Gimp circle FAQ: How do I draw a circle in Gimp?

As I can never remember obscure things, here's my tip on how to draw a circle in Gimp (a Gimp circle).

To draw a Gimp circle follow these steps:

  1. Select the Gimp Ellipse tool.
  2. Hold down the [Shift] and [Alt] keys.
  3. Click the mouse in one spot and drag it to another.

As you'll see, this draws a circle in Gimp, not an ellipse.
