Hello Micheal. I'll look into GIMP later today, when I get to the studio. So from what I've read, I have to convert what I want the end result to be, i.e. size crop and dpi to pixels, and use that number to achieve the desired size crop? I can provide a sample image but of course they would all vary on the end target with regard to a crop. My editing for my images are relatively minimal in nature. I crop 8x10 Tweak contrast if desired I use the gradient tool [foreground to transparent] in all 4 corners usually I sharpen them Save to .jpg for my lab to print proofs. Done. I guess I can make up a cheat sheet and stick it on the wall for all my usual crops for orders to determine pixel count. 16x20's 11x14's 8x10's 5x7's 4x5's etc... -- SayCheeze (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
