Explain the Tools

Open-ended textbook questions from exercises.

  1. While using the crop tool, which area of the image is cropped? The darkened area or the remaining area?
  2. For what purpose is an image scaled in GIMP?

Identify specifically what happens to the darkened vs remaining area.

Focus on: the physical changes to the image data and the real-world utility of doing this.

Solving Editing Problems

Socratic chat for a real-world scenario.

Learners can ask follow-up questions and keep the thread going.
