William, GIMP has a crop tool. Image Magick's convert tool also does cropping from the command line. -- Howard Gibson hgib...@eol.ca jhowardgib...@gmail.com http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk

Re: [GTALUG] How to cut out borders of image?
Using Gimp, use the box selector and select the image without the border. then "Image-> crop to selection", resave.

Re: [GTALUG] How to cut out borders of image?
The way I do this is to go to Image -> Canvas Size. I set the width to the correct dimension and then drag the picture in the preview back and forth until I am happy with where it is cut.

[GTALUG] How to cut out borders of image?
Not really Linux related except for the fact that GIMP in Linux. I have an image that is too large. I don't want to reduce the whole image. I just want to cut out left and right borders, like you would do with scissors. How do you do that with GIMP (I assume it would be GIMP thing). In Windows, I just move the left/right edges with mouse. Searching online for GIMP answers, I get things like transparent layer, selection layer, etc. :-( --William --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
