Re: [GTALUG] How to cut out borders of image?

[William Park via talk]

Thanks.  Easiest was "rectangular selection, crop to selection, resave". 
 Also worked was "copy/paste of rectangular selection", which would be 
inverse.

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,

   GIMP has a crop tool. 

   Image Magick's convert tool also does cropping from the command line.

Using Gimp, use the box selector and select the image without the border.
then "Image-> crop to selection", resave.

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?

[William Park via talk]

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).

online for GIMP answers, I get things like transparent layer, selection 
layer, etc. :-(
