DESCRIPTION
       GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is used to edit and manipulate images. It can load and save  a  variety  of  image
       formats and can be used to convert between formats.

       GIMP  can  also  be used as a paint program. It features a set of drawing and painting tools such as airbrush, clone, pencil, and
       paint brush. Painting and drawing tools can be applied to an image with a variety of paint modes.  It also  offers  an  extensive
       array of selection tools like rectangle, ellipse, fuzzy select, bezier select, intelligent scissors, and select by color.

       GIMP offers a variety of plug-ins that perform a variety of image manipulations.  Examples include bumpmap, edge detect, gaussian
       blur, and many others. In addition, GIMP has several scripting extensions which allow for advanced non-interactive processing and
       creation of images.

       GIMP ships with a second binary called gimp-console. This binary is a console-only version and behaves as if gimp was called with
       the --no-interface command-line option.

       On platforms with the D-Bus message bus system, GIMP will by default check if an instance is already running in  this  user  ses‐
       sion. If it detects that, it will pass all filenames given on the command-line to the already running GIMP instance and quit.

OPTIONS
       GIMP accepts the following options:

       -h, --help
               Show GIMP command-line options.

       --help-all
               Show all command-line options.

       --help-gtk
               Show GTK+ command-line options.

       --help-gegl
               Show GEGL command-line options.

       -v, --version
               Output version information and exit. When combined with the --verbose option, version information about libraries used by
               GIMP is shown as well.

       --license
               Output license information and exit.

       --verbose
               Be verbose and create information on standard output.

       -n, --new-instance
               Do not attempt to reuse an already running GIMP instance. Always start a new one.

       -a, --as-new
               Open filenames passed on the command-line as new images, don't set the filename on them.

       -i, --no-interface
               Run without a user interface.

       -d, --no-data
               Do not load patterns, gradients, palettes, or brushes. Often useful in non-interactive situations where startup  time  is
               to be minimized.

       -f, --no-fonts
               Do not load any fonts. No text functionality will be available if this option is used.

       --display display
               Use the designated X display.

       -s, --no-splash
               Do not show the splash screen.

       --no-shm
               Do  not  use  shared  memory  between GIMP and its plug-ins.  Instead of using shared memory, GIMP will send the data via
               pipe. This will result in slower performance than using shared memory.

       --no-cpu-accel
               Do not use CPU accelerations such as MMX or SSE even if GIMP detects that your CPU provides this functionality.

       --session <name>
               Use a different sessionrc for this GIMP session. The given session name is appended to the default sessionrc filename.

       -g, --gimprc <gimprc>
               Use an alternative gimprc instead of the default one. Useful in cases where plug-in paths or machine specs may be differ‐
               ent.

       --system-gimprc <gimprc>
               Use an alternate system gimprc file.

       --dump-gimprc
               Output a gimprc file with default settings.

       --debug-handlers
               Enable debugging signal handlers.

       -c, --console-messages
               Do not popup dialog boxes on errors or warnings. Print the messages on the console instead.

       --stack-trace-mode {never|query|always}
               If a stack-trace should be generated in case of fatal signals.

       --pdb-compat-mode {off|on|warn}
               If the PDB should provide aliases for deprecated functions.

       --batch-interpreter <procedure>
               Specifies the procedure to use to process batch events. The default is to let Script-Fu evaluate the commands.

       -b, --batch <command>
               Execute  <command> non-interactively. This option may appear multiple times.  The <command> is passed to the batch inter‐
               preter. When <command> is - the commands are read from standard input.

ENVIRONMENT
       GIMP respects a number of environment variables.

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       GIMP2_DIRECTORY
               to get the name of the personal GIMP directory. If unset $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10 is used.   If  this  is  an  absolute
               path, it is used as is.  If it is a relative path, it is taken to be a subdirectory of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

       GIMP2_DATADIR
               to get the base location for data files such as brushes and patterns.  If unset ${datarootdir}/gimp/2.0 is used.

       GIMP2_LOCALEDIR
               to get the base location for translations. If unset ${datarootdir}/locale is used.

       GIMP2_PLUGINDIR
               to get the base location for plug-ins and modules. If unset /usr/lib/gimp/2.0 is used.

