Hello everyone!
This is my first post, so bear with me if the formatting is a little wonky.
I am starting a project where I take small images and quotes and cut them into squares on an 8.5x11.00in cardstock. What I would like to do, but am not sure how to do, is to divide a layer in gimp into a grid, with boxes ~4x5 on the paper. Then, I would like to paste the scanned images I have into each of those squares, export, and print.
Using render>pattern has gotten me to a certain point, but it's not very printer friendly, the alignment seems kinda off, and I feel like I am reinventing the wheel. What would be perfect is if each square was its own instance, as in a separate layer so I can work within each box separately without grabbing other places as well; I am not sure if that's possible or over-complicated?
I am not totally new to GIMP, although I haven't used it in about 2 years.
