GIMP :: Change Resolution And Print Size?

Aug 18, 2013

Just recently moved to Gimp. I like it but I am struggling. Millions of questions, but to start: How can I alter the resolution of and image without changing its physical size. I am trying to keep to a print size of 7x5", and reduce the resolution to 300pixel/inch. When I go to: 'set image print resolution' and change the X and Y resolution, the 'Print Size' changes with it. I have tried everything I can think of. I have make a new file at the correct resolution and pasted the image in, but the colors in the photos changed, so I dumped that idea.

GIMP :: Change Print Size / Export To PDF

Jun 25, 2011

My end goal is to have a PDF image that is 13in(h) x 19in(w).

Image / Print Size is exactly 13x19. However, when I print to a PDF printer, and set the page size within the Print Preferences to Custom 13x19, I still get a much larger page than the image is.

I see message boards say to use File / Page Setup and select a Custom Print size. I do not see this as an option.

I've tried saving to PNG and then opening in other programs, but it makes the image much larger, and it affects the set-up.

GIMP :: Cannot Change Image Pixel Dimensions From Print Size Dialogue

Dec 15, 2012

"Image > Print Size" really IS the command you are looking for.

The key is to pay attention to the units-of-measure shown on the Print Size dialogue box:- The "Width" and "Height" values under Print Size are displayed in real-world units (inches, mm, etc.), not image pixels.- The "Resolution" values are displayed in pixels-per-unit.- You cannot change your image's pixel dimensions (aka scale the image) from the Print Size dialogue. That's what the "Scale Image" command is for.Remember the relation between pixel and print sizes is:(print size) = (pixel size) / (print resolution)

When you change the image's print resolution, of course the real-world size (the "width" or "height" shown in the Print Size dialog) of your image will update to reflect the new print resolution -- that value is calculated from your image's actual pixel size and whatever resolution value you just entered. This is totally normal behavior -- in fact, it's expected. If you change an image's resolution from, say, 150 pixels/inch to 75 pixels/inch, this doubles the print size of your image but only the print size; the image's pixel size remains precisely the same as before. (You can confirm this by comparing "Image > Canvas Size..." before and after changing the resolution.)

And as others have stated, if you're using the image for Web viewing then its print resolution has absolutely zero effect on how it will appear onscreen (print resolution only affects, well, actual printing), in which case you'll want to use the "Scale Image" command to actually scale your image larger or smaller.

GIMP :: Printing Is Low Resolution And Not To Size

Dec 11, 2011

I drew up a logo design a while ago and when I finally printed it, I realized I know nothing about scaling my drawing to an actual real printed size. Is there a way to know the size in inches and/or a way to see it on the page (i.e. a print preview). Also, when I do print, it's majorly fuzzy for some reason.

Photoshop :: CS5 - Change Size Of Font Without Changing Resolution

Aug 29, 2012

I've just gotten an ASUS Zenbook ultrabook, and I have to say that it runs PS (CS5) beautifully. Just one problem: with the 1920x1080 resolution, the menus, tools, etc. are tiny. Is there any way to change the size of the font in PS itself without changing the resolution on the whole computer?

Photoshop :: Resolution Change - Reduce Image File Size?

Jul 13, 2013

What is the best way to reduce an image's file size (say by 50%) so that someone with limited RAM can work on the file and then when they are done restore the file back to its 100% size for final output--without sacrificing resolution or pixels. File is a layered psd and will eventually be going to print.

GIMP :: Change Resolution After XCF Started?

Jul 19, 2012

So I started a new xcf, but I forgot to change the resolution from 72, to 300.....

Is it too late? Is there anyway to change the resolution now?

Considering just copying and pasting all the layers into a new xcf.... it's mostly text boxes, will the old resolution affect this process?

GIMP :: Pixel Size To Print A Certain Size

Oct 17, 2013

I want to create a template whereby I can make a series of images that I can save as jpgs, upload to my blog, and people can print them. When they print, I want them to be one quarter of a sheet of paper (fit four to a page).

