GIMP Question

First off, thank you, this is a great program and I don't have to spend a fortune doing what I do in Photoshop for work applications. My question is this: Yesterday when I installed the program and used it I had many tools and options in the windows. When I logged back into my computer today some of it was missing and I cannot figure out how to get it back. Do you have a "go back to default settings" button that brings all tools back up? Thanks for your help.

I suspect you closed the layers dialogue at some point when you used the program. Gimp will remember how you organise your windows and reopen in whatever configuration it was last closed in.

Typically, users like to have layers, channels and paths dialogues docked in an additional window to the toolbox and this is provided in the standard installation. You can reopen them at any time by going to File -> Dialogues -> Create New Dock -> Layers, Channels & Paths. You can also open additional dialogues and customise their layout to your heart's content. See the manual for further info or watch the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aR3o7rYdx0
