In this time I introduce my pixelart-ready-efficient-gimp-setup<\/strong>!!<\/p>\n

\"gimp-setup\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Toolbox alignament<\/strong><\/p>\n

To do my ugly pixelart I only need some draw\/selection tools, layers, color palletes, and a action history. Because of that, I remove every toolbox and I add one by one!<\/p>\n

In the left I put the color pallete editor. Also, I can select the colors from here.
\n In the right-top I put the undo history (without buttons).
\n In the right-bottom I put the layer toolbar.<\/p>\n

Also, I don’t like having too much windows spreaded in the screen, so I prefered the single window mode (seted in Windows\/Single-Window Mode).<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Shortcuts and tools<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really hate using the mouse or presing imposible keybindings to use some tools! Thats why I make my own shortcut scheme (editable in Edit\/Preferences\/Interface\/Configure Keyboard Shortcuts)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Resumed Key Layout:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • numbers<\/strong> – tool selection<\/li>\n
  • qwert…<\/strong> – undo\/redo\/etc<\/li>\n
  • adsf…<\/strong> – cut\/copy\/paste\/etc<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n

    Because the only things that I do are: Pencil, Erase, Rect-Select, Magic-Select, Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste… I do the following bindings:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 1:<\/strong> pencil<\/li>\n
    • 2:\u00a0<\/strong> erase<\/li>\n
    • 3:<\/strong> rectangle select<\/li>\n
    • 4:<\/strong> fuzzy select<\/li>\n
    • w: undo<\/li>\n
    • e:<\/strong> redo<\/li>\n
    • a: <\/strong>cut<\/li>\n
    • d:<\/strong> copy<\/li>\n
    • s:<\/strong> paste<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n

      If you have some time, tryit! It’s really confortable \":)\"<\/p>\n

      \n

      Preferences details<\/strong><\/p>\n

      To improve a few more the behaviour, I setup a few more options:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Pencil – size: 1 (1px draw)<\/em><\/li>\n
      • Erase – size: 1 (1px draw)<\/em><\/li>\n
      • Erase – hard edge (dont do interpolation, erase only 1px!)<\/em><\/li>\n
      • Preferences\/Default grid – spacing: 1px x 1px<\/em><\/li>\n
      • Preferences\/Default image – fill with: transparency<\/em><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n
        \n

        That’s all folks! I hope that this info were useless, and that my english use was fine \":)\"<\/p>\n

        Free software for all \":)\"<\/p>","time":"April 24th, 2014 10:03 pm","title":"Hey you, GIMP: Be efficient!!"}
