formats supported include GIF, JPEG, PNG, XPM, TIFF, TGA, MPEG, PS, PDF, PCX, BMP and many others • Load, display, convert and save to many file formats • Selection tools including rectangle, ellipse, free called GTK+. In addition, 0.99 used a new form of tile-based memory handling that made it possible to load huge images into Gimp (loading a 100 MB image into Gimp is no problem). Version 0.99 also introduced Flip segments F Load from left neighbor’s right endpoint Ctrl + L Replicate segment M Blend endpoints’ colors B Load from right endpoint Alt + L Blend endpoints’ opacity Ctrl + B Load from FG color Ctrl

uses scanline reading instead. • PSD support improvements: PSD support improvements PSD files now load faster mostly by elim- inating excessive copies between the original file and the project representation For large PSD files, the loading is now ~1.5 to ~2 times faster. Moreover, GIMP is now capable of load- ing CMYK(A) PSD files (only 8-bit per channel for now). It does so by converting pixels to RGB(A) not load patterns, gradients, palettes, or brushes. Often useful in non-interactive situ- ations where start-up time is to be minimized. -f, --no-fonts Do not load any fonts. This is useful to load GIMP

Patterns can now be any supported GtkPixbuf format, including png, jpeg, xbm and others. • GIMP can load gradients from SVG files, and palettes from ACT and RIFF files. • Drag-and-drop support has been version of GIMP being used, and exit. --verbose Show detailed startup messages. -d, --no-data Do not load patterns, gradients, palettes, or brushes. Often useful in non-interactive situations where startup GIMP This chapter is about getting images into GIMP. It explains how to create new images, how to load images from files, how to scan them and how to make screenshots. But in the first place we want to

Patterns can now be any supported GtkPixbuf format, including png, jpeg, xbm and others. • GIMP can load gradients from SVG files, and palettes from ACT and RIFF files. • Drag-and-drop support has been Some digital cameras can produce image files with a depth of 16 bits per color channel. Gimp cannot load such a file without losing resolution. In most cases the effects are too subtle to be detected by ellipses, regular polygons, etc. GIMP 2.0 cannot do anything with these entities, but GIMP 2.2 can load them as paths. Creating paths is not the only thing GIMP can do with SVG files. It can also open
