GIMP 2.3 Tutorial - The User Interface

A decent reference but it does not explain how just what. For how you will need more detailed books. I bought it at a bookstore for two dollars and it was worth it. Ten dollars was the original price and I don't think it would have been worth that much.
This is a very good quick reference guide to the GIMP, although it is slightly out-of-date already (but that's the nature of Open Source software development). ...
This guide informs designers working in a Linux/Unix or Windows environment with a powerful and complex image manipulation tool. The GIMP, a free Open Source image editor and a design application that approximates Photoshop in terms of functionality and power, runs on most *nix platforms.
Inside This Book (learn more) First Sentence: The GNU Image Manipulation Program, commonly called the GIMP, is a freely distributed program for UNIX-like systems running the X Window system, including the popular Linux operating system. Read the first page Key Phrases - Statistically Improbable Phrases (SIPs): (learn more) specified drawable, drawable drawable drawable, white fill layer, cubism filter, tileable images, mprc file, procedural database, plasma texture, floating selection, tool options dialog box, original bounding box, specified stroke, new text layer, full contrast range, specified layer, run mode, window context menus, brush mask, feather option, brush dialog box, rectangular selection tool, indexed images, patterns dialog box, font server, fill tool
While this was not what I was hoping for, it is an excellent introduction to the GIMP. Basic concepts are covered in some detail, and more advanced topics are commented on (mostly, it seems, to give an idea of just how powerful this program really is). The author also frequently advises experimentation, which is really the only way to learn a program like this. Especially useful (to me, anyway) was the admittedly brief coverage on how the GIMP differs from other equivalent programs, especially those from the Mac and Windows worlds.

This video explains the user interface of the GIMP. The goal of the tutorial is to make you understand how the user interface works, so that you can explore GIMP without being hindered by the user interface. Excuse my abuse of the word 'and'. At 2:48 when I say 'layers', I mean 'dialogs'. The sentence should read:"This is where I usually grab my dialogs."== Tutorial FAQ ==Q: I only have one window :( What's wrong?A: By default GIMP is configured to save window positions on exit. If you only get one window when you start GIMP, that's what the saved window configuration is. You can reset this to default by going to 'File / Preferences / Window Management' and clicking the 'Reset Saved Window Positions to Default Values' button. Here you can also disable that GIMP should save window configuration on exit, as well as save current window configuration. This way you can make sure that GIMP will always start with a specific window configuration independant of the window configuration you had when you closed GIMP.== Technical/Misc information ==The video was created with recordMyDesktop and MEncoder, recorded on the Ubuntu linux distribution (version 6.10)And yeah, unfortunately the sound quality sucks, but I don't feel like a re-recording.Feel free to spread the video in YouTube-embedded format as much as you like.

hmmm.... do you mean "guide" line or "guild" lines like u said?if u mean "guide" then you can just keep them in a separate layer then when you finish, delete the layer with the guide lines

One quick question. I just got GIMP, and I draw animals often. I use guild lines in the process. How do I make it so that I can get rid of the guide lines and ONLY the guild lines?
