After you enabled "Dynamic Keyboard Shortcuts" in the Preferences dialog, you can reassign shortcut keys. Do so by bringing up the menu, selecting a menu item, and pressing the desired key combination. If "Save Keyboard Shortcuts" is enabled, the key bindings are saved when you exit GIMP.

If some of your scanned photos do not look colorful enough, you can easily improve their tonal range with the "Auto" button in the Levels tool (Layer->Colors->Levels). If there are any color casts, you can correct them with the Curves tool (Layer->Colors->Curves).

Not all effects can be applied to all kinds of images. This is indicated by a grayed-out menu-entry. You may need to change the image mode to RGB (Image->Mode->RGB), add an alpha-channel (Layer->Transparency->Add Alpha Channel) or flatten it (Image->Flatten Image).

To create a circle-shaped selection, hold <tt>Shift</tt> while doing an ellipse select. To place a circle precisely, drag horizontal and vertical guides tangent to the circle you want to select, place your cursor at the intersection of the guides, and the resulting selection will just touch the guides.

You can adjust or move a selection by using <tt>Alt</tt>-drag. If this makes the window move, your window manager uses the <tt>Alt</tt> key already. Try pressing <tt>Shift</tt> at the same time.
