大家好：

1. 我不知道是不是有人已翻過GIMP的Tip of the Day。 Anyway, attached file是

一

份中譯本，GIMP的user若有興趣可以抓回去用。 順便給我一些意見。 Rename to and replace your gimp_tips.txt (裏面英文部份還沒去 除，以便網友可以幫我check） 當然您的X-windows 需 support i18n。（GIMP自

己

有自己的gtkrc，裏面的font 要改成 fontset = " ....big5.. , ....iso-....")

2. 在GIMP裏的GTK+ widgets中文的使用都沒有問題，比如，您可以將Layer dialog

內

的第一個Default Layer named " Background"改成 "背景"，跟在win下的中文 Photoshop一樣。 但是 …, 在Script-Fu的Dialog確個個有問題，是否有人有類似的經驗，如何解決？ （我私下猜跟scheme有關？）

3. 我覺得在GTK+ widgets(i18n)使用Big5中文是一件很舒服的事，如果寫widget的

人

照規距做的話。 不過在 GNOME的環境裏這種不照規距自創品牌（自己有自己的

gtkrc,

或根本不用gtkrc) 的widgets倒是不少。 Miguel 最近把GNOME 的white paper擺出來了，可能是收到太多lack of documentation的抗議，其中對CJK最重要的是Owen 寫的 i18n in GTK+，裏面似乎

「暗

示」GTK+的未來發展在Input Method上，不使用XIM protocol。 這點倒是值得注

意。

# This is a list of tips for the GIMP. Every time the GIMP is # started, one tip will be selected from this file and will be # displayed in the "Tip of the day" dialog. # # - Lines starting with '#' are comments. # - Blank lines or comments separate two tips (they are not ignored). # Multiple blank lines are treated as one. If you want to have a # blank line in a tip, put a space or tab in it. # - Text will appear in the dialog as it is in this file. This is # done on purpose in order to have more freedom in the layout of the # tips than with automatic word-wrapping, but this also means that # you have to avoid excessively long lines in this file. # - Tips should be concise: 3 lines or less. # # Tips in this file have been contributed by Zachary Beane, Mo Oishi, # Raphael Quinet, Sven Neumann and other people on the gimp mailing # lists. # # Translate to Big5 coded chinese by Harry C.H. Chou # --------------------------------------------------------------------

# The first tip should be a welcome message, because this is the # first thing that a new user will see. #

# FIXME: re-write this welcome message:

                    Welcome to the GIMP !

Nearly all image operations are performed by right-clicking on the image. And don't worry, you can undo most mistakes...

     　　　　　　歡迎來到 GIMP 的世界！

幾乎所有的影像處理都可以在圖像上以滑鼠的右鍵來開啟操作功能。 但別太擔心，大部份因不小心而犯的錯誤都可以用【undo】來回復。

# Tips for beginners start here #

The GIMP uses layers to let you organize your image. Think of them as a stack of slides or filters, such that looking through them you see a composite of their contents.

GIMP 使用多個圖層來組織您的圖像。 把圖層想像成一疊投影片， 或是一疊有顏色的濾片，如此以這些內容層層疊出整合的圖像。

You can perform many layer operations by right-clicking on the text label of a layer in the Layers dialog (Dialogs->Layers & Channels).

以滑鼠右鍵點選圖層視窗內的圖層名稱能帶出一功能表，讓您能執行 很多不同的圖層功能。

When trying to save files as GIF, XPM, or any other indexed color format, you need to convert the image to indexed using the Image menu.

若想將圖像存成類似GIF/XPM或其它屬於索引色碼的圖檔， 您必需先把圖像以索引的方式轉換好【Image->Indexed】。

You can get the Tool Options menu to open by double-clicking any button in the toolbar.

在工具箱內，您可用滑鼠左鍵雙擊該工具來帶出特殊的工具選項。

You can change the name of a layer by double-clicking on its name in the Layers dialog box.

