[Gimp-user] Felicitations...

2012-03-19 Thread Robert Bruyns

Dear GIMP development team and others,

I must express my heartiest admiration and warmest felicitations for your 
awesome software and interface. I've been using it on a el cheapo XP SP3 
laptop for the past six months - this being a simply hobby I started since 
retiring.


Although I'm sure I'm only using a small part of a exciting potential, my 
results (sans blushes) exceed the abilities of many of those formally 
trained in graphics technology. I know this 'cos I was involved for many 
years (as owner of a small chain of photocopying and printing facilities 
within the tourism industry) on the periphery of professional users of the 
Photoshop and the CorelDraw series. The only personal previous experience I've 
had was playing around with the PS cloning tool for an afternoon many years 
ago.


There are, of course, changes I'd like to see such as moving the 
magnification facility from the bottom of the image to the top. I'm also 
sure there is a way of doing this but I'm seriously unskilled in the art of 
customization (as suggested by yourselves) and it's no real biggie so let it 
lay.


All I need say to y'all is well done - very well done indeed!

Sincerely,
Robert

The first thing I do upon firing up GIMP for the first time:

Open Edit-Keyboard Shortcuts.

Expand the 'View' list.

Scroll down to 'Zoom In' (view-zoom-in), click it.

Press the = key (this is next to the minus key on my keyboard, along
the top row of numbers).

Press 'Close' button on the dialog.

After that I can use the -/= keys at the top of the keyboard to zoom
in/out, and also the -/+ keys on the number pad to the right.  Without
the steps above the number pad works, but using the keys at the top,
you must use SHIFT-= to zoom in and - to zoom out.

HTH,
Chris

Hey Chris,

By default, you can also use Control+mouse wheel to zoom in and
out.  That's my favorite...

:o)
