Gimp Tutorial: Layers – The Basics

Filed in Random 25 comments







Please comment and rate videos – this will help other people find them by ranking them higher…it takes a second :) — I was asked to provide a basic explanation of Layers…I hope this helps. Sorry about the lag between audio and video…slightly annoying, I know.

    @wes55463 short cut key for the move tool is “M” and the shortcut keys for quick mask is shift+Q

    @WeAreWhiteKids Only if you download a pirate version – which is not cool. Otherwise GIMP does pretty much everything you want Photoshop to do, it is free, legal and opensource.

    (add to other comment) I dont have that dialog box, so I can’t get my layers box back! What do I do?!

  • MagicSapphire115

    The box that shows the layers disappeared on my screen, how do I get it back?

  • WeAreWhiteKids

    Is there any adobe photo shop that are free?

    Hi Malgalin, Quick Question.

    I want to simply printscreen and then paste the image into Gimp. how do i reduce the size of the main checkered layer, so that i dont have a any ‘White-space’ when i save the image as a Jpeg?

    Thanks!