       GIMP2_SYSCONFDIR
               to get the location of configuration files. If unset /etc/gimp/2.0 is used.

               On  Linux  GIMP can be compiled with support for binary relocatibility.  This will cause data, plug-ins and configuration
               files to be searched relative to the location of the gimp executable file unless overridden by the environment  variables
               mentioned above.

FILES
       GIMP's  data  files  are  stored in ${datarootdir}/gimp/2.0, where ${datarootdir} is set on install, but is typically /usr/share.
       GIMP's system-wide configuration files are stored in /etc/gimp/2.0, where ${prefix} is typically /usr.

       Most GIMP configuration is read in from the user's init file, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/gimprc. The system wide equivalent is in
       /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc.   The  system  wide  file  is  parsed  first  and  the  user  gimprc  can  override  the  system  settings.
       /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc_user is the default gimprc placed in users' home directories the first time GIMP is run.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/devicerc - holds settings for input devices together with the tool, colors, brush, pattern and  gradi‐
       ent associated to that device.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/gtkrc  - users set of GIMP-specific GTK+ config settings. Options such as widget color and fonts sizes
       can be set here.

       /etc/gimp/2.0/gtkrc - system wide default set of GIMP-specific GTK+ config settings.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/menurc - user's set of keybindings.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/parasiterc - Stores all persistent GIMP parasites. This file will be rewritten  every  time  you  quit
       GIMP.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/sessionrc  -  This  file  takes session-specific info (that is info, you want to keep between two GIMP
       sessions). You are not supposed to edit it manually, but of course you can do. This file will be entirely  rewritten  every  time
       you quit GIMP. If this file isn't found, defaults are used.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/templaterc  -  Image  templates  are kept in this file. New images can conveniently created from these
       templates. If this file isn't found, defaults are used.

       /etc/gimp/2.0/unitrc - default user unit database. It contains the unit definitions for centimeters, meters, feet,  yards,  typo‐
       graphic  points  and  typographic  picas  and  is placed in users home directories the first time GIMP is ran. If this file isn't
       found, defaults are used.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/unitrc - This file contains your user unit database. You can modify this list with  the  unit  editor.
       You  are  not  supposed  to edit it manually, but of course you can do.  This file will be entirely rewritten every time you quit
       GIMP.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins - location of user installed plug-ins.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/pluginrc - plug-in initialization values are stored here. This file is parsed on startup and  regener‐
       ated if need be.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/modules - location of user installed modules.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/tmp - default location that GIMP uses as temporary space.

       ${datarootdir}/gimp/2.0/brushes - system wide brush files.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/brushes  - user created and installed brush files. These files are in the .gbr, .gih or .vbr file for‐
       mats.

SPLASH IMAGES
       GIMP comes with a default image for the splash screen but it allows system administrators  and  users  to  customize  the  splash
       screen by providing other images. The image to be used with the splash screen is chosen as follows:

       1.     GIMP tries to load a random splash screen from the directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/splashes.

       2.     It then falls back to using $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/GIMP/2.10/gimp-splash.png.

       3.     If the user didn't install any custom splash images, a random image is picked from ${datarootdir}/gimp/2.0/splashes.

       4.     As a last resort, GIMP uses the default splash image located at ${datarootdir}/gimp/2.0/images/gimp-splash.png.

SUGGESTIONS AND BUG REPORTS
       Any   bugs   found   should   be   reported   to   the   online   bug-tracking  system  available  on  the  web  at  https://git‐
       lab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues. Before reporting bugs, please check to see if the bug has already been reported.

       When reporting GIMP bugs, it is important to include a reliable way to reproduce the bug, version number of  GIMP  (and  probably
       GTK+),  OS name and version, and any relevant hardware specs. If a bug is causing a crash, it is very useful if a stack trace can
       be provided. And of course, patches to rectify the bug are even better.

OTHER INFO
       The canonical place to find GIMP info is at https://www.gimp.org/.  Here you can find links to just about many other GIMP  sites,
       tutorials, data sets, mailing list archives, and more.

       There is also a GIMP User Manual available at https://docs.gimp.org/ that goes into much more detail about the interactive use of
       GIMP.
