I need copy a lot of elements from original image to new image in template: should I paste every element as new layer? -- kvasar (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

It's a bit tricky: I need retain existing image resolution and size of all artwork and text inside that rounded card, the size of image is a little smaller than the size of green bleed line. So, in order to get edge to edge printing, I want extend only backround to all 4 sides of image to cover bleed line.

I need extend background pattern up to green bleed line. Existing artwork size is inside rounded rectangle and should be used 1:1, without scaling/expanding.

I need make some basic image editing, preferably in nondestructive way. I have template with guidelines and image (.tif), I opened both as separate layers. I need crop rectangular selection from image and place it into the template. Should I trim image or make selection, copy and paste it into the template? Also, I want make rectangular selection on template and fill it with pattern. How to make this? -- kvasar (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
