#
# This is a list of tips for the GIMP.  Every time the GIMP is
# started, one tip will be selected from this file and will be
# displayed in the "Tip of the day" dialog.
#
# - Lines starting with '#' are comments.
# - Blank lines or comments separate two tips (they are not ignored).
#   Multiple blank lines are treated as one.  If you want to have a
#   blank line in a tip, put a space or tab in it.
# - Text will appear in the dialog as it is in this file.  This is
#   done on purpose in order to have more freedom in the layout of the
#   tips than with automatic word-wrapping, but this also means that
#   you have to avoid excessively long lines in this file.
# - Tips should be concise: 3 lines or less.
# - Advice for translators to other languages: keep the original tips
#   as comments before the translated tips.  It will be easier for
#   other people to check for changes or additions.
#
# Tips in this file have been contributed by Zachary Beane, Mo Oishi,
# Raphael Quinet, Sven Neumann, Carey Bunks and other people on the
# gimp mailing lists and newsgroup (comp.graphics.apps.gimp).
#
# --------------------------------------------------------------------

# The first tip should be a welcome message, because this is the
# first thing that a new user will see.
#
#                            Welcome to the GIMP !
#      
#Nearly all image operations are performed by right-clicking
#on the image.  And don't worry, you can undo most mistakes...    

                歡迎來到 GIMP 的世界！
  
幾乎所有的圖像處理都可以在圖像上按下滑鼠的右鍵來進行。
別太擔心，大部份的錯誤都是可以復原的。

# Tips for beginners start here
# (for people who are not familiar yet with layers and image formats)
#

#You can get context-sensitive help for most of the GIMP's features by
#pressing the F1 key at any time.  This also works inside the menus.

你可以在任何時候按下 F1 來瀏覽有關的 GIMP 功能說明。
即使在選單中也同樣適用。

#The GIMP uses layers to let you organize your image.  Think of them
#as a stack of slides or filters, such that looking through them you
#see a composite of their contents.

GIMP 使用圖層來組織圖像。把圖層想像成一疊投影片或濾鏡，
將它們重疊可以看到整合後的內容。

#You can perform many layer operations by right-clicking on the text
#label of a layer in the "Layers, Channels and Paths" dialog

在「圖層、色版及路徑」對話窗中，在圖層名稱上按下滑鼠
右鍵，可以執行很多不同的圖層功能。

#When you save an image to work on it again later, try using XCF,
#the GIMP's native file format (use the file extension ".xcf").
#This preserves the layers and every aspect of your work-in-progress.
#Once a project is completed, you can save it as JPEG, PNG, GIF, ...

當你儲存一個將來可能會再修改的圖像，可試試使用 XCF，
即 GIMP 內定使用的圖像格式（延伸檔名為 ".xcf"）。
這樣會保留所有圖層及任何圖像的細節。圖像完成後，
你可以將圖像另存為 JPEG、PNG、GIF 等等...

#The layer named "Background" is special because it lacks transparency.
#This prevents you from adding a layer mask or moving the layer up in
#the stack.  You may add transparency to it by right-clicking in the
#"Layers, Channels and Paths" dialog and selecting "Add Alpha Channel".

圖層中稱為「背景」的一個是比較特殊的，因為它沒有透明度。
這樣會妨礙你加上圖層遮罩或將圖層移至堆疊較高的位置。你
可以在「圖層、色版及路徑」對話窗中按滑鼠右鍵並選擇
「新增透明色版」來替它加上透明度。

#Most plug-ins work on the current layer of the current image.  In
#some cases, you will have to merge all layers (Layers->Flatten Image)
#if you want the plug-in to work on the whole image.

絕大多數的增效模組只作用於使用中的圖像目前的圖層。
在某些情況下，如果你必須先合併所有圖層（圖層→平面
化圖像），以便增效模組作用於整個圖像。

#Not all effects can be applied to all kinds of images.  This is
#indicated by a grayed-out menu-entry.  You may need to change
#the image mode to RGB (Image->Mode->RGB), add an alpha-channel
#(Layers->Add Alpha Channel) or flatten it (Layers->Flatten Image).

並非所有效果都適用於各式的圖像。當某項功能無法使用時，
選單的文字會以淺灰色表示。如果仍需要該功能，你可能需要
將圖像的色系轉為 RGB（圖像→模式→RGB）、加入透明色版
（圖層→新增透明色版）或是將它平面化（圖層→平面化圖像）。

# Tips for intermediate users start here
#

#You can drag and drop many things in the GIMP.  For example, dragging
#a color from the toolbox or from a color palette and dropping it into
#an image will fill the current image or selection with that color.

GIMP 裡面很多東西都是可以拖曳的。舉個例子，由工具箱
或色盤裡拖曳一種顏色出來並放到圖像上面會將目前的圖像
或選擇區域填滿該種顏色。

#When using a drawing tool (Paintbrush, Airbrush, or Pencil),
#Shift-click will draw a straight line from your last drawing
#point to your current cursor position.  If you also press Ctrl,
#the line will be constrained to 15 degree angles.