I tried creating a new image using the "inches" specification and those inches seem to have no bearing on inches in real life once printed.

So then I figured that a sheet of paper is 8.5 by 11 and I want a resolution of 300 dpi.

So 8.5 times 300: 2,550 pixels. Times that by 0.25 to get a quarter of it: 637.5 (which gets rounded to 638 pixels).

11 times 300: 3,300 pixels. Times that by 0.25= 825 pixels.

So I put in for 638 pixels by 825 pixels and 300 dpi. I created my image. I saved it as a jpg at full resolution. I uploaded it to my site and tested out the printing.

It took up most of a sheet of paper. Not even close to being a quarter of a sheet.

GIMP :: Print Size Changes In 2.8 To Wrong Size

May 7, 2013

I've been using 2.6 and created a template for multiple business cards on a standard 8.5 by 11 sheet. [URL]

However the later versions ... 2.8 cause distortions when I try to print. ( Canon MG 2120) The standard 8.5 by 11 mysteriously converts to 7.997 by 10.349 inches .... and a weird 318.870 ppi appears. This obviously distorts my template and the 2 by 3.5 inch cards become odd sizes. When I open the template in 2.6, it works perfectly.

What has happened to the later version? i can't reset to inches and even using the 2559 by 3300 pixils with the 1050x600 card sizecan't be printed accurately So I'm now creating in 2.8 and opening in 2.6 to get my sizes correctly.

I love the expanded tools for drawing in the 2.8 ... but this feature is a nuisance ... along of course with the terrible sizing scale for the brushes. SO hard to calibrate the smaller and moe common sizes. Another bad feature.

Have I missed some adjustment somewhere. Using the same printer, same download gives two different prints sizes in 2.6 and 2.8.

Photoshop :: Making Low Resolution Image Look Higher Resolution For Print

Mar 17, 2013

I realize the nature of my question maybe asking the impossible, but I have a low res image I downloaded from the internet, placed in an InDesign page, blew it up and printed it out. I was going for the distressed look that it has, it looks ok when I print it out considering it's low res and I blew it up fairly large. However, it's a little too pixelated to look professional when printed. Are they any tricks or things I can do to make it look higher res for print. I've attached the image as well as a screenshot of the InDesign file so you can see it in context.

GIMP :: Print Size For Images

Mar 16, 2012

I have managed to reset the print size for smaller images (7,5 by 5 centimetres) and they have worked fine. But now I need a print 90 mm (9cm) by 150mm (15 cm) and even after unlocking the chain the print comes out at 150 by 115 mm...I've tried it about 50 times now and it's always the same.

GIMP :: Size Of Image In Print

Jun 25, 2012

When I scan an image, in this case a standard A4 size, and do modifications with Gimp I am making progress in getting a reasonably good result but when I try to print out the final image I would like it to be precisely the exact same size as the original . As it turns out the scan becomes slightly smaller than the original and when I print to A4 paper I get an ugly border. which is either a hard line paper edge or slightly contrasting color (not the pure white original border around my picture).

How to change the size of the image once my scanner puts it into Gimp so that it will correspond with the original, or even overlap by a tiny amount, to eliminate the awful edges. Do I adjust the size of the canvas or the image, or both, and if so what are the tools to use. I've tried some Gimp tools that say they adjust the size of the image but they seem to shrink it in relation to the canvas instead of expanding it. Intuitively, since the image consists of pixels, it would seem there should be a simple way to increase the spaces between all the pixels so that the image increases in size. However I'm discovering that Gimp can be quite counter intuitive.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: How To Change To Print In A5 Size

Oct 22, 2012

I am making a booklet up.  I have set the workspace paper size to A5  landscape.  And set to booklet and facing pages, great, that is a whole lot of hassle dealt with.

But,

I make up my design, looks good on the screen.  Export to pdf and print it off and it is printing one page of my work on a single page of A4 paper full size.  i.e. I need it printed onto A4 paper in landscape so that I have a left page and a right page, that I can fold in half.  But it is just printing like normal.

