Gimp Tips from Meet the Gimp

10 July 2008

I've been sitting on a little email note to myself since October! It's just my hot tips I collected from the early episodes of Meet the Gimp. Finally, I'm going to put them here, so I can find them again, and I can delete that email.

Keys:

'x' swaps background/foreground colors
[ ] scale the current brush

Faking some simple adjustment layers:

multiply a compensation color layer to remove a color cast
screen a color layer add a color cast
multiply a gray layer to darken
overlay a layer and paint black on the layer to burn
soft light a layer and paint white to dodge.