當使用繪圖工具（畫筆、噴槍或鉛筆）時，按 Shift 鍵再按
滑鼠鍵會由上一點繪畫一條直線到目前的位置。若再按 Ctrl
鍵，線條的角度會限制為 15°的倍數。

#The file selection dialog box has command-line completion with
#Tab, just like the shell.  Type part of a filename, hit tab, and voila!
#It's completed.

在檔案選擇對話窗內有類似命令殼的指令自動補齊功能。
只要鍵入部份的檔案名稱，按下 Tab，一切 OK！

#You can reassign shortcut keys on any menu by bringing up the menu,
#selecting a menu item, and pressing the new shortcut key combination.
#This is dynamic and is saved when you exit GIMP.

你可以重新安排選單上的快速鍵組合。 方法是先用滑鼠
選擇選單某一項目，並同時按下新的快速鍵組合。這是
動態的設定，會在離開 GIMP 時被儲存下來。

#You can use the middle mouse button to pan around
#the image, if it's larger than its display window.

當圖像比其顯示視窗大時，可以滑鼠中鍵抓住圖像
在視窗內移動。

#Click and drag on a ruler to place a Guide on an image.  All
#dragged selections will snap to the guides.  You can remove
#guides by dragging them off the image with the Move tool.

在尺標上按下滑鼠左鍵並拖曳到圖像內，就可以標示參考線。
以後任何拖曳的選擇區域都會自動攝引到參考線上。用移動
工具將參考線拖曳到圖像範圍之外便可以去除它。

#You can drag a layer from the "Layers, Channels and Paths" dialog
#and drop it onto the toolbox.  This will create a new image
#containing only that layer.

你可以在「圖層、色版及路徑」對話窗中拖曳一個圖層並
將之放進工具箱內。這樣會建立一個只含有該圖層的新圖像。

#A Floating Selection must be anchored to a new layer or to the last
#active layer before doing other operations on the image.  Click on the
#New Layer or Anchor Layer buttons in the "Layers, Channels and Paths"
#dialog, or use the menus to do the same.

對圖像進行任何操作前，浮動選擇區域必須先固定在新的圖層
或是最後使用的圖層上。要這樣做，可以在「圖層、色版及路徑」
對話窗中按下「新增圖層」或「固定圖層」按鈕。另外在選單中
也可以這樣做。

#The GIMP supports gzip compression on the fly.  Just add
#".gz" (or ".bz2", if you have bzip2 installed) to the filename
#and your image will be saved compressed.  Of course loading
#compressed images works too.

GIMP 存檔時支援 gzip 直接壓縮。只要在檔名加上 ".gz"
（或在安裝了 bzip2 的情況下使用 ".bz2"），圖像便會
以壓縮形態儲存起來。 當然直接打開壓縮圖檔也可以。

#Pressing and holding the Shift key before making a selection allows
#you to add to the current selection instead of replacing it.  Using
#Ctrl before making a selection subtracts from the current one.

若選擇區域之前按著 Shift 鍵，便會將新選擇的區域
加到舊的區域一起而非代替舊的區域。使用 Ctrl 則是
將舊的區域減去新的區域。

#You can press or release the Shift and Ctrl keys while you are
#making a selection in order to constrain it to a perfect square
#or circle, or to have it centered on its starting point.

當選取區域時可以同時按下 Shift/Ctrl 鍵，這樣可以
限制選擇區域為正方形或正圓形，或是將滑鼠開始拖曳
的位置定為選擇區域的中心點。

#Using Edit->Stroke allows you to draw simple squares or circles by
#painting the edge of your current selection with the active brush.
#More complex shapes can be drawn with Filters->Render->Gfig.

使用「編輯→描邊」可以透過用筆刷繪畫目前選擇區域的
邊緣來畫出簡單的方形或圓形。更複雜的圖形可以使用
「濾鏡→描繪→Gfig」繪畫。

#If you stroke a path (Edit->Stroke), the current drawing tool and its
#settings are used.  You can use the Paintbrush in gradient mode, the
#Clone tool with a pattern or even the Eraser or the Smudge tool.

描畫路徑時（編輯→描邊），會使用目前的繪畫工具和設定。
你可以使用漸層模式的畫筆、配合圖樣的模仿工具甚至橡皮擦
或塗污工具。

#You can create and edit complex selections using the Bezier tool.
#The "Paths" tab in the "Layers, Channels and Paths" dialog allows
#you to work on multiple paths and to convert them to selections.

你可以使用貝茲曲線工具來建立和編輯複雜的選擇區域。
在「圖層、色版及路徑」對話窗的「路徑」部份，你可以
同時處理多個路徑並將它們轉換為選擇區域。

#You can use the paint tools to change the selection.  Click on the
#Quick Mask button at the bottom left of an image window.  Change your
#selection by painting in the image and click on the button again to
#convert it back to a normal selection.

