Introduction
Pictures are as it were, the focal point of GIMP. Describe what a picture is accurate, is not that easy. On one side are pictures of what a particular format such as JPEG or TIFF file is stored in a in. On the other hand, it is the content, with the GIMP image window can be processed in one. It may be several per image image window in GIMP to give. Pro Image Window may only be one image and processed are presented. Images are if you have GIMP open, from a number of elements. There are selections, layers, channels, masks and so on. If you get a picture in GIMP a painted sheet of paper thought of as, you are only a small fraction of the features of GIMP and can use to understand. Better yet, the comparison with a thick stack of transparencies. Some are colored, some transparent, and all the resulting superimposed image. These individual sheets or masks can be combined channels and levels to be. That sounds may be all terribly complicated, but it is one of the most important concepts in GIMP. Therefore, you had the more detailed description in section 1, "Construction of images in GIMP" highly recommended for reading. In GIMP it is quite possible, even many images at once open to have even more. Large images can require many megabytes of memory, but GIMP uses a sophisticated tile-based memory management to cope with vast amounts of data as well. Nevertheless, there are limits, of course, more memory and can certainly improve the system performance.
