When you select the crop tool, look at its tool box where you adjust a pixel at 
a time.

I figured it out...I am zooming in really really really really close and slowly
trimming the image to crop it. I was hoping there was an easier way, but this is
the best way. Thank you.

Re: [Gimp-user] Cannot open PSD -CMYK setting (Rick Strong)

[Rick Strong]

Klaus is right on when he says that the RGB colour gamut is wider than the 
CMYK gamut. Therefore some rgb colours will end up looking differently when 
printed in cmyk.


I found this website  http://www.printernational.org/rgb-versus-cmyk.php 
has a pretty good explanation with illustration of the difference. It also 
puts out good information about graphic design in general.

Hello,

for both topics of gimp-user-list Digest, Vol 62, Issue 17: use the open
source program Krita. It is an image manipulation program, natively built
for Linux, installers are also available for Windows and Mac OS X, that can
handle both ways, rgb to cmyk and cmyk to rgb. If it can handle psds I don´t
know. Notice: rgb to cmyk will often end up in dull colors, because the
color space cmyk is somewhat else than the colorspace of rgb - not all
colors of rgb are resembled in cmyk.

Crop fine details? What does that even mean? :)

You open an image.
You select the Crop tool.
You use it on whatever files you have.

What is the actual issue with cropping images? Please be more specific.

One way might be to use select by colour (shift-O) on the gold until
you have all of it. You might need to deselect the human outline on the
left. To do that,
(1) in tool options, with select-by-colour active, reduce the threshold
probably to 1 or 2
(2) hold control down and click in that outline, on one of the whitish
lines.
This may leave 1-pixel holes in the selection of the gold. That's OK,
grow your selection by 1 pixel. select->grow.

Now feather the selection by 1 pixel (select->feather) to blur the
edges slightly.

Now, if you have your patten as a layer in the image below the main
part, edit->cut will make holes in the top layer and you'll see through
to the pattern. If it just makes the gold solid background colour,
undo, show the layers dock (control-l), right-click on the layer's name
and "add alpha channel" which is gimp-jargon for "allow transparency on
this layer". Then do the cut again.

An alternative is to use the bucket fill tool and fill with pattern.
You can have the pattern open as anothe image and do edit->select all
(control-a) and then edit->copy (control-c), and then go back to the
main image and one of the patterns in the Tool Options dock for the
bucket fill tool will be the clipboard.

You might give this online convertor a try:
http://www.cmyk2rgb.com/

"WELCOME TO THE ONLINE CMYK TO RGB CONVERTER With this free online tool you
can convert images from CMYK to RGB color space using a professional color
profile."

You upload a file, JPG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, they convert it and send it back to
you--free. Maximum file size: 10MB

Gimp is a RGB raster editor and is not the best tool for creating a suitable
file from a PS CMYK template.

The CMYK file needs to be converted to RGB first.

Subject: [Gimp-user] Question about RGB to CMYK conversion and print
work
Message-ID: <582b8f7d.6070...@comcast.net>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

I'm helping a friend of mine create a business card for a new business. 
I created the card in GIMP and it looks great!  The plan is to order
cards through VistaPrint.   Anyway, according to the VistaPrint website,
they recommend uploading designs in a CMYK mode.   Since I created my
card in GIMP, it's in RGB mode.

Would it be safe to convert my image from RGB to CMYK, using ImageMagick for
example, or should I recreate it using a different tool, like
Scribus?  I'm a Linux user.   Alternatively, I could send the image to a
friend who has PhotoShop and have her convert the image to CYMK mode for me.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!

Peace...

Tom

[Gimp-user] DETAIL Cropping/Editing!

[AFareStory]

Hey guys, I am trying to find the best way to crop VERY detailed images
(10-100MB)?! I can bounce them down to J-Pegs with FastStone, and GIMP has
always been my photo editing favorite, BUT, I can't figure out the best way to
crop very fine details?! Which tool should I use? Thank you for any insight you
might have.

[Gimp-user] Replace Gold Splotches

[lanierprintables]

Can someone tell me if/how I can use Gimp to replace the goldish splotches with
my own pattern? I've been able to get the pattern into Gimp. But can't figure
out if I can replace the splotches and dots with it. Any input is greatly
appreciated!!!

[Gimp-user] Cannot open PSD -CMYK setting

...snip...

All sorts of ways.

Just a note for ***Windows*** users.

As of ImageMagick (IM) version 7 the 'convert' command becomes the 'magick'
command.

This is to prevent a conflict with an existing Windows 'convert' command.

It is documented at the bottom of the IM download page.

...but who ever gets down that far...

I'd recommend to not fiddle with it now. Vistaprint will do their own
conversion, which is likely to be better than your conversion, since
they do know their own processes.

In fact I had lots of "fun" some time ago, where I absolutely sent them
a CMYK PDF file and they still fiddled with it, adding a little bit of
black to my vibrant yellow, resulting in quite dull colors...
