Gimp- Setting Up
Saturday, July 31, 2010
Gimp is an image Manipulating Program which is Similar to Photoshop in many ways. It is Photoshop but free :) .
Downloading/Installing:
You can download it from : http://www.gimp.org/
The installation process is very easy.............just do whatever gimp says :)
* Note * : try and not change the installation folder............unless u will still remember the address of it :)
it should look like this :
Setting Up :
Rescale your toolbox to make 6 options per line, this gives it a nice layout and also gives you more space for making your images
Look in the toolbox........i.e the window in the right :)
U need to add tabs in order to use gimp properly and faster.
Do so by clicking on the "Triangle in the Box" icon ( see image )
