 when you are looking at the computer display, you are not seeing
 inches, you are seeing pixels.  complicated stuff -- sometimes i lose
 track of where i am and what resolution i should be working at.  every

 sucks on the user end, no matter what the application you are using.

yes, i tend to stick with the defaults as i haven't a clue really what is 
what.

i am looking at this now, to be honest it makes no sense to me. the 
default image grid i thought did something else (god knows what though).
confusing is the grid picture upper right, without knowing anything i 
would think this menu had something to do with changing the grids on 
images (i don't use grids, can't get the hang of them either). honestly 
that menu makes no sense to me at all.

the grid is changed via Preferences--Default Grid

this question was about how the rules measure the image.  if you can
work in pixels, i recommend it.

Hi,

Helen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

Whenever I try to resize a photo with the crop tool,
I have to stop and change pixels to inches.
How can I set inches as the default?

The crop tool should respect the unit used for the current
display. You can set that unit in the statusbar at the bottom of the
image window. I can't try right now if the crop tool gets this right.
So please report back if this doesn't work for you.

[Gimp-user] anyone using Epson stylus 2400 printer w/Linux?

I assume printers are a necessary tool for a Gimp user, hence my 
question on this list.
