I don't mean to sound rude but you didn't even start cutting up to the 3 minute mark. sorry but it's just soooo much small,l talk and it took a whole 45 seconds to do.

@AmyInPittsburgh You don't sound rude.

Malgalin, I have found your tutorials priceless!..thank you.

Perhaps you can help me though?

When i click on an image to "edit with Gimp", it doesn't open the section to the right hand side of the image, as you have in this part.

It only opens the image itself, and the toolbox on the left of the screen.

I did have it at one time, so have i deleted it in some way? and can i retrieve it?

Many many thanks.

@rockinbillyboy Do you mean the layers dialog? ctrl+L

[malgalin]

@annah7414 Ok...just make sure you actually follow their instructions and you'll be fine :)

@annah7414 that doesn't mean the actual tutorial was incorrect.

@AmyInPittsburgh Actually you do sound rude and remember nobody is making you watch just close it if your that impatient. The video was great!
