Shortcut keys:
b = paths tool
m = move tool
ctrl + , = fill selection using foreground colour
ctrl + . = fill selection using background colour
shift+v = convert path to selection

I love your videos. Very informative. I also love your accent. > _ >;

btw, Inkscape saves files in the SVG file format.

Yeah SVG is kinda the open, industry standard, but some programs use proprietary formats (such as photoshop) that Gimp can't read.

And thanks for the compliments!

can i change a bitmap image to jpeg? how? pls help me. coz i cant upload pictures on a social networking site. somebody pls. help me.

[malgalin]

1. Open the bmp file in the Gimp

2. Click File -> Save As...

3. Re-save the file as a JPEG.

Simply nice, and to be honest even if the topic is boring I always learn something useful from yours tutorials, and I agree keep it up.

[malgalin]

Thanks! Another example of fine commentship - Gimp tutorials must attract a higher class of YouTuber!

:)

Seriously, that was like, the best Gimp tutorial I've ever seen. I've been searching for information on how to do this, and you just explained everything I needed and more. Thank you so much! My life has just been made a lot easier!

What a fantastic idea! Thank you!

[Rummelhart]

As a professional artist, may I compliment your taking time to explain copyright etiquette? Many people really need only to understand. Excellent, as always.

A NATURAL INSTRUCTOR, THANKS

[webs2grow]

Thanks so much. So easy to understand and very helpful. Much appreciated

[wizzlewazzle66]

Ahh nevermind.... it was still showing the path.

[wizzlewazzle66]

Really good tutorial... For some reason once I'm done filling the selection and all that, the edges look really jagged, and they're kind of discolored (almost greenish). What is this?
