I tried this tip with an image to fit my iphone screen, but when I croped it to 320x480 the crop became smaller, along with the image. I wanted to crop a part of the image without distorting it, do you understand? How shall I do it?

[GIMPtricks]

@DuDaX Are you sure it was zoomed to 100%? Because what you're saying doesn't make sense. If you crop to 320x480 there shouldn't even a be a "rest of the image" when you're done.

You can set your crop tool to 320x480 in the tool options and crop any part of the image to that size.

@GIMPtricks I will try it again, If I fail I'll PM you, is that ok? ;)

[GIMPtricks]

@DuDaX You're better of going to gimpchat [dot] com. When you can get help for not just me but many others.

@TheBluefly20 If I were a sales clerk at Sherwin Williams I'd want to lash out at people on the internet too. *hugs*

This is one of the best recordings of someone using GIMP I've ever seen. You zoom in on the mouse at the right time.

One thing to work on could be your accent? (Nothing wrong with having an accent, I love people with accents :D)

Although, I'm sure a lot has changed in the last 3 years since you posted this video. I'll have a look at the other ones.