What do I have to do to get it two print two pages of information onto a single A4 landscape rotated piece of paper?

GIMP :: Can't Get Image To Print At Correct Size

Mar 8, 2012

I'm a very new user to GIMP but have been using paint shop pro for quite some time - I still use version 7

Here's the situation: I received a pdf that I want to print so I imported it into gimp. It's 8.5x11 at 100dpi & two pages. So I imported it as two images (not layers) at same resolution settings. White out the unnecessary images go to print and then to printer preferences. 300 dpi is the smallest resolution on my printer so I also select 8.5x11 paper & 'sale to fit.' The resulting image is so large that approx only the top-left quarter of the doc prints.

OK, so in GIMP I go to 'Print Size' change the image resolution to 300 pixels: same result, exactly
Print size isn't it, lets try 'Scale Image' at 300 pixels. Same result again...

I tried both settings above with 'scale to fit' (printer) on & off with absolutely no changes to the printed image... very strange. Is gimp overriding my printer settings? If so how do I correct this?

Interestingly, when I re-sized the images in gimp (or thats what I thought I was doing with 'print size' & 'scale image') the size of the view-able image on the desktop in the application window did not change... the size of the window stayed the same, the zoom percentage did not change & most importantly the image did not change.

Finally, I checked if the original image prints correctly in Adobe Reader: No problem and it prints fine. Unfortunately, while I have what I need, I'm not one to give up that easily and want to know if the issue is the printer, gimp.

Why I can't get the image to print in GIMP at the correct size?

GIMP :: Image Size Reduced When Trying To Print Landscape?

Aug 18, 2011

I'm trying to print a landscape image but the image is reduced when printed. I open a new A4 sized template and make my image but when it comes time to print the image is smaller on the page than A4. Is there an easy solution to this? I have messed around with orientation both in GIMP and my printer settings, I have used the printers' "fit to page" setting and tried everything I can think of.

GIMP :: Print / Canvas Size - Picture Cut Off (4x6 Paper)

Dec 20, 2013

I used scale image to make a 2.314" x 3" image to print so it'll fit in a frame that I have for that same size. When I print it out the size looks great but it's over on the edge of the 4x6 paper and most of the picture is cut off. I tried, I should use print size and not canvas size but when I change the print size to 4x6 it also changes my canvas size back to 4x6. I still have my original so I can do this again but what I want is a 2.314"x3" image to print out on my 4x6 glossy paper.

Lightroom :: Change Page Setup - Print Module Defaults To Letter Size

Mar 11, 2014

I have a set of Lightroom Print templates that I am trying to use, that are all for a 4x6 print.  I can't get it to work because my page setup in the print module defaults to letter size.  When I go in and change the page setup, it messes up the template and it gets all jumbled.  Then when I go on to the next template, it switches back to letter size again.  I want to create and hold a 4x6 canvas so these templates can either be saved to a 4x6 .jpg or printed on 4x6 paper.  I know I can save a printer and page layout as part of a template by clicking the "update settings" once I have it all as i want it, but I can't even get that far because it messes up the template as soon as I change the page settings to 4x6. How do I get the canvas to 4x6 on templates that are already created so I can save them as a 4x6 .jpg or print to 4x6 paper?
 
I even just installed a printer that only prints 4x6 to see, but again, when I change the page layout it completely messes up the template.

GIMP :: Slider Value - How To Change Size Regularly

Jan 30, 2014

The sliders are nearly useless for me as I typically use pens and brushsizes of 1,5, 10 and 20. I need to change the size regularly and thesliders would be ideal yet my 'working' range is in a tiny little bit atthe end of the slider value.

It would be a huge gain for me to some how set the max slider value to avalue of my choice (say 50) rather than the current value of 1000

Is it possible? If not can I make a feature request (and if so how)

If i chosse 300 dpi then the images I was going to use seem tiny on such a vast workspace - Im confused why does the canvas become so large when changing resolution?
