Para muchos, I-GIMP enye indlela ekhethwayo uma kukhulunywa nge isoftware yokuhlela isithombe efana ne-Photoshop. Luhlelo lwamahhala oluphelele futhi iqiniso ukuthi lifaka amathuluzi amaningi nemisebenzi evumela imiphumela esezingeni eliphakeme ngezinyathelo ezimbalwa nje. Isibonelo, ngezansi sizobona ukuthi singawengeza kanjani umphumela wesithunzi ezithombeni noma ngisho nasekubhaleni futhi sakhe inkohliso ekhangayo enezinhlangothi ezintathu.
Okokuqala, kufanele sivule isithombe esifuna ukufaka kuso umthelela wesithunzi noma, uma kunesidingo, sakhe idokhumenti yobukhulu obudingekayo, uma sizosebenza ngombhalo.
Uma sesilayishe isithombe ku-GIMP, okulandelayo kulula impela, kepha kuya ngalokho esifuna ukukwenza ukwenza izinyathelo ezingeziwe kungadingeka.
Uma sifuna kuphela ukufihla isithombe ngenkathi sigcina isizinda saso, kufanele nje siye kumenyu ye- "Filters", bese uchofoza ku- "Lights and shadows" futhi ekugcineni "Drop shadow".
Etafuleni eliboniswe ngezansi sizoba namanani amaningana wokumiswa ahlobene nokususwa kwesithunzi ku-X noma ku-Y, ngaphezu kwe-blur radius, umbala wethunzi nokukhanya kwaso.
Lawa manani afinyelela kumsebenzisi, noma kunjalo kunconywa ukuthi amanani we-offset ku-X naku-Y afane noma okungenani angahluke kangako, ngenkathi i-opacity ne-radius ingahlala ingashintshiwe.
Lapho nje ukulungiswa okuhambisanayo sekwenziwe, kufanele sichofoze ku- "KULUNGILE" ukufaka isithunzi emfanekisweni wethu.
Futhi singasusa ingemuva lesithombe bese sisebenzisa umphumela wesithunzi ohlakeni lwaso bese kamuva silondolozwa njengesithombe se-PNG.
