GIMP: Draw a straight line - how it works

You will rarely be able to get straight lines in Gimp hands-free. Therefore there is a special function with which you can draw such lines.

Draw straight lines and lines in Gimp

1. Start Gimp and open the picture you want.
2. Then select the brush and click where you want your line to start.
3. Move the mouse to the desired end of your line and simultaneously press the [Ctrl] + [Shift] keys.
4. The gray line then becomes exactly straight and shows you your future line. If you are satisfied with the length, click again in the drawing area to accept the line.
