Re: [Gimp-user] fixed ratio selection
Hi Jina, Jina wrote: looking for a way to make fixed ratio selections, such as H/W=1.5 for instance. My purpose is to crop photos to eliminate unwanted parts, while keeping the same H/W ratio from the original. can someone help ? Yes - in the rectangular selection tool's options, you have an option to constrain the aspect ratio of the selection. If you pu W=3, and H=2, then your rectangular selections will be constrained to 1.5. You can then use the Crop from selection option of the crop tool, or alternatively call Image-Edit-Crop directly.

Re : [Gimp-user] Reducing file size
If you use save as and set the extension to jpg, it will ask you for the quality level of the saved jpeg file. You can click the preview check-box to see what you are doing. Just near this box you can see the size of the generated file. Change the quality with the ruler until the size is near what you want. (the size update is not really real time but this is not a problem). -- Regards - Jean-Luc Le 17.12.2003 15:05, cbnrm.biz a écrit : |I have a jpg file, a photo, that I need to reduce from 152 K to max. |30 K before I can upload it to a web site.
