<title>Menus</title>

<para>
Some of &krita;'s menus are standard in &kde; or &koffice;, while others are
particular to &krita;. The <guimenu>File</guimenu> menu contains commands for
manipluating files. In the <guimenu>Edit</guimenu> menu, you can find commands
that do things with the current selection.  With the commands from the
<guimenu>View</guimenu> menu, you can change the way you look at the image.
The <guimenu>Image</guimenu> menu contains commands that change the entire
image, like converting all layers to another color model or resizing or
scaling the image. The <guimenu>Layer</guimenu> menu is like the
<guimenu>Image</guimenu> menu, but the commands only work on the current
layer. The <guimenu>Select</guimenu> menu contains commands to create and
manipulate selections. The <guimenu>Filter</guimenu> menu contains all the
filters you have installed. These work on the current layer. The
<guimenu>Scripts</guimenu> menu contains entries for working with scripts.
The <guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu is again common to &koffice; and allows
you to manipulate the toolbars, shortcuts and configuration of &krita;.
Finally, the <guimenu>Help</guimenu> menu gives you access to various
(hopefully helpful) information, such as this handbook.
