So, I have an A4 sized scanner and I need to scan in an A3 sized page. I can scan the page in two seperate sections, but how can I combine those two imagines using Gimp so that it's like the original?
Taking a photo has been tried, but it doesn't have the quality I want.
Several times a week I need to take a PDF (single-page doc), then convertto a page-sized PNG with quality good enough to read the text (and atransparent border), and then convert to a SWF. I have a PNG-to-SWFutility, but when I used it on the PNG saved after I opened my PDF andexported from GIMP, the end result was not good enough. A co-worker saidGIMP couldn't make a PNG (w/transparency) with enough quality. He said we'dhave to use some other software. Part of the issue was not being able toresize without losing quality before the PNG export. True or false?

1.Problem is if i use the ruler it shows that my image is only about 40mm wide even though the size boxes at the top clearly say it is 50mm?!!! see image
2. Is there an automatic way to fill apage with a specified sized image eg labels as the Impostion tab maxes out at 4x4(16up)?
I scanned it in 3 scans at 300 dpi and pieced it together in photoshop...
Now I want to be able to put it on my website, with the text readable of
course. So what would be my best approach here.. a pdf might be okay, but it's also nice for the web user not to have to view a pdf file especially if they do not have the reader ...
I look at my 8.5" x 11.0" document in Gimp and it looks fine.
However, when it prints it is smaller than indicated and not centered.
It has taken me a week, but I can finally cut and paste .pdf text into a .jpeg image document.
I am printing super high res images onto fabric. My print guy has instructed me to create my images in 1440 dpi and my fabric is 58 inches wide and about 80 yards long. I need to create ONE image so they can just print it continuously along the whoe piece of fabric. So I need to create a REALLY BIG image. They have recommended Adobe Creative Suite, but of course I want to do it with GIMP.
Just today, I installed the latest GIMP, and it doesn't seem to be letting me create even a 58x72 inch image in 1440 dpi. Is there an add on or a way that I can create huge tiff files in GIMP?.....or do I have to shell out the cash and get Creative Suite?
is there a setting that i can have whatever i scan automatically open up in gimp when i scan it...? it would save maybe 2 steps in my daily drill.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI take a picture of a document (text printed on a white piece of paper), which I then load in gimp. There, I can rotate, rescale and cut out the document. What I want to do in addition is to whiten the background, so it looks like if I had used a copy-machine to scan the document.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat are the exact A4 dimensions I need to put in Gimp in order for my page to print exactly a4.
I've tried (In Gimp) the a4 dimensions 210 x 297mm but it prints slightly smaller than those dimensions.
I have created a document, and when I printed it out to see how it turned out, I noticed that I left margins on all four sides. I need the document to fill the page in its entirety, as it is going to be one of those "tear off the phone number at the bottom" type of advertisements.
Is there some way that I can "zoom in" everything that I've created, so it fills an entire 8.5x11 piece of paper?

