Image Windows - GIMP 2.8 Beginners' Guide ep14 Video Lecture | A GIMP Guide for Beginners - Design Softwares

hi in this video I continue with gimp
2.8 preferences so let's go to the edit
menu and select preferences select image
windows the first option use dot 4 dot
by default when this is all GIMP we'll
make sure that each pixel of the image
will be mapped to a pixel on the screen
so this is something useful that you
should keep on next we have marching
ants speed and these marching ants you
can see when you make a selection so if
I use the rectangle select to make a
selection you can see how this is moving
so they indicate the outline of the
selection and the interesting thing
about the assumption is that if you
decrease the number for example to 10
you'll see that the speed increases and
if you enter a big number for example
500 you see that the movement becomes
much slower you can adjust this number
to your preferences next we have zoom
and resize behavior resize window zoom
I'm going to check this then click on
the main window to make your active go
to select none and now if I hold down
the control key and turn the mouse wheel
I'm zooming out and this also resize the
window because we have checked this
option if i zoom in' GIMP will again
change its size next resize window on
image size change there's two ways to
resize an image on one way is to use the
scale tool the other one is to crop the
image I'm going to use the crop tool I'm
going to check this option click and
drag then hit the enter key to crop and
you see this also changed the size of
GIMP in single window mode this effects
also a little bit the docks but in
multiple windows mode both these options
will affect only the image window I'm
going to undo the crop
I prefer to keep both these options off
but if you find them useful and all that
they are here next we have initial zoom
ratio fit to window to demonstrate this
I'm going to close this image and then
I'll go to file open recent and select
the game and you see how the entire
image is visible this is because this
fit to window option is selected if I go
ahead and select the other option close
this image then open it again you see
that now the image is zoomed in 100% so
if I want to view the entire image I'll
need to zoom out again choose the one
that you prefer I prefer the fit to
window option so I can see the entire
image when I open it the next option is
spacebar while spacebar is pressed
you can choose to pan view which is the
default option if I hold down the
spacebar you see I can pan around I can
select you take no action so if I hold
down the spacebar nothing will happen I
can switch to move tool holding down the
spacebar will switch to move tool when I
release the spacebar I'll return to the
previously used - I think that the most
useful option is the plan view option if
you want the move tool you can just
press the M key which is the keyboard
shortcut for that also you can pan view
by holding down the middle mouse button
in case you didn't know that next we
have Mouse pointers I'm going to select
the brush tool adjust the size and if I
mouse over the image you can see the
brush outline the pointer and also next
to the pointer we have a tool icon so if
I turn off the brush outline I will no
longer be able to see it same goes to
the pointer for paint tools only this
means that you see now I can't see
anything the brush outline and also the
pointer but if I change to the move tool
of
able to see the pointer in the two icon
so this one works only for the pain
tools now I'm going to turn both these
on the game and also select the brush
tool next we have pointer mode by
default this is two icon and if I change
this to for example two icon with
crosshair you see now that we have a two
icon with a crosshair you can also
choose this to be crosshair only in the
two I can disappeared I'll go back to
the two I can option and next we have
pointer rendering by default it's fancy
I can select to be black and white you
see how this looks now we can also
choose the pointer handedness by default
right-handed if you prefer left-handed
you can select it from here and you see
how it looks now so that's it for this
