Dialogs

The following is a basic GIMP tutorial about the use of dialogs.

Dialogs

Dialogs are tool windows. I like to keep Layers, Tool Options and Brushes open all the time, though sometimes I also open History (makes it easier to undo things).

This one way to pull up a dialog:

Step One - Click Windows > Dockable Dialogs. Click the dialog you want. It will pop up in a new window, like so.

Step Two - Click on the dialog's bold title and drag it to the dock (the GIMP tool holder). Drop it next to your other dialogs (or in the empty space) and it should move there, like so.

You can also double click a tool on the GIMP toolbox to open a dialog for that function. (However, there are many most tools to choose from by using the above method.)
