The GIMP has a large assortment of tools that let you perform a
18
large variety of tasks. The tools can be thought of as falling
19
into five categories: Selection tools, which specify or modify
20
the portion of the image that will be affected by subsequent
21
actions; Paint tools, which alter the colors in some part of the
22
image; Transform tools, which alter the geometry of the image;
23
Color tools, which alter the distribution of colors across the
24
entire image; and Other tools, which don't fall into the other
28
Most tools can be activated by clicking on an icon in the
29
Toolbox. When this is done, a <guiitem>Tool Options</guiitem>
30
dialog for the activated tool appears below the Toolbox,
31
presenting controls that alter the behavior of the tool. Tools
32
can also be activated using the <guiitem>Tools</guiitem> menu in
33
the menubar located above each image, or by using accelerator
34
keys whose default values can be discovered from the menu. Some
35
tools, such as the Color Tools, can only be accessed using the
36
<guiitem>Tools</guiitem> menu or accelerator keys.
39
The shape of the cursor also changes when it is inside an image,
40
to one that indicates which tool is active.
