GIMP :: How To Enlarge Image (Wide Keeping It In Proportion)
Sep 1, 2012
I have an image that is quite small, cropped from a larger image. I want to enlarge it to 317 mm wide keeping it in proportion.
Using the scaling tool I changed to mm and increased width to 317mm this leaves me with a 'window' into the top corner of the image.
I then used 'fit canvas to layers' and the canvas increases in size ok but it is empty (little grey squares) except for the top corner showing the small window into the image!
If I click on it with the resize tool I can see the whole image enlarged but as soon as i click on the 'scale' button it vanishes again and leaves the small window again?

I have got a logo that is 451 x197. It has a resolution of 72 px. I am trying to increase the resolution so that I can use the image for business cards and letterhead.
I need for the image to have a width of about 2500 pixels. If I scale the image to 2500 pixels the edges look pixelized or blurry.
My question is: Is there a way that I can make the 471 px logo stretch to 2500 px and still have sharp edges?

What I need to do is, take an image, split it into strips about 1/4 inch wide but have them so I can put them back.the actual size of the slices can be varied but each slice has to be the same size across the whole image.
is there a way to do this using GIMP on a mac?
I did see a add in but it was for windows only.

I was working on an image, it was quite big, 7000 px wide, 6000 tall but only 5 quite simple layers, the .xcf is 7.8MB.
All of a sudden after pasting from another .xcf file (which I had just10+ times with no similar result) I moved the pasted part, the image was pretty much finished and I went up to click file>export and everything between "open recent" and "quit" in the file menu was grey.No chance to save or export and it appears half an hour of work lost.It was as if the file menu didn't think I had a file open, but if I scrolled across to the filters menu for example, they were available for selection which they are not when you have no image open. I could edit the image and change layer visibilities and do what I wanted to the image - except save it. I had flash backs to darker days of shareware version of lesser softer titles on proprietary systems. In a moment of frustration I hit the little "x" to resign for the night and it warned me to save before closing.. I hit save as the only option was to overwrite a file I didn't really want to overwrite but I did and then wrote this.
It's 2.8.6 running on an up to date ubuntu 13.10 on a high end PC.

I am a new user of GIMP on a late 2008 MacBook Pro with Leopard (10.5.. I am trying to work with an image by applying filters however the image in the filters dialogue box is so small, it's almost unusable. How I can enlarge a portion of my pic in this box to more accurately alter it?

Is there any way I can scale images down in size, whilst keeping the quality of the image? I am a Media teacher having to use this software with the class and they must have high production values for their controlled assessment. However, I do not know how to get around the problem that all the work is predominantly blurred because students have scaled down the pictures resulting in horrendous blurring.

My image is in grayscale though it's recognised as RGB. It contains structures in white which I would like to fill with a colour. So basically, I'd like for all the white in the image to show up as e.g. red.
How do I do that? I'm guessing it must be possible to have a red layer and somehow this will then fill the white, but I'm getting confused with background and foreground filling options and I don't know which transparency options I have to choose.

I have a picture that is approximate 5 inches, by 10 inches. I want to blow the picture up to approx. 19x7 inches. But my question is, after I blow it up, and place it on a new image template, how will I know the "final" product will be proportioned correctly (with exact correct proportions as original pic) when I print it out.
Does GIMP "automatically" proportion the image correctly, or is there some mathematical equation/something to figure out the correct equation.

I am currently putting together a book of my thesis and need to re-crop many of the images that I've used and taken. The problem is that I would like to crop the images to a set proportion of the golden ratio, golden mean, divine whatever- all the same thing, basically a ratio of 1:1.618 (roughly).
I used to do this with no issue (I think) a few Photoshop versions back (maybe back towards CS2 or something, but as things have drastically changed (now running CS5.5) I am a little stuck. Whenever I select the crop tool, I try and input a fixed width and height of 1.618:1 or vice-versa depending on the image orientation- and leave the resolution blank. A long time ago, I seem to remember cropping the image with the tool and it was a fixed ratio as it is now, only before, the image did not drop from say 11x14 to 1x1.618 and blow up in resolution size. It maintained the image size and resolution and cut the excess off the smaller length generally.
I am NOT looking for that rule of thirds crop but a simple means to crop many images at one ratio. I know there is that script called the golden proportion or something however that does not crop to the right ratio that I am looking for. It mimics the existing photo's ratio which often times is off. The other reason I wanted to go through a certain proportion ratio as I did before is many of my images are of different base sizes and so I don't want to manually calculate this out dozens of times.
Does a simple (non-photo-destructive) solution to crop an image of any size to the 1:1.618 ratio, and maintain the resolution etc? By non photo-destructive I mean to not do the crop as I have been doing, then manually going into the image size and rescaling the image through shrinking the new resolution and then re-scaling the image.

How do you scale a layer proportional to the image size?
I want to scale a layer so that it's 10% of the width of the full image. It's going to be part of an action, so I can't just do the math, and do it manually.

I have a wide background image for the top of a site I am working on, which I am attaching. Basically, the original creator of the image faded the gradient from transparent to the background color of the site. The "shape" of the gradient is where I am having trouble. I tried even using the circle selection tool, then doing an inverted selection to force an oval shape, but that is not working great for me either.

