I just don't know to do it how with the Gimp. Dirk, may I suggest subscribing to [EMAIL PROTECTED], at least for a little while? It's a good list, the posters are friendly, it's spam-clean, and the linux printing developers post often. http://www.linuxprinting.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general-list I bet if you send this message to that list, you will have a solution within an hour. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
Re: [eug-lug]Re: Gimp & photos
To put multiple photos on a page, determine the pixel dimension's you'll need to hold what you want on one page. For instance, if you have 4 1200x1600 pix, then make a new canvas (file-new) in the gimp, and specify 2400x3200. Then you can use cutNpaste to get the bits where you want them! Sounds like you've made some good progress... congrats, and continue to be patient with yourself, learning linux *can* be slow although many things are a snap if you know how to google and use other resources like tldp.org regards, Ben On 28 Oct 2003 07:07:18 -0800 Dirk Ouellette <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: | The pictures come as compressed and only on the first 3 inches or so | of the paper.
