UPDATE: I mentioned at the beginning of this tutorial that they hadn't put out a download of the latest version of GIMP for MAC users.. They have since released a MAC download! Just visit the GIMP downloads page in the video description.
QUESTION: as i was going thru the settings at the beginning of this video ..i accidentally did something that made the icons on the upper left corner disappear..how do i get that list of icons back on the upper left corner(i believe its called a tool dock?) :O to show up again when i start gimp up :O
now 18 minutes into this vid ..... i figured it out lol whew!! i got that toolbox back :) btw i subbed ya for this video ty ty ty AND added this tutorial to one of my playlists
A hint about transparency is given at 10:48 time. Note that only certain file formats support transparency (alpha channel). GIF and PNG are two I know for sure do. JPG does not.

i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
10 minutes in and you've already solved the mystery of the missing tools. This is just what I needed!
I'm not done watching, but so far this is the most helpful beginner tutorial that I have seen. Thank you so much!!!
7 minutes in and I can already tell this is going to be a great tutorial. Also, THANK YOU for putting an index in the description box. You legit thought of everything!
Thanks for the kind words - and glad you found the index helpful! Thanks for the great comment.
I haven't been able to use Gimp because I had no tool options window on the left. Thanks to you, now I do. Now I can start learning/using Gimp.
Thanks.
Thank you so much for this. I've wanted to learn image manipulating / basic digital design for a while now, and this was _exactly_ what I needed. You clearly understand excactly what a GIMP beginner wants to know about the program, and your explanations are to-the-point and easy to understand. I'm looking forward to binge-watching the other GIMP tutorials you have made! :)
Couldn't have been done better, absolute best tutorial on GIMP here! Simple but covers all the most important tools, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for putting this together :)
I don't comment often but, I'm 30 minutes into this video and I'm having trouble concentrating because I keep wanting to hit like and subscribe(again) for my appreciation of this tutorial. I honestly wish I could personally thank you so, this will have to do. Thanks again for being part of the growth of myself and so many other artists. Peace
The tutorial I'd been looking for. So grateful for this. Really comprehensive and easy to follow. So many others rush through things so fast, you can't follow if you're a beginner.
3:41 settings. Great explanation
Thank you so much for this. I need to edit some photos and found GIMP, but had no idea how to use it, lol. This tutorial is incredibly helpful and detailed. I especially love how you put in the timestamps in the description, it makes things sooo much easier.
This is one of the best tutorials I've found on youtube. Detailed but easy to follow, and moves at good pace. Thank you
What a legend only one ad in the beginning . Your so damn underrated
THANKS FOR YOUR TUTORIAL, I hope that no big tech company will buy the license of GIMP in the next 200 years
Thank you for putting this video together. It is just what I needed and clarified things wonderfully.
Thank You. For years I've been researching and figured out things as I went. I wish I would have watched a video like this a few years ago. Some of the things you show I knew how to do, but there are many things I had no idea what these items did. This will help me a great deal. It helped me with a couple problems I was having with a current project I'm working on. Again, I wish I would have watched this video a long time ago. I will continue to watch more videos. I will watch the layer one and 5 things you didn't know Gimp could do. Thanks again. Bye the way I have watched your videos in the past and they were helpful; which led me to this video. It's my fault I didn't really watch a long "intro" video. LoL.
Always wanted to try using software like this and finally got round to trying it. I managed to figure a couple of things out on my own, then I found this video. MASSIVE help. A much more in depth tutorial than I ever expected. Fantastic!
I've watched this tutorial and as a beginner I started to feel more confident that I'm gonna learn more about Gimp.Many thanks to you Michael. :)
Davies, you nailed it in this video. You did it all. Presentation was perfect, delivery and pace is perfect, clarity and progression are fully comprehensive. You even cut the video content into sections. Very impressive. I learned a lot in this tutorial and fully enjoyed it. Thanks Davies!
REALLY good tutorial. I just upgraded from 2.8 and was pretty freaked out by the interface at first - everything was dark and all the icons were grey so I was really glad that you addressed the preferences right out of the gate. I also learned a ton of little navigating tricks that I was not aware of.
I stopped GIMPing about 10 years ago and decided to watch this tutorial to refresh my memory because I'm pretty rusty. This video is AMAZING! It taught me a lot of things that I didn't already know. Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to make it
Awesome tutorial! Thanks for all the effort you put into making it. Super helpful to this newbie.
Thank you so much Davies for putting so much together in one tutorial for a beginner to get started and to provide necessary links for more elaborate explanations! You've done such a brilliant job! I'm planning to use GIMP to design the cover of my book which is about to be published soon... Keep up your good work! You are great help to so many folks...
