    The logo on the GIMP Series is better than the actual logo of Gimp.

    If you click a dot node and want to undo it, I believe you can do so by pressing backspace as well, instead of ctrl+z

Already have tried few to follow as i watch working in gimp on the second virtual screen, on KDE switching thru them is super fast end easy. This youtube channel is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and effort to do all that. God bless you! Greetings from Croatia.

    Hey Nick, love the tutorial. Super easy to follow.
    I'm not sure if you will ever see/reply to this but I'm having some trouble.
    When I go to 'Oilify' my picture, it doesn't do anything! It is only doing it for one of my pictures, too. I tried 3 other ones and it worked for all of them but for some reason it isn't for the only one I actually want to use! Go figure! lol I just wanted to know why that might be.

      If you're doing a lot with vectors, Inkscape may be a better program, and you can easily move things from Inkscape to Gimp.

    • @RogerioPereiradaSilva77
      @RogerioPereiradaSilva77 5 років тому +1

      It uses a dark theme by default now following a trend of many Linux multimedia editing tools that are following on Adobe's footsteps. I don't say that in a pejorative way, though. If there is a setting where using a dark color scheme makes perfect sense, it is when editing images.
