Downloading the user manual

I can't seem to find a way to download the user's manual, as with mostmanuals (in PDF), as opposed to having to use it manually online.

Am I missing something, or is that just a Gimp fact of life?

Thanks.

Eric

Dear Eric,

tl;dr: we're not providing PDFs for download.

We provided PDF versions of the manual for a while. The process involvednever became stable and made it out of the work-in-progress state. Thatis, we can create PDFs for most latin languages, but there is noautomated process available to provide them on our homepage fordownload. The PDFs are somewhat usable (readable, printable), but farfrom perfect.

Therefore you see only HTML versions of the manual.

If you can spare some free time I encourage you to have a look at ourproject with a git clone. If all dependencies are installed, a simple:

./autogen.sh make pdf

will start creating PDFs. Keep in mind that this is for user manualdevelopers only and not supposed to be run by an end-user (-reader).

Kind Regards,

Thanks for the information, though I regret the answer.

As I had Gimp recommended to me to use to create covers for the ebooks Iwrite, I was simply hoping to have a manual available that I could easilyread and search. I am not a developer of any sort, and have no idea what a'git clone' is or what dependencies are.

I'll see if I can find online tutorials somewhere that explain (hopefully)how to do the only four things I am really interested in: (1) being ableto resize an image where I control both height and width [right now thescale feature seems to allow me to change one or the other and then Gimpkeeps the original proportions];

Something like this:

(2) adding text [title/author];

this (unfortunately only part of the reference, but perhaps stillhelpful):

(3) > superimposing either parts of several photographs onto a blank background,or parts of one photo on top of another,

You want to work with layers:

and (4) winding up with a jpeg
file [required for ebook publishing via Amazon, etc.].

and this:

My partner of 30 years died unexpectedly just under 20 years ago, but helived by the principle that if you don't ask, you don't get. So if you canpoint me in the direction of solutions to any of the above issues, thatwould be greatly appreciated.

If not, thanks for taking the time to explain the user manual situation.

Hope that will help, even if it helps to get started.
