GIMP :: Missing Crop Tool Which Can Rotate Crop Rectangle?

Aug 4, 2012

I am missing a crop tool which can rotate the crop rectangle. Similar to photoshop's tool. I found no way to rotate the crop rectangle in gimp. How do you cut out something from an image if it needs to be rotated while cropping? I tried rotating first then cropping but it does not give me enough precision so I end up with transparent areas at the border.

GIMP :: Dot Button Beside Scale That Auto Sets Scale Back To Default?

Jan 5, 2012

When I'm editing pix, and need a quick large solid brush for a couple seconds, (1-inch dia), I slide "scale", but it's nearly impossible to manually rest scale back to default without restarting Gimp...

Can there be a dot-button beside scale that auto-sets scale back to default..? and/or a timer on scale changes that resets scale back to default after ten-seconds..?

GIMP :: How To Crop And Resize Image

Oct 2, 2011

Is there a way to just splice my image up into 16 512x512 squares? like a tile set (which by the way I'm sure my math is screwed up on that so how many squares I need to cut out a 2048x2048 image for 4 on top and 4 on the sides that'd be great. I suck at math)

I tried copping and stuff but I can't seem to use the tools right. I wrote a lengthy detailed version of this but figured it was too much to read so I am editing/cutting all the details out

Also the resize part. nevermind I got it figured, I just had to resize the image and the canvas follows suit. I didn't know that, thought I had to resize canvas first then image like in photoshop.

GIMP :: Crop Right At Frame Of The Artwork

Sep 16, 2011

I love the GIMP program, even though my attempt at doing my first thing does not seem to be happening.

simply, I have taken a shot of a piece of artwork and I am wanting to crop right at the frame of the artwork. I successfully did the Scissor thing...hovered over the first 'dot' and held down the cntl key...and the marching ants were seen..OK so far.

HOWEVER, (after following a youtube tutorial) when I was at the 'CUT' stage, my crop did not turn white, like in the tutorial--the tutorial was Peyton manning's photo--I think-- so that is the hurdle I have to overcome...All worked well up to that point

--my photo is the first layer, then created another layer, named it, then moved it down one space then deleted one of the layers--I'm doing this from memory now--then did the scissor-thing and then the 'cut' step should have made my artwork all white....but no

GIMP :: Crop Files - Saving Stuff To PNG

Jun 18, 2011

I'm starting to get serious about photography. I've shot a batch of photos that need manual processing. There are a couple of steps where I should be able to save one or two keystrokes every time. This may sound minor, but when I have to do it time after time after time, it gets annoying. This is not intended to be a rant, but rather a request for info about changing defaults to speed things up for me.

I'm running Gimp 2.6.11 on Gentoo linux (64-bit). I've looked at"Edit ==> Preferences", but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

1) I need to crop photos, but the manual "crop tool" is not the best fit. I prefer to use "Image ==> Canvas Size". My problem is that the Width+Height aspect ratio defaults to staying constant. I.e. if I crop the X size, the Y size changes proportionally. I do NOT want that. I have to manually click on the link to break the linkage. Sometimes I forget, which can get really annoying, when cropping in one dimension crops the other as well. How can I change the default to not link the X+Y sizes?

2) Saving stuff to PNG *) After having done any cropping, I obviously want to save my work.Saving to PNG pops up a dialog about "Your image should be exported before it can be saved...", Is there any way to get the PNG save routine to "just do it", rather than popping up a dialogue?

*) If I'm saving to a new PNG file, I get *YET ANOTHER DIALOGUE* with settings for compression/interlacing/etc/etc. I never change the default settings, so this is another extra annoyance to me. How can I get the"save as" command to "just do it"?

I know the above may sound minor, but it does get annoying after the umpteenth time.

GIMP :: How To Crop A Photo To Remove Background

Jul 17, 2012

How to crop a photo to remove the background? Or do I need to go through several of the general tutorials before I can follow a tutorial on cropping?

I found a bunch of cropping tutorials on YouTube, but they used a lot of advanced (to me) terms and seemed focused on difficult situations.

I have 30-40 photos that are of wooden figures cut on a band saw. They do not have highly irregular edges like hair or fuzz.

I am hoping for a tool that can automatically follow the outline and then let me make any minor adjustments that may be needed.

GIMP :: Crop A Rectangle That Is Slightly Off Square

Sep 9, 2011

I'm trying to crop a rectangle that is slightly off square, so the cropping rectangle is either clipping part of the image or not enough of the empty space. Is there a way to clip a non-rectangular area?

The images are actually parts of a map as a specific projection, and need to be clipped non-rectangular so they match up.

GIMP :: Crop Multiple Images To Same Size

May 3, 2013

I need to crop multiple images to the same size and perhaps adjust the position of the crop rectangle a little bit for each image. It seems that gimp forces you to destroy the previous crop rectangle position and size when you start a new crop operation. Is there a way around this?

GIMP :: Crop To Selection Using Rule Of Thirds

Jan 27, 2014

Gimp 2.8.6, Windows 7

I do repetitive editing where I use a rectangle select tool with a 7:10 ratio and use the Rule-of-Thirds grid. Sometime selecting the proper part of the bottom part of the image requires that top part of the Rule-of-Thirds grid lies quite a bit above (off the top of) the image. Then when I choose Crop to Selection, the top of the Rule-of-Thirds grid closes and the top of the selection snaps to the top of the image, which is not what I want.

How to make the top border of the image be at the same place as the top edge of the Rule-of-Thirds grid? If it makes any difference to the procedure, I want the border around the image to all be the default white.

Or, just the original, indicating camera and lens, aperture and exposure?

GIMP :: Process Files Into Colour Swatches For Website - Single Click Crop

Oct 19, 2011

I have a few thousand files that I need to process into colour swatches for a web site. The process entails locating a suitable area of each image, cropping that area to 25 pixels square, and saving the result. Obviously, I need to be able to do this as quickly as possible; ideally with just a single click for each image, and so I'd like to set up a script in order to batch-process the images. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that a suitable position on one image is going to be at all suitable for another, so a limited amount of interactivity is required.

Is it possible to set up an interactive batch task, or would some other approach be required?
