I'm new to GIMP. I installed Version 2.8.4 on my Mac mini (with standard Windows keyboard). The very first thing I'm playing with is the Clone Tool. There's a dearth of information on how to use this tool, but the few scraps I found suggest that all I need to do is press CTRL and use the mouse to select an area to clone. However, every time I do this, I bring up a context menu (File; Edit; Select; View; Image; Layer; Color; etc.). The cursor consists of a stamp, crossed-out circle, and dotted circle (representing the brush).
I've tried everything I can think of, but I am absolutely puzzled by this. It is so unintuitive and opaque. What can possibly be wrong??? Maybe I should uninstall this software and look for something less opaque. Right off the bat, the program shouldn't be so difficult to get started in... -- horrido (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
