Welcome to my 'World of Tips'. This is where I'll post the tutorials for the program I used in my works. I usually use GIMP 2.6 and Photoscape for my works. So I mostly post about those programs. Feel free to take a look around and I will like to remind all of you that I only post what I understand/ my technique etc. So maybe it'll be different from other tutorials.
Also, my other worlds.
So, now, let's get to know more about the toolbox before we proceed to the 'layer,channel,path,undo history' box.

1A The Rectangle Select Tool (R)
-helps you to choose rectangular region. I usually use this tools when I create e-card. When you choose this tool, you'll see some options in the empty space underneath the tools. You can choose feathery edges, rounded corner etc.
2A. Scissor Select Tool (I)
- Another tool you can use for rendering an image. It choose the shape independently by selecting the region by detecting the edges through colors. It's not really the idea tool thou, cause it'll leave a jagged lines.
3A. Measure Tools (Shift+M)
-I rarely use this tools, but it's a good tool if you need to measure fixed distant between objects in your works.
4A. Scale Tool (Shift+T)
- Scaling tool, XD what else?
5A. Bucket Fill (Shift+B)
- Fill an entire page with your color/pattern selection. Thou, it won't look good if the page had an 'uneven' color region.
6A. Airbrush (A)
- A coloring tools which makes the color looks a bit lighter than paintbrush.
7A. Blur/Sharpen Tool (Shift+U)
- Blur or sharpen a region manually instead of using the filter blur in 'FILTER'. The options is also positioned on the empty space.
1B. Ellipse Select Tool (E)
- You can choose any circular shape with this tools. This also came with feathery edges etc.
2B. Foreground Select Tool.

4B. Shear Tool (Shift+S)
- This is how your image ended up if you used this tool.
5B. Blend Tool (L)

6B. Ink Tool (K)

7B. Smudge Tool (S)

1C. Free Select Tool (F)
-This is the tool that I used for rendering an image, ie this render. 
.
2C. Path tool (B)
- This is the tool you use to create linearts for for artwork or anything.

3C. Align Tool (Q)

4C. Perspective Tool (Shift+P)

Now did that happen??? XD I'll tell you more after this slight introduction!
7C. Dodge/Burn Tool.
-Helps you to create dark/bright region on an image.
And we'll continue these slight intro in part 2.
(Please read intro before asking any questions, thank you.)
Okay, so everyone knows how to do it, big deal. But some also didn't know how to. So, I'll post on how you can open a new file in GIMP 2.6.
I won't write much, don't worry.
First off, choose 'File' and choose 'New...', a box (image 2) will appear and you can adjust the size under the 'image size'. And you can also choose the measurement type in the box with 'pixel' word in it.
Now, you can see the two small picture beside the '640 x 400 pixels', the right image is 'Portrait' and the left one is 'Landscape'. You know what are they for. :D
So, you saw the 'Advanced Options'?
That's where you can choose whether you want an image with foreground/background color, white or even transparent fill.
