Dear Helpers I have recently updated to Gimp 2.10 (under Ubuntu 18.04). I use Gimp extensively for processing photos. One very common problem is having the photo tilted by a few degrees. It is easy to straighten it using the rotate tool or the new way via the measurement tool. In Gimp 2.8 it used to be very easy to crop off any excess using the autocrop tool. However nothing I have tried works that way in Gimp 2.10.
I created a small image to demonstrate what happens. On the left is my "photo" a bit out of whack;). IN the middle is a screen shot of the image after rotation. The third is what I would like, which autocrop under Gimp 2.8 would create. In GImp 2.10, if I "crop to content" (under Image menu item) then I get an error message saying "cannot crop because the image is already cropped to content". Using "crop to selection" then the grey border inside the yellow dotted lines disappears which is what one would expect. I would like the crop to be such that it crops off the outer section plus all the transparent sections. I have searched for an answer but could not get the results as described in http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-user/20922-crop-to-selection-not-working Any help would be much appreciated:) Thanks Margaret Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/1059/original/Autocrophelp.jpg -- mgwong (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ 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
