Hello I really need to adjust a photograph. It needs to be 600 by 600 pixels. When I change one value it seems to automatically adjust itself. I really need to get this done ASAP, so if you can help it would be graitely appreciated. I presume that you are using Scale Image. At the right hand side of the boxes where you enter the dimensions there are 2 chain links which are joined together, click on these and they will separate. Now you can enter your dimensions with out any problem. Norman ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

A little more detail might help, but generally if you have loaded it with the GIMP, then first change mode to RGB if not. Image -- Mode -- RGB Now go to: Image -- Scale Image and do the small dimension first (probably) == here you would probably set the small dimension to 600 - then if you hit tab to another field the big dimension will adjust accordingly - when its right select scale. An SLR is commonly 3:2 proportion and a common digital may already be 4:3 proportion. == Then go to Image -- Canvas Size unlink the chain and adjust the other dimension so that it is 4:3 proportion, center as necessary and click to Resize. When you hit Image -- Canvas Size you first break the chain. Then change the big dimension to 800. Move the cursor to the center function and drag the image around if necessary. Then click Resize. Also to note - if the original image is larger than than the final when you do the enhance you should end up with a decent picture. If much smaller and you area actually growing it to 800x600 then you will lose quality noticably. In the instructions I assumed that you are starting with a big pic. If you resize an image it tends to get a little soft, so now go to: Filters -- Enhance -- Sharpen -- about 50 -- and click OK Then save as new name... OK, i've got as far as this part:- adjust the other dimension so that it is 4:3 proportion but how do I do this please? -- Bob Meetin www.dottedi.biz 303-926-0167 www.Twitter.com/bobmeetin Standards - you gotta love em with so many to choose from!

Then you're probably going to want to crop out a square part of the picture and adjust that. -Original Message- From: gimp-user-boun...@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu [mailto:gimp-user-boun...@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu] On Behalf Of Ruthy Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 10:58 AM To: gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU Subject: [Gimp-user] Urgently need to adjust photograph size Hello I really need to adjust a photograph.

Depending to which nation he is applying for his passport, altering the photograph in that way may be illegal. The two nations for which I hold passports allow only cropping and resizing of the image, even colour adjustment and free rotation is forbidden. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
