i typed a lot, but must have inadeptly hit send, first, before finishing. 

long story short: i have a 4x4 image. i want to place it in a 4x6 frame, to print (keeping the original 4X4 aspect ratio. 

how do i do this in gimp? i would also be doing much the same to drop 4x6 images into a 4X5 frame, for instagram. all the while, keeping the original image's aspect ratio.

thanks.

How do I put one image onto another? I need to put a pencil, a paintbrush, a set of music notes, and letters and numbers in certain specific places on the big smiley face I've drawn and saved. Also: how do I fine-tune the size of these images as I place them on the smiley face?

Hello,

I recently discovered a program, called PixageFX, which can convert images to pixel art. As the image is converted, all the lines in it are straightened as shown in the links below.

Before:

After:

(Sorry, the site constantly gave me errors when trying to embed the images here)

You can also check the program on Steam.

The program has to be purchased. I was wondering if there is a plug-in that can straighten lines in an image like that?

Thanks,

Hi all

I'm going to scan about 1,000 photos to digital images.  On testing I found the size of each digital image is about 2.0MB.  

I can compress its size to about half, 1.1MB on GIMP;
File -> Export As -> Select File Type (By Extension)
file type - jpg
-> Export
Export Image as JPEG
Quality --> 85

The final compressed size of the digital image = 1.1MB

Would the compressed image files affect their future use?  I won't print them but use them on digital album, digital slideshow, posting on websites etc.

Please advice.

Besides I'll further compress and archive all digital files running "gzip"

Thanks

Regards

Hello!
I got myself in a pickle so large than I proceed to create an account and write this post on this forum. I'm trying to modify rivers in a map that I'm creating. 
Here's one of the rivers:

I came across this post, whos OP got a similiar problem: 
https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Creati...-selection
Although the answers were nearly at home of what I need, unfortunately, because of the shape of the rivers I couldn't use answer provided in that post. 
That's why I'm asking. Is there a way to create a path going thru the center of the rivers? 
PS: sorry for any spelling errors, English is not my first language and I wrote this post in a hurry. 
Thanks in advance for any answers!

Last day to showcase one of the logos I made, I downloaded a PSD from Freepik and tried to use it through GIMP.

I think the process is as simple as adding the logo somewhere. But I am not sure how to do that properly using the GIMP dev version.

The above is the link to the PSD I tried to use. Whatever I try to do, the logo never gets " seated " properly in the property.

I'm trying to figure out how to apply soft proofing in Gimp.

I use the following:

Operating system is Debian Bullseye
Gimp is 2.10.22

My system has been colour corrected using a Spyder5 and DisplayCalc, and applied system wide using xcalib. My monitor is a Dell U2412M ultrasharp.  Colour correction provides only a minor change in appearance.
My printer is an Epson XP960 and this works well via Gimp Print and also via Gimp gutenprint. Printed colours are reasonably close to the screen images, but I wish to explore the Gimp softproof option.

How should I do this?

How do I change the background color from black to white in Gimp 2.10?

hi, im new to gimp.
When using gimp i ran into a problem where a yellow square appeared and i could not work around it. i found this thread that told me to uncheck the "Show layer boundary" but after doing that i still could not work around where the yellow square was. i have no idea how to make it so that i can work around it.
is there a way to get around this?

Hi all,

I expect performing bulk/batch editing a group of negative-images (say for example 40 negative-images) running following commands on GIMP
Colors -> Auto -> White Balance
and then
Colors -> Linear Invert

A folk on another thread advised me to do it through layer;
1. Create a new layer
2. Copy 40 negative-images on new layer
3. Perform editing one negative-image, then the rest negative-images would be automatically edited simultaneously.

I have 2 GIMP versions:-
GIMP 2.10.18
Ubuntu 20.04 desktop
G'MIC-Qt (Filter plugin)
Goat-Exercise

GIMP 2.10.30
Ubuntu 22.04 desktop VM (VirtualBox)
Python-Fu (Filter plugin)
Scipt-Fu

I have no previous experience on this technique and on making some search online I found following threads;
