I needed a crash course in GIMP and I am spending my Sunday going through this playlist. It's the thoughtfulness that makes this so good. The circle around your mouse pointer and the keystrokes appearing on screen. It's like you want us to learn or something! Excellent work fella!
I appreciate the text addition at the bottom of the screen describing your keystokes, very important help that so many other tute videos should include.
A nice way of reviewing the various selection tools offered by GIMP. Thank you very much for this video.
You move quickly, but you are so concise! That's important. Thank you.
Hi guys. Just to interject: If you're going to want to add to selection when using the circle selection tool, you'd have to press shift and then left click on your mouse to add new circle selections to your image.
I wish all tutorials were this good... Thank you!
Nice tutorial , very clear and well explained. I am follow you to learn more. Thank you.
love your videos.....well done....as always
Very helpful. Thanks for the info!
I love Gimp I was using a very very old version of Photoshop for years. Please keep up the GIMP tutorials they are very helpful. THANKS AGAIN
I have Photoshop CS 5 on my old Mac, but my computer is SO slow now, so Gimp is what I'm trying to figure out now, too! I agree- the tutorials are great.
Very good video, thank you.
How can I edit the area I drawed with the selection tool after I smashed enter?
I have been following a few gimp tutorials on utube but some of them get a bit ahead of what I understand please keep doing your tutorials at basic level it's a big learning curve for us who are not professional thanks Billy FROM Broadstairs
So good videos. Just subscribed!
@LogosByNick The foreground select tool doesn’t work like you have shown in ur video. The problem ist that once I combine the last point with the first I don’t get a blue selection respectively a stroke to give the program the data which it needs 🤔
Thanks for clear demonstration. Do you have a place where your other tutorials exist?
How to select both eyes of a face, then exclude that from a filter effect?
Hi, Thank you for your helpful tutorial 🤓🤓🤓🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your video really ,
I need some help if you can really appreciate it.
I have one screenshot , I just want to draw a rectangle and than cut or copy the area of the screenshot -covered by select rectangle
If i do ctrl c or ctrl x , the image part does not get copied .
if you choose the scissor tool, would you use a drawing tablet, or for convenience a mouse?
How do I return to the brush tool after using a selection tool? It doesn't let me draw with the brush tool when I click a selection tool
good job thank you
Hey thanks dude! Do you happen to know can you make a rectangle selection and then rotate the selection angle without picture?
How do you get that sidebar on the side where you can see your tools and stuff?
Very good thank you
I’m no longer able to make points to connect to with free select like I used to be able to. What happened? What am I doing wrong?
Thank you 👍
2:17 thats nice, finally I know how moving a selection works, BUT I found also out, if you are in the selection tool you can hold ALT to move it, you dont need to switch to the mover tool.
i got my gimp screwed up and now when I go into rectangle select and drag a rectangle selection it does not anchor the corner and drag from there., the selection grows in all four directions. I think te anchor point is in the center instead of the corner. Or something. I can't quite figure it out. All I know is that I have to drag a box til it's about the right size then move it over the spot I want to select. How do I change it back so the rectangle grows from the starting corner like is shown in your video?
Seems like the end screen of this vide, doesn't have the links added. Thanks for the videos
How would you cut out a strawberry , select it then simply make it larger inside the original image ? I’m struggling - seems like I’m missing something simple
can u change the opacity on the selected area?
Please make a video explaining how to remove logos or images in difficult / busy spots.
I think I miss the easy selection options offered by Adobe now.
When I make a selection, I only want to affect the Hue-Saturation of that selection. It was working before. Maybe I hit some extra keys as I was fumbling around, and toggled something. How do you only change what's within your selection(when there's marching ants)?
Can you make a video showing how to merge 2 or more gifs together in gimp ?
Hello, please help the very newbi to GIMP: how to switch off any of selection buttons when I decide not to use any of them. How to stop selecting before it is done? Thank you
So how do I make a right triangle with the selection tools?
how to insert shapes, like we do in word or paint ,circle square diamond star etc
Any tool in GIMP similar to performing "transparent selection" in MS paint??
What it does is select by treating background solid colour as transparent. For example if u have some text written over a solid white colour, and u do transparent selection, then only the non white parts will be selected.
See here: ua-cam.com/video/TE6O2fGJDfc/v-deo.htmlm10s
Update: Can blending modes be the answer to this?? I am thinking that it will work only for white or black. And not very well with others.
Thanks!
how do you do pencil select like in photoshop?
can u tell us how to move a specific part of an image rather than the whole image itself
seriously this is the most important aspect of selection and yet it never gets covered...
Please explain to me how I remove "expand from center" from the face of earth!? That thing constantly turns it self back on when I un-check it xD It is soooo annoying, I prefer not using expand from center. xD Got damnit
what kind of gimp r u using?
Hello Tj, thankyou for your informative tutorials. Unfortunately I am at my witts end having listener to and tried to get Gimp to work for me after much effort.
