The GIMP Toolbox

When you start the GIMP, it opens the toolbox, shown on the right. The top section of the toolbox contains a set of tools, activated by clicking an icon. There are tools you can use to select a section of the image and tools that change the image. For instance, the first tool selects a rectangular section of the image. Other tools include a paintbrush, a pencil, an eraser, a tool that adds text to the image, tools that change colors, and more. In this image, the paintbrush is selected.