Absolutely Informative best yet! And your voice pitch is perfect and words just flow, kept me interested and engaged. Thank you, I truly enjoyed the tutorial and will continue to watch more.
other than pronouncing "aliasing" wrong, this is a VERY good tutorial, especially for a beginner like me, thank you!
This is a very good GIMP tutorial and after an hour and forty-five minutes you had only covered a small part of the program. I am new to GIMP so this was just what I needed. Thanks!
OMFG! Your tutorials are a freekin lifesaver!! Thank you so much. I tried to use Gimp YEARS ago and gave up. Now I really NEED a tool that will do word art as well as deal with photos. Because of you I've settled on the Gimp and am able got make headway on figuring it out. So happy. Headin over to your Patreon.
Awesome video! Thank you for putting the tine and hard work into this tutorial.
Your videos have taught me so much when it comes to editing my phots/graphics in Gimp. I cannot thank you enough. You deserve millions of subs for your efforts, and to top it off you index the videos. Thank you for all you do, hopefully commenting helps your algorithm.
Already had Gimp downloaded and knew a few things, so the labeled timeline was great! First time I've seen this, very helpful.
I have been using Gimp for over 5 years now, but I have taught myself thru trial and error. I am enjoying going thru your Tutorials as I am learning things I never knew. Thank You for all the time & effort you have put into these as many of the features still apply even in the 2.10.14 version.
Me too. I have learned complex things but didn't know the basic things to help me.
After watching just the first few minutes of this video I realized it is what I have been looking for. I have had GIMP sitting in my computer for a long time, but never really used it except to color correct a photo once and awhile. I knew the program had great potential and this video has opened the door to the hallway of fully understanding it's full capabilities and potential. Thank You !! And yes I have hit the subscribe button and the bell.
Awesome tutorial! Thank you for explaining things in a way i can understand it! I am very excited to start using GIMP.
I've just discovered this tutorial, absolutely sensational. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful introduction to GIMP!! I'm so grateful!
these are so helpful. seriously thanks. just got into photography and editing and you just upped my game considerably.
Great video thank you so much going through the next one after this. I was doing simple projects the long way, just trying to figure out what I was trying to do instead of taking the time and getting the understanding of the basics and then moving on. Always learning..... Thank you so much for this video looking forward to finding what I am looking for but I am learning so much through the things I had no idea about. Never EVER used a photo editing software before, so GIMP is my introduction and really putting in the time to try and learn. Thanks for your videos.
This was a great intro tutorial and well worth the time. This was still helpful for the most recent version, 2.10.14
By far the most informative beginners tutorial for Gimp. Have also subscribed as i will be watching all your tutorials. Thank you
awesome! I never thought that GIMP is capable of such powerful editing! Perhaps the best GIMP teacher on TH-cam yet...
Thank you for this excellent and professionally made tutorial. Your way to explain the features of gimp is just so clear and easy to grasp.
I am new to GIMP and never figured out Photo. Shop but so far this is the most helpful beginner tutorial that I have seen.
A very helpful video. Thank you! Great to know what all the tools do, and what the options are, when you move to graphic design and/or photo editing tutorials.
this was the best beginners tutorial on gimp that i could find. Amazing tutorial!
This helped me out a lot when I was making my video thumbnails. Thanks!
Thank you vert much. I have been using gimp for several years, and I was finally learning all the tricks when this version came out. The dark gloominess of it, made me want to splurge for photoshop - lol. Just fixing the icons, has made my day.
Great job. I quickly learned that GIMP is not a tool you can just pick up and figure out on your own very effectively. This was very helpful.
One of the most comprehensive but explained simply tutorials I have ever seen, Thank you
Awesome - thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Thank you so much for all your high-quality tutorials!
A really helpful tutorial - thanks so much for sharing! 😁
Wow, thank you so much. I used to use a super simple program called Digital Image Pro and loved it. It was so easy and did what editing I would ever need. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with Win10. GIMP is way more than I'll ever use and I was overwhelmed after downloading it today. Finding your video gave me hope I may be able to figure out some basic editing again. I like to add text and clone areas out of various shots-- a beautiful shot of the Columbia River just loses something with a garbage can in the foreground - LOL. Now to find a jukebox program to replace MusicMatch would be great and I could get rid of my Win7 computer once and for all.
Cheers and thanks again.
Your video is very helpful. I downloaded it successfully. Thank you!
Very good stuff! I've been a corporate trainer and Instructional Designer for the web for over 30 years, and this is very well done! Kudos, I would recommend (and will) to all my friends.
Wow! I have known about GIMP for years but I never knew it was this powerful until i watched your video! thank you.
These tutorials have been helpful, thank you.
