GIMP is a free application for Windows, Mac or Linux users with most of the capabilities you would find in Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo and other expensive photo editing applications.
#GIMP PHOTO CROP PROFESSIONAL#
Sounds like that simply didn't work.Do you want a professional application to edit & retouch your photos? And do you want it for free? I was trying to limit the amount of information in the screen shots, thinking that might make it less confusing.
#GIMP PHOTO CROP HOW TO#
Especially when I didn't know how to (properly) describe what seemed to be happening. Uniform size border or retain aspect ratio. I can get #4 easily with the Image -> Canvas size by adding to the initial values or multiplying factor to the initial values depending on what I want. Size of the layers (obviously different as shot 1 & 2 are single layer 3 & 4 are two layers) Canvas size with width / height linked not linked. Crop with delete cropped pixels on or off. So many things in your work flow affect the result. When posting screenshots of issues include the tool options and layers in the images.

What might be the rationale for doing that?Īnyway, glad to now know how to do what I've always done in the past. Looks like that means the way it has always worked in the past became a new option. Well now! That does appear to explain it. (There is anew feature since ? to delete /just not show those pixels) (10-07-2021, 05:23 PM)nelo Wrote: Have you set your crop tool to delete the cropped pixels? However, that did NOT happen for GIMP 2.10.28 so it was decided to report the problem. While the same investigation was NOT performed on GIMP 2.10.24, recollection is that the same thing happened but it was easy to revert to using the older version of GIMP thinking this problem would get resolved going forward. The only difference between the GOOD and BAD scenario is the version of GIMP being used. The file named G21018desired.jpg (4 of 4) shows the desired/intended result. My guess is that if it had been changed the same unpredictable result may have occurred for the height as well. Note: when the crop was performed in this case the height was NOT changed. If you perform Image>Canvas Size the height is what was expected but the width does NOT correspond to anything recognizable. That is when the strange/BAD results first appear as shown in the attached file named G21028error.jpg (3 of 4). I typically add a transparent layer after which it becomes necessary to use the Image>Fit Canvas To Layers operation in order to fill that layer with a background color. To add such a background involves creating a new/larger layer which is offset in such manner that it surrounds the image/photo/picture. However, I commonly add a Background Layer to my photos which fit the size of the paper intended for printing and provide a border of my choosing which means preferred color and some times includes text. If you look at things like Image>Canvas Size, Image>Print Size, Image>Scale Image what is displayed in the number of pixels in the cropped image.
In the BAD case I'm NOT sure exactly what it corresponds to but my guess is that it is the size/shape of the original image before cropping. In the GOOD case it corresponds to the size/shape of the new image produced by the crop operation. Notice the difference in the yellow dashed rectangle (whatever that might be called). The attached file named G21028cropped.jpg (2 of 4) displays what I call a strange result (i.e., BAD). Now do the same thing using GIMP 2.10.28. The attached file named G21018cropped.jpg (maybe 1 of 4) displays the result, which is what I've always been accustomed to when using GIMP (i.e., GOOD result). Start by opening an image file using GIMP 2.10.18.
Therefore, I've produced some screenshots that display what I'd call the first sign of a problem. I'm NOT confidant when it comes to proper terminology for describing what happens. This problem first arose when I upgraded from GIMP 2.10.18 to GIMP 2.10.24 but I now find also exists in GIMP 2.10.28, which in this case is being run on Windows.
