The Gimp Help System
The GIMP Documentation Team and other users have provided you with the information necessary to understand how to use GIMP. The User Manual is an important part of this help. The current version is on the web site of the Documentation Team in HTML format. The HTML version is also available as context sensitive help (if you installed it) while using GIMP by pressing the F1 key. Help on specific menu items can be accessed by pressing the F1 key while the mouse pointer is focused on the menu item. Read on to begin your GIMP journey.
The context sensitive help (Shift F1) is great for the novice user. Just line up the cursor/question mark over the item on the Gimp window that you need help on and click. it will open up the Gimp user manual right on the information you need to better understand how Gimp works. ~gJ
