale tool.
Can you use this with creative Studio or Cricut? I need a way to resize Very new to all this and don’t know much of anything. 😊 Or…do you need anything at all to use it to resize photos?
I'm a BIT late, but could you do a Video about making this "Profile Picture" at 3:57 ? It Looks amazing !
My colour palette is no longer selecting the right colour? Whenever I use it to select a colour, it only displays white? Is there a way to fix this because I've tried resetting to default settings and nothings worked? Please help!
Thank you so much for all ur amazing tutorials can you make a video on how to create a Facebook cover 😇
