Great video...many thanks

[@TechHut]

This is some good shiz right here

Great video! I used the multi-window mode of GIMP for a LONG time, even after single window mode was available. I actually liked having access to the image I was working on AND the desktop. If I needed to grab a color from a web page or something, I could do that easily in multi-window mode. I use a mixture of multi-window mode and single window mode.
It was cool seeing how you set things up. Michael Davies has some _excellent_ tutorials on all things GIMP and I highly recommend them!
Thanks for sharing these tips!

Ta for this series, as I've been meaning to learn GIMP for a good while now!

[@jabbermacy]

Thank you sincerely for some Linux app help, if I see another distro review I'm going to be sick...

[@SkyFly19853]

I wish you could make more videos on apps and useful softwares.

Any suggestions for raw editing? I’m looking for a Photoshop Camera RAW FOSS replacement? Rawtherapy and Darktable were a little over the top for me when I tried them.

[@leendert1100]

I only get a single window without the panels .
How to show them

[@jithinjames953]

If you could, please do a video on from where & how to install plugins to gimp...

Which flavour of Linux is being used here? Looks like Mint but I am not sure?

[@rlosangeleskings]

I thought a cat was leaning on the mic later on in the tutorial...

I need to mess around with GIMP more often, I use Photoshop at work a bit and Indesign a lot. Maybe this weekend I’ll create a project and crank up the tunes. Thanks for the tutorial Tom. Ever watch Terry White’s UA-cam channel? He is an Adobe god, you will learn a thing or two from him weather you thought you would or not, ha.

[@debeeriz]

you can change gimps shortcuts to the same as photoshops

[@jithinjames953]

Only almost... Many shortcuts don't work

GImp is very powerful! Along with darktable, I use gimp for most of my photo editing ! One thing which I recently discovered is you can actually create a new blank layer, then use the cloning / healing tools on the underlying layer, but actually clone / heal into the new blank layer! So effectively an easy way to do cloning / healing, where you can easily undo any mistakes!