Great tutorial, very helpful! But I'm having issues with the "Scissors Select" tool. After using the tool to select a specific region of the image, I am unable to select other regions. The mode is properly set to "Add to the current selection", however, when I hover anywhere over the image (that is OUTSIDE of the originally selected region), the icon shows a "Do Not Enter" symbol, and sure enough if I try to select a new region, nothing happens. So it seems the "Add to current selection" mode MUST intersect the current selection? I'm trying to cut out multiple regions of the same image (to paste over a different background); but the scissors select does not seem to be able to do this. Please advise?
Nvm: Ticket Closed. User error (as always). I hadn't actually selected anything yet (I still had to hit "Enter")🤦♂Now I can select whatever additional regions I want...leving this up for posterity
Make video about removing background from images make it transparent
For UA-cam thumbnails or for fiver gigs
I do not see the moving black and white line when I select something how do I fix that?
Anyone know how to make multiple selections?
When i select by scissors select and then cut it, it cuts the whole picture and i cant understand why, can somebody explain??
I'm looking to warp it sideways. In GIMP I dont even get those squares when I paste a selection :(
How to rotate the selection box?
Thanks so much for the tutorials. I have a question. How do you get out of the selection after your done using it? like when I am done with opacity how do I end using that tool, when I try it just wants me to do something else. I cant figure out how to end the tool? thanks so much :)
When using a free-hand selection tool, how can go back edit the selection points after you have already pressed ?
@@TheRyuukazi Thanks for the quick reply, but that just removes the selection altogether rather than still having the selection and be able to edit/change/delete points on the selection that was made.
how do i move a strawberry to another position?
I found no way to change a circle selection size after moving it. Why is such a simple Task so damn inconvenient.
Point of interest:
10:16 wow, that's nice cloudy shape u just made there. That could have been much more powerful the way i was thinking it.
Questions:
0:56 which software for keypress overlay?
3:37 which screen recorder ?? (also at 9:43 - u zoomed in and panned - nice, i always wanted that feature in a free/gratis recorder)
On my mac selection tool not works how to solve it? Is anyone here using gimp?
how do you deselect everything
But... how do you unselect something? (After you move the selection for example.)
Try Select > None from the top menu bar (or select all). You can also get to the selection options by Right Clicking. Hope that helps!
Pls help me how to recover select tool
A nice vid! But how to end a selection? I mean, I cut out a piece from a picture as I intended but the edge animation keeps running on.
Actually, I'm in the same boat now! I pasted it into a new layer but it's still all pizzazzed as if I have to take an additional step. Help us, TJ FREE
Update: after pasting the free-selected image into a NEW layer, I was able to use Select > None. It's still got the animation going, but I can use other tools now.
Okay, after you paste the cropped thing in a new layer, go to that layer (on the bottomish right of the screen), right click, go to layer >anchor layer
@@kjuergens1985 Actually it works, but I wasn't aware of such option as I presumed Esc would do the trick. I find it strange that such a logical option doesn't work.
I’m trying to use the free lasso tool on gimp I open my image and then it says “cannot intercept with an empty selection” how do I fix that
How do I remove the selection tool?
Thanks a lot. Very useful and clear.
bloody hell i hate this program all i'm trying to do is check out an image on my car for hood wrap idea but the second u put an image into a selected area it becomes useless , all u can do is move it and the layers become void... its bs and i have been struggling for hours, cant adjust it at all
I can't find 'move' anywhere in tools, anyone else have this problem?
Swear to god everytime I open this program it does something different, sometimes it will open the same background image landscape the way I want to. Other times it will be super zoomed in to one section and I can't expand it again.
Hi, how do we unselect it once it selected ? Sorry i had this problem.
Good question. Try Right Click > Select > None. There is also a Select option along the top menu bar, and you can choose 'None' or 'All' from that list. Hope that helps!
@@hanselxyb5825 If you like keyboard shortcuts, it's Shift+Command+A on Mac. I assume Shift+Control+A would work on a PC.

Excellent video. You spoke a language I could clearly understand. Thank you.
How is it possible, if at all, to continue lasso tool selection? I mean, I went wrong on a particular spot from where I like to continue. How to I continue the previously selected line?
no one ever uses lasso tool. most ppl use the path tool then right click and press path to selection.
I can't see all the tools :S There is only 16 of them.
Canberk SEZER Hey, I don’t know whether you already found the answer yourself but you can either rightclick your free select tool, i believe, to see other selection modes or you can disable tool groups in the settings
I have atm. this image here:

And I have such an image much times, its a outfit for a 3d Software, so I can redesign it, but selecting the regions is annoying, the wand does not get the zones correct, the magic scissors either.
I did hope to find a better solution to select regions but... looks like there is no better way in gimp.
So a lasso does the best.
Who gave the thumbs down? Why?
a very USELESSSSS video...
yes you do a crop to selection but when you export it you get your tiny selection in the middle of a huge black area.. It doesnt explain how to get rid of this black area. Somehow the image size must be reduced to crop size. I have watched tens of gimp videos but nobody seems to be aware of this problem..
Negative given for my wasted 11 minutes...
Gimp is probably the most unintuitive app ever!
20 years down the line, early PS is still better, simpler and more efficient to use. Viva la free software, I hate this tool
Kinda useless.
I’m making my way through your set of gimp videos and have to say that they are the tutorials I’ve found so far. You are a natural teacher. Thanks yet again!