在圖層顯示視窗內，以滑鼠右鍵雙擊其圖層名稱，便可更改其名稱。

The layer named "Background" is special. You can't add transparency or a layer mask to it. To add transparency, you must first "add alpha" to the layer by right-clicking in the layers dialog and selecting "Add Alpha Channel".

名為"背景"的圖層是比較特殊的。您無法直接加上透明度或圖層遮罩。 若要加上透明度，您必需使用【Add Alpha Channel】這個功能。

When using a drawing tool (Paintbrush, Airbrush, or Pencil), Shift-click will draw a straight line from your last drawing point to your current cursor position.

當使用繪圖工具如（畫筆，噴槍，或鉛筆），以滑鼠配合《Shift》鍵， 可以很方便的從上一個節點連接一條直線到現在的節點。

Most plug-ins work on the current layer of the current image. In some cases, you will have to merge all layers (Layers->Flatten Image) if you want the plug-in to work on the whole image.

大部分的嵌入功能模組都是作用於現在被選擇到的圖像的單一圖層。 但在某些狀況下，您需先整合所有圖層為一(Layers->Flatten Image)， 以便於嵌入的功能模組能作用於整個圖像上。

Most file-formats can't handle layers and for that reason only the active layer is saved. Use XCF, the GIMP's native file format to keep layers, channels and guides when saving.

因為現有大部分的影像檔案格式無法處理多個圖層，所以用來存檔時， 只有預選到的圖層會被存下來。 以GIMP內定的XCF檔案格式來存檔， 則可以保存工作現狀不變。

Not all effects can be applied to all kinds of images. This is indicated by a grayed-out menu-entry. You may need to change the image to RGB, add an alpha-channel or flatten it.

並非所有的影像處理特效都可用在各式的圖像上。 在功能選單上， 當某項功能無法使用時，文字會以淡灰色表示。 但若您還是要用它， 那麼就必需對圖像動一點手腳，例如，把原為黑白的圖像改為彩色， 或加上【alpha-channel】或是把所有的圖層整合為一。

# Tips for intermediate users start here #

The file selection dialog box has command-line completion with Tab, just like the shell. Type part of a filename, hit tab, and voila! It's completed.

在檔案選擇輸入框內有類似【shell】的功能，可以用《Tab》鍵來 完成未打完的檔案名稱。 只要鍵入部份的檔案名稱，按下《Tab》， 一切OK！

You can reassign shortcut keys on any menu by bringing up the menu, selecting a menu item, and pressing the new shortcut key combination. This is dynamic and is saved when you exit GIMP.

您可以重新安排在功能選單上的快速鍵組合。 方法是先用滑鼠 選擇某一功能項，並同時按下新的快速鍵組合。這是動態的設定， 且當離開GIMP時，這個設定將會被儲存下來。

All the old channel operations have been replaced with the more powerful and flexible Layer and Layer Mode operations. They may take getting used to, but they are simply a better way to operate.

所有舊的【channel】功能都被更強大且具更彈性的圖層與圖層模式 功能所取代。 也許得花些時間來熟悉，但這些新功能的確是較好的 操作方法。

You can use the middle mouse button to pan around the image, if it's larger than its display window.

當圖像比其顯示視窗大時，可以滑鼠中鍵抓住圖像在視窗內移動。

Click and drag on a ruler to place a Guide on an image. All dragged selections will snap to the guides. You can remove guides by dragging them off the image with the Move tool.

以滑鼠左鍵點在尺標上而後拖拉到圖像內，可以標示出一條 參考墨線。爾後任何目標選擇的調整都會自動的定格在墨線上。 用移動工具將墨線拖拉到圖像範圍之外便可以去除它。

The GIMP supports gzip compression on the fly. Just add '.gz' (or '.bz2', if you have bzip2 installed) to the filename and your image will be saved compressed. Of course loading compressed images works too.

GIMP在存檔時支援gzip直接壓縮。 只要在檔名加上'.gz'(或'.bz2' ，你必需確定系統已經安裝了bzip2套件），您的圖像便會以壓縮的 形態存起來。 當然您也可以直接打開壓縮圖檔。

Pressing and holding the Shift key before making a selection allows you to add to the current selection instead of replacing it. Using Ctrl before making a selection subtracts from the current one.

