Hi there folks,
I am terrible with computers and its driving me off the wall. I just downloaded GIMP 2.10.14 mostly just to re-size my drawings that i get printed to sell them. This is my first time using GIMP or any proper photo software for that matter.
My artwork is all scanned at 600dpi and they are mostly A4 images. I need to change their sizes to A5, A6 and A3. So i go into Image>Scale, look up measurements of A3 in inches and change them. It always says my image would be more than 650MB, why is that? Maybe I need to lower the dpi? But i dont want to lower it too much incase i lose the quality of the print. Because selling my art-work, its quite important for me to have a crisp print of my work. Also another thing i notice is when i look into dimensions of my scanned A4 image, it shows at 51.344 inches height and 71.042 inches width. That cant be right?
One of the ways, I think i have got around it after speaking to someone is to open a new document, set its measurements to A3 or the size i want and then upload the image into it.
Now I thought i might look into a way if i can change the image size of a batch which would save me going through every image. I downloaded Batch Image Manipulation Plugin, but it doesnt seem to allow me to change dimensions in inchs, mm, cm etc. It only seem to show me the option of resizing in %.
Is there a way to change resize load of images to A3, A4, A5 measurements in a batch?
Thanks a million
