  • New image files are created using File/New.
  • The Scale tool is used to modify the size of an image.
  • Images can be cropped using the Crop tool.
  • Multiple image files can be opened in GIMP using File/Open.
  • The Text tool (Text A) allows users to modify font color, size, and style.
  • An image source can be partially or wholly merged into a target image by selecting the source image, performing necessary edits, and copying the source image into the target, adjusting size and position as needed.
  • Images can be rotated in GIMP using the Rotate tool or by pressing SHIFT + R.
  • The Image / Autocrop Image function removes excess parts from a rotated image while keeping the main part.
  • To copy an image source as a new layer in the target image, one must select the target file, select a layer, and use the Edit/Paste command. This creates a floating selection layer to contain the copied image.

Understanding GIMP Software (False Statements)

  • It is false to say that GIMP cannot merge images, as it provides tools for image composition.
  • It is false to suggest that GIMP does not have the ability to render a background with a single color or a gradient, it supports graphic design tools like text creation, coloring, and transformation.
