A floating selection must be anchored to a new layer or to the last active layer before doing other operations on the image. Click on the "New Layer" or the "Anchor Layer" button in the Layers dialog, or use the menus to do the same.

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).

Most plug-ins work on the current layer of the current image. In some cases, you will have to merge all layers (Image->Flatten Image) if you want the plug-in to work on the whole image.

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).