I have an existing drawing (A3 size) which loads with a mottled grey background for some reason (looks fine when printed).
I want to select a couple of small rectangles and put them on another page. Perhaps another possibility could be if I could save my selections as separate files (if this were possible) then I could use the "Open as Layers" method which is well described in this forum.
I have a single image which I want to print 6 to a sheet. Basically 3 rows and 2 columns. I was told in one step how to do this and have forgotten. All i had to do was enter the percentage 200 x 300. Just don't remember which function did this.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I first open Gimp I get a blank page, there's no template I have to create or anything, but when I try to open a new page to adjust other images it make me create a template, even deleting the background layer it starts with gets me an alpha channel.
Is there a way to open a new Gimp window without having to create a template? Like for pasting images into?
I am working on a 44-page document, opening a pdf in GIMP. I've never done anything like this before yet have taught myself how to work page to page, insert images between the text blocks on each page, resize the images and position them where I want, even in more than one layer. (That in a couple of days, me a novice! HOWEVER, after working hours on my project, thinking I was saving as I went, I discovered after the fact that I was only saving the highlighted page, not the entire document. I lost all my work, twice! Luckily I had only gotten through page 7.
The project requires me to need to see all the pages, sometimes to backtrack to reposition an image in order to achieve a consistent flow. At the end I will save as a pdf, flattening all images. In the interim, I need to be able to get back in, day-to-day, to continue the detailed work.
PS. I'm using Gimp 2.8 on a MacBook 10.6.8. And yes I know to save as .xcf while the work's in progress.
I am trying to print in landscape on a 5x7. In Image I change print size to 5x7 with no problem. In Page Setup I change from A4 to 5x7, select landscape and click OK. I double check and its restored all settings back to A4. If I print I get half my image in portrait.
The page setup does not appear to accept my changes, why?
I'm coming from paint.net, which is bloating tif images to the extreme......I work on tif's for work (engineering revisions) as well as multi-page tifs.Needless to say, I need to get up to speed on Gimp as fast as possible, as work places don't like a learning curve The image editor used by others is atrocious.
I see the Gimp will open multi-page tifs, but how do I save them back as multi-page? Or is this not possible?
And how do I go about drawing a filled rectangle? A good deal of my work is digitally "whiting out" things on technical drawings. I see the brush tool, but not a filled rectangle.
How do you bring up a blank page so you can copy the selection in your first page and copy it into a blank page to make a PNG file?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm building a site with WordPress and installed a plugin that will create a slider of images on the front page. For each image, there is specific text that goes with the image (just a simple quote). If it's possible to use Gimp to add text to the side of an image and not actually on the image?
Here's a link to the front page of the site that I'm attempting to add the text to. Currently, the photos are there and you will see the blank space next to the images. This blank space is where I would like to add the text. I've contacted the creator of the plugin and there is no way of doing this from within the plugin, itself.

I have a 4 page PDF file created from a Word text.
I'm managed to create an *animated* JPEG of all 4 pages of that PDF.
I don't know how to create a static JPEG as one file of all 4 pages of that PDF - so it's not animated?
I would like to digitize my son's text book. But the scanner would take longer time than taking pictures by camera out of the book. However there is a downside. The photographed page is curly (see attachment). What to do in order to get the flat page?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to load single pages from multi page tiffs, convert them to monochrome (dithered), flatten the image, then save them as single monochrome, ccitt group4 tiffs. - all through scripts.
The multipage tiffs contain pages in grayscale and color which were created using the old style (problematic) JPEG compression option.
I have tried other tools, such as libtiff (modified with a patch to handle the old jpeg compression), and the latest version of imagemajick. Unfortunately they cannot correctly convert the files, whereas gimp can, but only one page of the multi-page tiff at a time(gimp crashes if I load a 5page document (as separate images) then convert each image to monochrome,flatten and save in one session)
the scripting function for loading tiffsfile-tiff-load does not expose the options to load individual pages, or to select loading as images or as layers, which the visual file load/import does.
How I can achieve this using a script.? Manually is not a problem, but too time consuming for large (eg. 200page) tiffs.

I am trying to get the white background changed to yellow to match the web page. I have followed the instructions in the GIMP manual for bucket fill, Foreground Select Tool, edit>fill with fg or bg color. Nothing works. The only color I can get is black when the fg/bg option is black. In the toolbox I have changed both fg and bg to yellow. Still no change. I would like to change a new canvas to the yellow bg color and then copy and paste my image onto it.
I'm trying to compose an image of an open book. I want to place an image I have into the book [URL]
So, I want to know how I could "bend" the image so that it lays on the curved page of the book properly, appearing as if it is part of the page itself.
I edited a picture that involved a layer, it asked me to save it as a jpeg picture which I did. Now I cannot find the picture I edited or the original picture. It comes up as a white page. What did I do wrong and what can be done to revert it.
