    Since this is for "newbies", which I am, they have to know that they either have to create or open a file before you can try the tools, such as text. I d/l GIMP and tired to follow your video. Couldn't understand why I couldn't open the text box, until I realized you were working with a file already open. Once I clicked on NEW under the file menu and started a new "image" then I could use the tools. Very helpful and informative video - thank you for taking the time to produce it !

      Sorry, but you're wrong he clearly showed how to open a file at 10:08. I've been in multimedia for 14 years, my advice; always watch the tutorial completely before watching it a second time to follow along. If you're doing something for the first time it's always a good idea knowing what you're getting into and with this being a video (that's not going anywhere) there's no need to be impatient.

Can I please ask, I have a photo of my Sister who sadly passed and I want to take the image of her out of the photo she is in and add her image onto a photo I have with my daughter who sadly never met her, but I would love to have a picture of them both together.

    "GIMP is a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image manipulation and image editing, free-form drawing, transcoding between different image file formats, and more specialized tasks"
    The above text has been taken from WIKIPEDIA™, but I love it because IT IS HONEST. GIMP is a tool to manipulate images, so, when you are o photographer that is a tool to lie, (and you know it) so why pay a monthly fee to lie?

      I was just struggling with the same problem. I assume you've figured it out by now, but if not: got to edit > preferences > interface > toolbox and you can drag the tools out of their groups (by dragging them up) so they show up separately in the toolbox instead of under a group. You can then click on the eye next to each (empty) group to avoid having blank spaces in your toolbox.
