Some Basic Help Please

[temyankee]

I am trying to do 3 simple things, but I cannot figure out how to accomplish this. So, here goes.

1) I want to take a .TGA file, rotate the image 90 degrees, then save it as a .TGA file under a new filename. As far as I know, that is the only format read by the game I am fiddling with.

2) I want to take a .TGA file, change the color(s) of the image, then save it as a .TGA file under a new filename.

3) I want to take a .TGA file and simply add a border to the image, which is square.

Please let me know in simple terms how to accomplish these tasks. I am new to Gimp and have never been good with image manipulation. Scripting/Programming, yes. But I', not what you would say the artistic type.

Thanx to any and all help.

Load the file in gimp : File / Open (search file in your folders)
Gimp menu : Image / Transform / Rotate 90° clockwise
Save the file : File / Export As (fill in the name with the extension .TGA)
Change the colors in gimp menu : Colours / (try the different items)
A way to make a Square border :  use  the 'Rectangle Select Tool', tick 'Fixed' and fill in below 'Fixed' : 1:1
Make a selection, then 'ENTER' on you keyboard (you see maching ants) and then: 'Select / To Path'
Set selection of : Select / None
Select the 'path' dock, you see a layer with a quare path. Right click on this path layer and click on 'Stroke Path'
