In this example the Toolbox Panel is in "focus" therefore the "+" keyboard shortcut to Zoom-in will not work. However, because the panels are still separate elements to the window they will still float over the image and may need to be moved around to prevent them from obscuring the image.
When an image is opened it will be displayed within the maximized window. The panels will be contained with the window but still float above the GIMP Window and can be moved around within that window.
GIMP LOGO BASICS WINDOWS
Once the GIMP Window is maximized it will mostly behave like a typical MS Windows program. If you wish to maintain everything within a single window then the simplest solution is to Maximize the GIMP Window. In example above the Desktop is clearly visible behind the GIMP program. This is different from a typical MS Windows program which opens as a single Window that contain all the elements within that window. When GIMP opens it displays three elements:Įach element can be moved independently around the screen. However, regardless of which version is used, the panels always float above the window. Fortunately, in version 2.8, which is the latest version of GIMP (as of June 2012), the GIMP Window will displayed almost maximized. When you start GIMP, the program places itself on top of other windows but does not necessarily completely cover them as is typical in most MS Window programs as show here on the right. The GIMP Environmentįor MS Window users, the GIMP window isn't quite the same as your typical program window. Both the standard GIMP Window and "Single Window Mode" are included here.
Since the "Single Window Mode" is not turned on by default, GIMP 2.8 still behaves similar to the previous versions. Also note that in GIMP version 2.8 the GIMP Window has a new feature called "Single Window Mode" that behaves differently than the standard GIMP Window. Because the GIMP program was not originally created as a MS Windows program it behaves a bit differently from a typical MS Windows program. However, the first concept that a new user to GIMP will need to master is how the the GIMP window behaves. Although the program comes with many different tools tools to touch-up and enhance images, probably the three most important basic tools to focus on are:Įach tool will be discussed separately on the Topics menu on the left. It contains powerful image editing tools that can do the job very well. The GIMP program is designed to work with images such as enhancing and touching-up images, colorize Black & White images, create image montage, etc.