你可以使用繪畫工具來改變選擇區域。按下圖像視窗左下角的
「快速遮罩」按鈕。透過在圖像上繪圖可以改變選擇區域，
然後再按一次按鈕可以將之轉換為普通的選擇區域。

#You can save a selection to a channel (Select->Save to Channel) and
#then modify this channel with any paint tools.  Using the buttons in
#the "Channels" tab of the "Layers, Channels and Paths" dialog, you can
#toggle the visibility of this new channel or convert it to a selection.

你可以將選擇區域儲存為色版（選擇→儲存為色版）然後使用
任何繪畫工具修改此色版。利用「圖層、色版及路徑」對話窗中
「色版」部份的按鈕，你可以切換是否顯示這個新的色版並
將之轉換為選擇區域。

# Tips for advanced users start here
# (this is mostly for learning shortcut keys)
#

#If your screen is too cluttered, you can press Tab multiple times
#in an image window to hide or show the toolbox and other dialogs.

如果畫面過於混亂，你可以在圖像視窗中重複按下 Tab 鍵
來隱藏或顯示工具箱和其它對話窗。

#You can adjust the selection range for fuzzy select
#by clicking and dragging left and right.

你可以調整模糊選擇區域的範圍，
方法是按下滑鼠鍵後向左或右拖曳。

#Shift-click on the eye icon in the Layers dialog to hide all
#layers but that one.  Shift-click again to show all layers.

在「圖層」視窗內，按下 Shift 鍵再用滑鼠鍵按下
圖層的眼形圖示，則會只顯示這個圖層而隱藏其它。
再做一次則會顯示所有的圖層。

#Ctrl-click on the layer mask's preview in the Layers dialog 
#toggles the effect of the layer mask.

在顯示圖層的視窗內，若先按 Ctrl 鍵再用滑鼠鍵按下
圖層遮罩的預覽區，則會切換是否顯示圖層遮罩的效果。

#Alt-click on the layer mask's preview in the Layers dialog 
#toggles viewing the mask directly.

在顯示圖層的視窗內，若先按 Alt 鍵再用滑鼠鍵按下
圖層遮罩的預覽區，則會切換是否直接顯示遮罩。

#You can use Alt-Tab to cycle through all layers in an image 
#(if your window manager doesn't trap those keys...).

你可以用 Alt-Tab 來逐層顯示圖像中的所有圖層。
（得注意視窗管理程式會否攔截這個組合鍵）

#Ctrl-click with the Bucket Fill tool to have it use 
#the background color instead of the foreground color.

使用「油漆桶填色」工具時，若先按下 Ctrl 鍵再按
滑鼠鍵便會用背景顏色而非前景顏色來填色。

#Control-drag with the Transform tool in rotation mode 
#will constrain the rotation to 15 degree angles.

在變換工具的旋轉模式中，按滑鼠鍵前先按 Ctrl 鍵
會將旋轉角度限制為 15°的倍數。

#You can adjust and re-place a selection by using Alt-drag.

你可以透過拖曳滑鼠同時按下 Alt 鍵來調整和重新
放置選擇區域。

#If your fonts turn out blocky, that's because they're not scalable 
#fonts. Most X servers support scalable Type 1 Postscript fonts.  
#Download and install them.  Some font servers allow you to use 
#TrueType (.ttf) fonts, which are also scalable.

如果字型看起來很不平滑，那是因為它們不是可縮放的字型。
大部分的 X 伺服器都支援 Type 1 Postscript 字型。下載
並安裝這類字型吧。某些字型伺服程式允許使用 TrueType
（.ttf）字型，它們也是可以縮放的。

#To create a perfect circle, hold Shift while doing an ellipse select. To
#place a circle precisely, drag horizontal and vertical guides tangent to
#the circle you want to select, place your cursor at the intersection
#of the guides, and the resulting selection will just touch the guides.

若要畫出正圓形，方法是選擇橢圓區域時按下 Shift 鍵。
若要精確地放置圓形，先拖曳水平及垂直參考線至目標
圓形的切線位置，再將游標放到參考線的交叉點上，得出來
的選擇區域便會僅僅接觸到參考線。

#If some of your scanned photos do not look colorful enough, you can
#easily improve their tonal range with the "Auto" button in the Levels
#tool (Image->Colors->Levels).  If there are any color casts, you can
#correct them with the Curves tool (Image->Colors->Curves).

如果掃描出來的相片色彩不太鮮豔，你可以使用色階工具
（圖像→色彩→色階）中的「自動」按鈕來輕易地改善
圖像的色彩範圍。如果色彩有任何走樣，你可以使用
「曲線」工具（圖像→色彩→曲線）來修正。
