GIMP Tips
UI tips
- Tab hides the toolboxes
- Use middle mouse to pan - this lets you 'overshoot' the edge of the image, and the scrollbars don't.
- When editing gradients, you can click and drag from the colour swatches (not from the palette itself, but from e.g. the boxes showing the selected colours) into the gradient
