Saving an image uses XCF, GIMP's native file format (file extension <tt>.xcf</tt>). This preserves the layers and many aspects of your work-in-progress, allowing to work on it again later. Once a project is completed, you can export it as JPEG, PNG, GIF, etc.

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

If a layer's name in the Layers dialog is displayed in <b>bold</b>, this layer doesn't have an alpha-channel. You can add an alpha-channel using Layer→Transparency→Add Alpha Channel.

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 (Layer→Transparency→Add Alpha Channel) or flatten it (Image→Flatten Image).

You can adjust or move a selection by using <tt>Alt</tt>-drag. If this makes the window move, your window manager uses the <tt>Alt</tt> key already. Most window managers can be configured to ignore the <tt>Alt</tt> key or to use the <tt>Super</tt> key (or "Windows logo") instead.

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

You can use the middle mouse button to pan around the image (or optionally hold <tt>Spacebar</tt> while you move the mouse).

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.

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

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 the "Anchor Layer" button in the Layers dialog, or use the menus to do the same.