當按住《shift》鍵來做目標選擇時，新與舊的目標選擇是加成的。 若以《Ctrl》來做的話，其結果是舊的減去新的部份。

You can press or release the Shift and Ctrl keys while you are making a selection in order to constrain it to a perfect square or circle, or to have it centered on its starting point.

當您要做正圓/正方形的目標選擇或想改由其中心點來操作，此時 您可以《shift》和《Ctrl》鍵來控制。

# Tips for advanced users start here #

You can adjust the selection range for fuzzy select by clicking and dragging left and right.

當用【fuzzy】目標選擇時，您可以用滑鼠左右《clicking-draging》 來調整目標選擇的範圍。

Shift-click on the eye icon in the Layers dialog to hide all layers but that one. Shift-click again to show all layers.

在顯示圖層的視窗內，以《Shift-click》點選某圖層的眼形圖示， 則會只顯示這個圖層而隱藏其他。 但再次《Shift-click》則會顯示 所有的圖層。

Ctrl-click on the layer mask's preview in the Layers dialog toggles the effect of the layer mask.

在顯示圖層的視窗內，以《Ctrl-click》點選圖層遮罩的預覽區， 則會反轉圖層遮罩的效果。

Alt-click on the layer mask's preview in the Layers dialog toggles viewing the mask directly.

在顯示圖層的視窗內，以《Alt-click》點選圖層遮罩的預覽區， 則會改變直接顯示遮罩內容與否。

You can use Alt-Tab to cycle through all layers in an image (if your window manager doesn't trap those keys...).

您可以用《Alt-Tab》來逐層檢視組成圖像的所有圖層。 （得注意您所用的視窗管理程式是否會攔截這個組合鍵）

Shift-click with the Bucket Fill tool to have it use the background color instead of the foreground color.

使用《Bucket Fill》的工具配合《Shift-click》，便可以背景 而非前景顏色來塗抹目標區。

Control-drag with the Transform tool in rotation mode will constrain the rotation to 15 degree angles.

在空間轉換工具的旋轉模式，用《Ctrl-drag》可將旋轉角度 限制在15度內。

You can adjust and re-place a selection by using Alt-drag.

您可以用《Alt-drag》來調整和重置目標選擇。

If your fonts turn out blocky, that's because they're not scalable fonts. Most X servers support scalable Type 1 Postscript fonts. Download and install them.

如果您所用的字形看起來很不平順，那是因為這些字形不能縮放。 大部分的Ｘ伺服器可以支援【Type 1 Postscript】的縮放字形。 下載並安裝這類字形吧。

# FIXME: The next tip should disappear once we have solved the # problems of stale pluginrc files and plug-in directories. # All other files in ~/.gimp can be kept after an upgrade. # In particular, we should try to preserve gimprc. --Raphael

When installing a new version, be sure to delete your ~/.gimp directory first.

當您想安裝新的GIMP版本時，記得先清除在~/.gimp目錄內的個人資料。

Using Edit->Stroke allows you to draw simple squares or circles by painting the edge of your current selection with the active brush. More complex shapes can be drawn with Filters->Render->Gfig.

用【Edit->Stroke】可以讓您在預選好的目標選擇的邊緣上 以預選筆形畫出簡單的方形與圓形。 但較複雜的圖形就得用【Filter->Render->Gfig】這個工具來畫了。

To create a perfect circle, hold Shift while doing an ellipse select. To place a circle precisely, drag horizontal and vertical guides tangent to the circle you want to select, place your cursor at the intersection of the guides, and the resulting selection will just touch the guides.

若想要畫出正圓形，方法是，執行橢圓目標選擇時按住《Shift》鍵。 而要精確的放置在某定點的方法是，利用水平與垂直的參考墨線 正切齊您所選的圓形，將游標放在交叉點上，那麼結果便會如您所願。
