Gimp Tutorial - Resizing and Cropping Images for your website

The Gimp is a great free tool at www.gimp.org that can be used to re-size and crop images to put them on your MLDS website. Smaller images download faster and most images right out of a digital camera or scanner are much to large. This video will show how you can use the gimp to make those images ready

i followed your steps to crop an image. The result was an image with a cropped image at the center and surrounding white space. That's not really a cropping isn't it?

[palen12]

Yeah, the reason for this was a change in gimp. In older versions when you hit 'File->New' the size of the new canvas was the same as the cut image in your paste buffer. They changed this in newer versions. So this shortcut does not work anymore. Sorry, You will need to use the more complicated Crop tool.

If you want I could post an update on how to do that if you like?

Ah, this tutorial really helped me for my sending my art portfolio!! Thank you!!

@DaCookieDragon Ah well don't resize the image then, just use gimps built in zoom, yes it is going to look really bad, make your edits, but when you zoom back out to 100% it will look fine. Again don't use image resize, if you do you will get bad quality.

@DaCookieDragon I am going to need more information than that. In general blowing up raster images (jpg, png, etc) will always look bad as you make them larger. If you can get them in a vector format (svg, ps, etc) you should not have a problem.

You can just use the crop tool to crop. Crop, hit enter and you're done.
