It seems that the default positioning preserves some number of negative units which causes the image to use only a portion of the space available on the display screen.
I do not really understand that statement, different units ? It is possible to have an image with non-square pixels, DVD wide screen anamorphic for example. You can see the effect by turning dot-for-dot off in the view menu. Also rulers show square for pix until changing to real-world units. The same image Gimp 3.2.4 with 2:1 non-square pixels
Quote:While it is understandable that this might be useful for some operations, when I know that there no intention of enlarging the image it has the affect of preventing that space from being used to get a larger view of the image.
I'd like to eliminate that blank space but after spending quite of bit of time looking in the user manual have not succeeded. I'm thinking this should be simple and hope someone can explain how without having to waste the time I already have. PLEASE!
If you need a bit more screen space, turn the rulers off in the view menu Show Rulers (Shift-Ctrl-R) also Fit Image in Window Shift-Ctrl-J and F11 for full screen.
Probably best if you post a sceenshot of your Gimp and image.
