Tilt part of the image to some direction. Scale the active layer, selection or path. Rotate the active layer, selection or path. Lighten or darken an image's shadows, mid tones or highlights.Īlign or arrange layers and/or other objects. Paint anti-aliased with a simulation of a nib.Ĭopy pixels from one part of an image to another.Ĭlone from an image source after applying perspective transformation. Paints soft- or fuzzy-edged lines that is, the pixels are anti-aliased and/or feathered. Select a region containing foreground objects.ĭraw exact pixel-edged lines that is, not anti-aliased. Select by colour without any limit to continuous regions. Notice that there's no ellipse drawing tool as such, only selecting. Select circular or horizontal / vertical elliptic regions. Select square or rectangular regions (axis-aligned). These tools are available by default in toolbox. More sophisticated tools are not in the toolbox, but next to the Tools, in the Filters menu. Shortcuts written here are the default values - you can change them any time in "Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts" or "Edit > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts".


To switch the window to toolbox, you can use Ctrl + B. All tools can also be accessed by opening the "Tools" menu. Remember that tools go from the up-left corner, rightwise then down.īy default not all tools are shown - for example GEGL operation and colour tools are omitted. Then start moving them in Preferences accordingly. If leaving a not evenly divisible quantity of tools, the lowest-right corner can't be utilized.įor that matter, it may be useful to make a screenshot of the toolbox with having activated all the needed tools, and lay out the grid in an easy raster program like Paint or GIMP itself, to make the surface look the needed way. If the user later shifts the width of the toolbox' panel (to optimize space on screen), the grid gets misaligned, so there's a way to accommodate only 1 layout. There's no way to align tools to right or other corners, or each other. Even though the program's layout updates instantly.

To put the tool on the panel go to "Edit > Preferences > Toolbox".īut it can only be edited in a linear way, that is, while sorting it in the "options" there's no way to see where tools will finally appear on the grid. To select tools for doing something, go to the "Tools" menu, and select any tool you want. Toolbox is customizable, this means that you can add / remove any tool you want. GIMP has a "toolbox" to quickly perform basic tasks.
