Tools groups are marked with a small dark triangle at the bottom right corner of the icon. The group icon displayed is the first icon in the group. Right click on the group icon to display the list of tools in the group. You can get the former display back unchecking the Use tool groups option in Section 1. The default order of tools in the toolbox is different since GIMP Most tools can be activated by clicking on an icon in the Toolbox.
Every tool, in fact, can be activated from the Tools menu; also, every tool can be activated from the keyboard using an accelerator key. In the default setup, created when GIMP is first installed, not all tools show icons in the Toolbox: the Color tools are omitted.
There are two reasons you might want to do this: first, if you only rarely use a tool, it might be easier to find the tools you want if the distracting icon is removed; second, if you use the Color tools a lot, you might find it convenient to have icons for them easily available. In any case, regardless of the Toolbox, you can always access any tool at any time using the Tools menu from an image menubar. Figure Color and Indicator Area in the Toolbox.
This area shows GIMP's basic palette, consisting of two colors, the Foreground and Background, used for painting, filling, and many other operations. Clicking on either of the color displays brings up a Color Editor dialog, which permits you to change it. Clicking on this small symbol resets the Foreground and Background colors to black and white, respectively.
Pressing the D key has the same effect. Clicking on the small curved line with two arrowheads causes the Foreground and Background colors to be swapped. Pressing the X key has the same effect. You can click-and-drag one of these colors directly into a layer: it will fill the whole layer. Active Brush, Pattern and Gradient in the Toolbox.
This part of the Toolbox shows the currently selected brush, pattern, and gradient. Clicking on any of them brings up a dialog that allows you to change it. You can also click and drag this thumbnail to an enabled XDS [9] file manager to directly save the corresponding image.
If you have things set up like most people do, activating a tool causes its Tool Options dialog to appear below the Toolbox. If you don't have things set up this way, you probably should: it is very difficult to use tools effectively without being able to manipulate their options. The Tool Options appear beneath the Toolbox in the default setup. See the section on Dialogs and Docking if you need help. Each tool has its own specific set of options. The choices you make for them are kept throughout the session, until you change them.
In fact, the tool options are maintained from session to session. The persistence of tool options across sessions can sometimes be an annoying nuisance: a tool behaves very strangely, and you can't figure out why until you remember that you were using some unusual option the last time you worked with it, two weeks ago. This button allows you to save the settings for the current tool, so that you can restore them later.
It brings up the Section 5. When you Restore options, only saved presets for the active tool are shown, so you need not worry about including the name of the tool when you assign a name here. This button allows you to restore a previously saved preset of options for the active tool. If no presets have ever been saved for the active tool, the button will be insensitive. Otherwise, clicking it will bring up a menu showing the names of all saved option sets: choosing a menu entry will apply those settings.
This button allows you to delete a previously saved set of options for the active tool. If no option-sets have ever been saved for the active tool, the button will simply repeat the tool name. Otherwise, clicking it will bring up a menu showing the names of all saved presets: the selected preset will be deleted. This button resets the options for the active tool to their default values.
Option sliders have changed with GIMP You can use multiple modifiers with either left-click or mouse wheel scrolling:. Once you have set the value approximately, you can tune it precisely using the two small arrow buttons at the right of the slider. The value area in the slider area works as a text editor: there, you can edit the value or enter a new value directly. For some options, you can drag the pointer outside the tool dialog. Now go to your gradient layer, and when you take the blend tool for editing your drawn grading, you will enable to do that.
In place of editing, it will draw a new gradient like this. Or you can go on the Windows menu, then one Dockable Dialogs option and chose the Gradients option from the scroll-down list. Now you will have different presets of gradient here.
Just select any one of them and click on the Duplicate button for duplicating it for your use. Now after setting colors, you can redraw the gradient on your layer. I will suggest you choose proper colors for your gradients during blending work so there will be less need for editing in the future.
Now choose this gradient which is FG to BG, and make sure there is black as the foreground color and white as the background color in the color box. Then draw the gradient on the layer mask, and you will get this type of blend effect of these two layers.
Adjust gradient according to you for more effective image blending work. Now you have good knowledge of blending tools along with command on different manipulation parameters of it.
You can also edit your gradient after going through this article and use it in your image manipulation work by going through different shapes and parameters of the gradient of the blend tool.