I'm trying to create 1 pixel wide borders for some web buttons. I've tried to use the GIMP path tool to do this but I can't figure out how to get it looking right. See attached image.
1 - copied from a button I found on a web-page. This is what I want - single pixel horizontal and vertical lines with feathering on the curved bits.
2 - path that I used to generate the images on the right.
3 - 'Stroke Path' with 1px brush size & no antialiasing. Corners are not smooth.
4 - 'Stroke Path' with 1px brush size & anti-aliasing. Straight lines are too fuzzy as they are 2 pixel wide rather than 1.
Is there a way to do this with the path tool or any other way with the GIMP?

I am a new Gimp user and have just started working on my first project with this application. Unfortunately, I ran into a roadblock almost immediately. I am unable to make text any larger than 30 PX. I can enter larger sizes than this in the Text Tool window, but any value greater than 30 has no effect. It doesn't matter whether I am trying to change existing text or am setting up the Text Tool for entering some new text. Selecting different units for the text size makes no difference in the maximum text size.

Im trying to tear a dollar bill in half...I know how to do this and accomplished it with ease in gimp but theres one problem.
When I split the dollar bill, and I move each piece upward, the bottom corner of the dollar bill hides behind something...I think its the actual picture perimeter.. I hope this makes sense...basically the dollar bill is to large..when I move each piece of the dollar bill, the corners of the dollar behind fall behind the frame I guess or the perimieter of the picture. I tried resizing the layer but that didn't seem to work. Is there some way to enlarge the space where the object sits. I tried scaling and it doesnt make a difference either..

I am trying to take a handprint such as the one below and change the color of the handprint to say a light pink (or any color) but I want to keep most of the detail of the fine lines that make this handprint unique. The lines could even just come out as white as below. The main thing is to change the overall color while maintaining the fine details. I have been trying to accomplish this for over a week now in Photoshop Elements 11 and I have been unsuccessful as anything I do just totally color fills the image, which does not keep any details of the handprint.

I want to enlarge a small photograph with the zoomtool.And when I try to save it on the desired percentage of 100% or so it returns back to it's original size ;After I have saved it as a new copy (image) with a new name.I have tried all the possibilities to save it within the larger size. Even by printer. Everything was in vain.But once it is transferred to the documents files it goes back to the original size.

I've got a hi-res tiff image (5031x3579 px) which I need to use as a background on a very large print (2500 mm x2500 mm, 300 dpi). I placed the original image in InDesign and had to enlarge it by approx 800% to fit the canvas. Effective dpi ended up at 35dpi. This, no suprise, looks **** when viewed at 50-100%, so I thought maybe it would be better to resize the image in photoshop before placing it in InDesign. Well, I did do that and ended up with an image with a huge filesize (2,5 Gb) before saving it as a tiff again. I noticed that many of the save as options didn't come up, only tiff, Large image format and native PS. I still dont know what the final file size will be... still waiting for it to finish processing.
The method I used for enlargement was: Image size -> resample - bicubic smoother (best for enlargement) - in three steps, 200% up - 200% up - 150% up.
What is the best way using photoshop CS6? I know I will loose quality, but want to minimize the apparent loss the best way.

I'm wanting to put up some pictures in my "study" that are influencing, read it in a magazine, and I remember these. Looking on the web it seems everyone "wished they'd come up with this ad campaign".
I'd like to enlarge them to A4 size as well, just to put them in glass frames, I don't know how legal this is but I can't find anywhere that sells them on the web, or who actually made them ?
I don't really understand the enlarging process

I've always worked with Photoshop (CS3). However, I just upgarded to CS Cloud and want to learn how to work with SVG images.
Apparently, I can't open SVG images with Photoshop, so I open them in Illustrator and then export them in a format I can use on the web (usually .png or .jpg). I guess I should be able to publish images in the .svg format to the web, but I don't understand how to work with them yet.
Anyway, many of the SVG images I open in Illustrator are the size of the white rectangular area in the center of the workspace. If I save them as a .png, they're often 200-300 pixels wide, when I want them to be 500-600 pixels wide. So how do I enlarge them? I've typed "enlarge" and "resize" into search but haven't found anything useful.
Of course, I can enlarge the .png's, but they often become distorted. As I understand it, SVG files don't get distorted when they're enlarged, right?
Also, what's the best way to select a certain portion of an image and enlarge it?
On a sidenote, I tried exporting one SVG image as a TIFF, and it took forever to process, eventually crashing my computer.

I was sent an image from an i pad. It is only 320x240, 40kb and 72ppi. I tried in CS6 to enlarge it but anything over the initial image size is deeply blurred using Image or canvas in Image dropdown.
Can this be resolved to enlarge to 4x6, 5x7,8x10 with in CS6?

I'm Trying to make a Headshot. Using my (Epson Perfection 1260)Scanner, I scanned a Back and White(4"x6") Sharp Image Photo at (1200 dpi) and enlarged it to(7"x 9").
Using PhotoShop I Sharpend the Image. I printed at (1440 dpi) using Glossy Photo Paper with my "Epson Stylus Photo 750" Printer. The Image has turned out Grainy and not very clear as the original although it did manage to pickup up detail like lint on the photograph LOL.
I tried enlarging the image in PS and increased the amount of Pixels, instead of during the scanning process but that resulted in poorer quality image.
The Photos that remain the same size as the original turn out excellent photo quality images.
How do I enlarge a photo from a smaller image and maintain almost the same quality as the original? It seems I am losing resolution somewhere along the way.

Without blurring it?
Also, how do I enlarge it with percents (like so, if I want to enlarge an image by 200%, how would I do so?)
