Home - Linux - Gimp - GUI Tips

Loading files quickly
Use gimp-remote. This will load a file into a previously running gimp. If there is no gimp running it will start a new one if you use -n
eg

bash-2.05$ gimp-remote -n hsparks.gih 
Note that if no gimp is running the gimp-remote doesn't exit (until gimp exits).

Drawing a curve
Create a new image. Click on the curve tool (top right). Press Ctrl-L to get layers dialog. Click on the Path Tab. Now make your curve ... then click the O button .. (Stroke Path). This uses the current brush, so you can get cool effects by changing the brush, and by changing the "Spacing" which is in the brushes window (double click on the brush on the main window to get the popup).
