14.1 Introduction to Menus
Figure 14.1: The Toolbox Menu
There are many places in GIMP where you can find menus. The aim of this chapter is to explain all the commands that are
accessible from the menus in the Toolbox and Image windows. All the context menus and the menu entries for the other dialogs
are described elsewhere in the chapters that describe the dialogs themselves.
14.1.1 Context Menus
If you right-click on certain parts of the GIMP interface, a ‘context menu’ opens, which leads to a variety of functions. Some
places where you can access context menus are:
• Clicking on an image window displays the Image menu. This is useful when you are working in full-screen mode, without a
menubar.
• Clicking on a layer in the Layers Dialog or on a channel in the Channels Dialog displays functions for the selected layer or
channel.
• Right-clicking on the image menubar has the same effect as left-clicking.
• Right-clicking on the title bar displays functions which do not belong to GIMP, but to the window manager program on your
computer.
