There are two available versions. 1.3.3.12 which is stable and 1.3.5-svn which is the development version I suggest you try and get the 1.3.5 version as it will be ok for photo layouts, but more importantly, has inbuilt filters to touch up photos, (or you can still us the gimp) Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Second, I wrote a Script-fu a while back which adds a command (Filters-Map-Mosaicize) which will arrange all of the layers in grid. I have added the script, and tried it out. It works fine, but my images have predefined 'print size' which is 5.5cmx5.5cm but different 'pixel size'. So I get a matrix with images of different size. I am not sure how to go about this problem? Can I explicitly control the size of the input (5.5cmx5.5cm) and the output (A4,21cmx29.7cm)?

Re: [Gimp-user] several images combined in a single file
Dear All, I am using GIMP 2.6.1 on Ubuntu 8.10 I wonder if there is a way to combine a few images in one file, so that they will be placed side by side (something like tiles) in columns spanning across several rows? All images are of the same size which is predefined (7cm x 7cm). I want to print them as a single file. It looks like a trivial problem, but I cannot find a solution. Suggestions? How many images? Say there are 10 images and you want two rows. File-New and set the size of the new image to 35cmx14cm and white background Then add 10 layers, name the layers picture1-picture10 Go to your first image and copy it Select the first layer and paste it Then position it The anchor it Then do image 2 on layer 2 as the active layer etc until all is done Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
