Image window - GIMP Beginners' Guide ep117 Video Lecture | A GIMP Guide for Beginners - Design Softwares

hi in this tutorial I want to talk a
little bit about the main window or the
image window here in game as you know in
gimp 2.6 different images open in a
different windows so you see here the
first thing that we have is the menu bar
we can also access that by clicking here
or we can right click on the image and
you will see again the same options here
now this is entirely a matter of habit
if you want to work with this one or
this one and also you can click here and
make this a floating dialogue and let's
say position somewhere on the image
where you are doing some work and you
want to quickly to access the options
here so this style of working can save
you some time but it's entirely like I
said a matter of habit because if you
are used to kind of on autopilot select
options from here this menu finding
those options from here it's kinda will
take you some time so it's entirely up
to you if you want to use this menu here
or this this one and if you make this a
floating dialog the way you close it is
with this optional just clicking here
now what else do we have here in the
image window okay said we have the menu
bar we have also the rules here and the
scroll bars also we have this option
that gives us the ability to navigate
through the image we can click this
option here and resize or more precisely
zoom in zoom out the image depending on
the size of the windows so when you're
resizing the image window this image may
stay the way it is right now or zoom out
or zoom in
to be visible in the window down here we
have the status bar and the zoom options
here the ability to work in pixels and
other metric systems also when we have
our mouse over an image you see here the
coordinates the x and y coordinates of
the location of the pixel that we are on
with our mouths right now and also here
we have some information about the two
in the status bar I see right now I
would sing click to paint control to
pick a color so if you hold down the
control key you'll get the color picker
and you select a color to pick that
color so here you get some useful tips
now this scroll bars here and the rulers
sometimes you may not use them often for
example the scroll bars I never use them
at home so we can go to view here we
decide to hide this scroll bars like
this but you see that also we lost some
of the options let's bring them out
again for a second here also the quick
mask button have already discussed this
we lost that we also lost this button
here and the button that allows us to
zoom in and out the image according to
resizing the window so hiding this
scroll bars and also you can hide the
rules like that make more space for the
image you can also hide the status bar
here and you can hide the menu bar and
this window now only can tell its app we
have some information the title of the
image the color space RGB right now how
many layers we have in this image the
width and height of the image this is
also what we've got here so it's
entirely up to you how you want to work
right now
in GIMP and that's right click here view
and bring our menu bar game so if you
hide this and you wondering how to do
that just right-click and get the same
man here let's go to view again show
roars shows crowbars and right now the
only shortcut key board shortcut
assigned here is for the rules but you
can also you seen some of the future
videos how we can assign other shortcuts
here to quickly hide the scroll bars for
example when we don't need them and
something else if you do hide them from
here when you close game and start it
again they will appear again because by
default their own so if you want to hide
them and make them appear only when you
want you you have to do that from the
Preferences I've made enough videos
about that and then Gimple start let's
say without the roars and scroll bars
and you can make them visible only when
you want you so that's it for this image
window and in the next tutorial I'll
start discussing the file menu here bye
for now
