The Align tool is useful to align the image layers with various image objects. When this tool is selected, the mouse pointer turns to a small hand. By clicking on an element of a layer in the image, you choose the layer which will be moved (with Shift + click, you can choose several layers to be aligned); this focused layer has small squares in corners and is called source. Then buttons in the dialog become active (they remain active during all the GIMP session): they allow you to select the target, i.e other layer, selection, path, the source will be aligned with.
Você pode ativar a ferramenta de Alinhar de várias formas:
from the image-menu, through:
→ → ,by clicking on the tool icon: in the toolbox,
Ou usando o atalho de teclado Q.
Você pode selecionar várias camadas segurando a tecla Shift pressionada enquanto clica nas camadas.

Algumas vezes é mais fácil escolher múltiplas camadas usando o “elástico”: clique e arraste para desenhar um retângulo englobando as camadas que você deseja escolher. Todas as camadas que estavam completamente dentro do retângulo estão selecionadas. Note que fazendo assim não existe nenhum alvo do tipo“Primeiro item” aos quais as demais camadas possam ser alinhadas. |
Normalmente, as opções da ferramenta são exibidas assim que você ativa uma ferramenta em uma caixa localizada abaixo da caixa de ferramentas. Se isso não acontecer, você pode acessar as mesmas através do menu na janela da imagem em
→ →In this drop down list, you select the target, the image object the layer will be aligned with.
Primeiro item: O primeiro item selecionado quando se seleciona múltiplas camadas usando a tecla Shift. Perceba que não há um “Primeiro item ” quando você seleciona múltiplas camadas usando o elástico.
Image: the image is the target.
Selection: the selection is the target.
Active layer: the active layer, in the layer dialog, is the target.
Active Channel: the active channel, containing a selection you made before, is the target.
Active Path: the active path is the target.
These buttons become active when a target is selected.
: to align left edge of source with left edge of target.
vertical middle line of target.
: to align center of source on the: to align right edge of source with right edge of target.
: to align top edge of source with top edge of target.
horizontal middle line of target.
: to align center of source on the: to align bottom edge of source with bottom edge of target.
These options are used when you have several targets and want to arrange them. Here, layers selected with Shift + Click are called “targets” . But they are actually sources. “Relative to” options are active to set the target. These transformations are usually relative to “Image”.
These options work as Align options, but you can add an offset and new options are available to distribute sources evenly.
: to distribute left edges of sources on the left edge of the target (the image).
: to distribute centers of sources with center of the target horizontally.
: to distribute right edges of sources on right edge of the target.
: to distribute sources evenly horizontally.
: to distribute top edges of sources on top edge of target.
: to distribute centers of sources with center of target.
: to distribute bottom edges of sources with bottom edge of target.
: to distribute sources evenly vertically.
This offset can be positive or negative and is expressed in pixels. Distribute add it to the left edges, horizontal centers, right edges, top edges, vertical centers, or bottoms of sources.
GIMP-2.10 shows relative coordinates (horizontal or vertical) when moving guides and sample points. Coordinates are relative to the start of moving.
