Yes to that: imagemagick is the right tool for resizing lots of images at once and/or adding watermarks to them. Still, if you are going to edit each image individually in the GIMP to get that oval, it might be just as convenient to make the watermark on an otherwise transparent layer, save that as a file of its own, and drag+drop to add it to each image before saving. In re cropping, I think what you probably want to do is make your oval selection, and do Image > Crop To Selection. That gives you the rectangle. Then do Select > Invert followed by Edit > Delete to delete everything in the rectangle except your oval. (The usual keyboard shortcut for invert selection is control+i, for delete is control+x.) You can choose the color of the "deleted" area by setting it as the background color in your color selector tool, if the image / layer you are working on does not have an alpha channel. The alpha channel in a layer or image enables transparency; with no alpha channel, anything you delete will turn into the background color. If the image / layer you are working on has an alpha channel, you will get a transparent background instead. This is a frequently used option for non-rectangular image content that will be displayed on websites. To add or remove the alpha channel from your image or layer, right click on the thumbnail in the Layers dialog and select "Add alpha channel" or "Remove alpha channel". To preserve a transparent background in your finished image, export the finished image in PNG format. Saving as JPG (for instance) will turn the transparent areas into the background color that is set at the time, as JPG does not support transparency. :o) Steve -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUKHAXAAoJEDZ0Gg87KR0LcU8QAOjNHfiBZZn3gan/GruobDtu NfXMJZNdfgjkPEGgUk4q+c1wxW04qO2eFTKdXmiEcEhZDdlLEjf9cz3CXHtd5lMz mCJC0XMcOAZ32iBedxjPST8okMpEX2kCpvmMtXYvWoqyzbehaN+zCtctuZsey704 44+BohzAHVSLH9bhu5iB2v9ku1e2/zNHz7ld8+nT2791rPGNGh0MDFn58lxlA5Gz cRUDPMqSQ1vQ2KLbW21n6d0egrbGlJiDcIApyTJDX9GQ2NvEDhojidZeBZnIqqED Dn+DbLMdxtiVND0L7EfqWulj+mK0uP+WTvM0Xw85Dmcqpu9f5XkTvPHVKqpxCn6k E6RZG7NBZTYkqCb8GT3YQbOGPnRPPLFh6KfHEpr9GGJYW+8Jt2HTRoPeAt2GXSHw 0wrySRDcynhwRbkAAMtbjfjowcUM6Whhh89eK9D9bH+8w4Jm4OLkW0ekJsmKLP3l dbkaxIZt6APqRQZdKgvV0xpmWmgcjpmFeKhuUosxSTjRoXvRg6NV0AU/w3gGIDc+ hMEKgIIPH45kZEB7PM9AYdilLvRGjatzkRv3azi74zI1ApUr/+yWovDx/NED5GK6 9pTifYnOv9kMdMjF6uMkWfruCX8OMy/rNqNcU0TzVkmpOx6oIJkYWg5EJjBQGVuq tP5c0mX9iH/4aRYzFmvh =lrRu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
