==Tips==
 
:☐ GIMP's native file format uses the file extension .xcf.
 
 
 
:☐ Use math to change dimensions: for example, type  <code>*2</code>  after a dimension to double it.
 
 
 
:☐ Give your Layers and Layer Groups useful names (Also important in other programs, too.)
 
 
 
:☐ Context menus are used throughout GIMP, of course (right click, or two-finger press on a trackpad.)
 
 
 
:☐ Edit and customize keyboard shortcuts.
 
 
 
: ☐ GIMP supports non-destructive image manipulations via "filters".
 
 
 
:☐ GIMP supports image manipulations via scripting (Python, and others.)
 
 
 
: ☐ Very extensive list of supported file formats (both Import and Export.)
 
 
 
: ☐ Does not (yet) have real-time collaborative features.
 
 
 
:☐ Consider following the "Tip of the Day" (under the Help menu.)
 
 
 
==Training==
 
:Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) does not currently offer any training classes on GIMP.
 
:To ask questions or potentially meet other users, use our Slack channel #computing.