Although I understand nothing about design or photo editing, this guide helps me begin my journey. Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot! I didn't understand gimp before this video and that is why I usually sticked to some light editing but now I can finally try to clean up some images! thanks a bunch :D
The best detailed tutorial EVER searched up a couple of videos and this one by far makes it seem like his actually a teacher omg n only 10 plus mins in will def recommend to others n would actually pay to be taught like dat! I wished I found dis video way eailier🤔👍🏻💯🥺😭😢
Very helpful you clearly know your way around GIMP. Subscribed thanks!
I never had thought that GIMP can be so powerful. I used to think of it as a MS Paint alternative for Linux. Left me quite impressed after this tutorial.
GIMP has certainly come a long way and is now quite powerful. Thanks for watching!
This was a great refresher. Thank you so much.
Very helpful. Thanks for all the time you spent. I've never believed it is that easy to edit images... Not that I became an expert, but now I have the basic idea of many things that can be done :)
this is the most helpful beginner tutorial that I have seen! Many thanks!
Brilliant! Just what I needed. Thanks.
Thank you so much mate! Really well taught and explained
Very helpful crash course. Learned a lot, thank you Davies!
Thanks for the video, easy to understand dont talk to fast shows exactly what what he talks about. This video taught me the basics. Keep up the great diy videos helped me tremendously thank you.
Brilliant!thank you!very long but very useful tutorial!!!
Hi, I've been doing a computer course and opted for extra modules one of which was image editing using gimp. They provide tutorials and such and I've spent 3 weeks just bypassing this module and going for the others as I couldn't seem to take it in accordingly and when trying to do pre-test it showed! So I decided today to search for a tutorial. So far i'm 45 mins in and have completed a few tasks on my little pre-test with no issues! Delighted for people like you who help people like me who cant really learn via reading information. Very well explained and so detailed but not dull and boring. You are my saviour! Real exam on friday!!! :D haha ill be grannnnndddddd :D:D
Just came across your video and will be directing my students to use - no point in reinventing the wheel - thank you
Wonderful tutorial. You are a very good teacher, with a clear and pleasant voice. Truly professional.
I'm a new sub and appreciate that you don't assume that we have prior knowledge.Thank you for your help.
have saved this video and am going through it in parts - just because it has so much info and is perfect to get you started! DEFINITE RECOMMEND
point of 6:10 is wow! actually the entire video is really good. Thank you!
Thank you! This will help me so much!
Best tutorial I have used. Thank you Dave.
This video is SO helpful man, thanks!
Thanks for a great tutorial. Sorted out my problem of deciding which programme to download.
I am new to GIMP and never figured out Photo Shop.... I was so lost when I first downloaded GIMP 2.10.8 and trying to look for videos to help and most were ok, but this one has helped me so much!!!!! Since viewing this one I've watched many more from you guys and you rock!!! IF I can learn from you, anyone can!!!! THANK YOU for all these videos!!!!!!!
Awesome - glad you were able to stumble upon our tutorials and that you found them useful. Thanks for checking the videos out, and I hope you one day master GIMP!
Nice video Dave. I particularly like that you included timestamps down in the description so we could "jump to" subjects of interest.
iive been out there inthe internet lans somce the beginning. you and 1 other made the cut for overall best of the best of overall criteria! you're going places with that talent kid
Great tutorial for beginners. Thanks for posting this.
had almost zero understanding of gimp or photoshop like tools until today, thanks for the great overview buddy.
Making the switch from photoshop to gimp is being made easy this way! Thank you!
Once I adjusted (slowed) the playback speed to 75% I was good! 😄 Great tutor! Finally found one that hits all the bases. Good job.
Thank you ! So helpful !
PERFECT. Too many of these tutorials go so slow that I almost fall asleep. Perfect speed for me. I'm now a subscriber. THANK YOU.
Thanks Dave! Glad you enjoyed the video, and welcome to the channel.
This is such an awesome tutorial. I'm just learning GIMP so this is a great resource. Thanks for doing this!

Very useful tutorial , to start with. Thanks a lot.
Thank you SO MUCH for doing this! I just bought your Udemy course because I know I'll be in good hands to go even more in depth. I appreciate you!
TNice tutorialS WAS SOOOOOO HELPFUL!!
There are many videos on TH-cam of people claiming to know what they are doing and even if they do, they certainly do not know how to deliver the information. You have way exceeded my expectations at initial click of start and I still have yet to finish the whole tutorial! Great informative & valuable video. Worth saving and referring back to. Thank you!
Thank you for nice tutorial.
I'm amateur photographer and never try "big" retouching of my photos. But with GIMP and your tutorial I'll try to change it.
Hope that your tutorials help me with photoediting.
Thank you so much!!!
Excellent! No need to look any further for the best GIMP tutorial.
Superb tutorial, thank you (from one IT training pro to another).
Thanks for spending the effort to provide the comprehensive guide for Gimp !
Thanks for taking the time to watch! Happy you enjoyed it.
