It still used pixels outside the selection in computing the new pixel values in the desired region. In this case, those values were zero, so that lightened the region at the edges. I think there may still be some way to do it using layers, but I haven't figured out how.

[Gimp-user] Sizing pictures
8x10 is close to square (closer than a 4x6). Can you image viewer tell you the size and verify that it is 2400x3000?

What I tried this morning must have worked because its 3000 x 2400 at 300 dpi. It's just that it looks square in my photo previewer. I also checked out that Truespace software and have to say that looks pretty amazing. My wife tried to download it this evening but something went wrong. I've just started the 3rd and final part of the download (videos) now and will install in the morning. Thanks again, Greg -- Greg (via www.gimpusers.com) -- Greg (via www.gimpusers.com) I don't know but I will look into it. Sorry for disappearing. Was some important business to get done this past week. Have to figure it out today. Last chance to enter. Was not able to get Truespace to work. Will give that a try again some time soon.

Re: [Gimp-user] Tool Options and finding a resource
Hi David, GimpUsers, Whether it's the Font on the Text Tool, or Brush on the Paint Tool, or Pattern Fill on the Bucket Tool, scrolling through the lists is slow and sensitive. I tried typing the first letter of font, brush, or pattern in the list but that doesn't seem to work. I didn't precede it with any alternate key (shift, ctrl, alt). What is the best (fastest :-)) way to get to, or position yourself, to the resource? Press Ctrl-F (or Ctrl-S, it depends on your GTK+ keybindings) in the list view to open the search field, then enter the first letter(s). I must say -- we need to promote this in the GIMP documentation! (particularly in conjunction with the tagging functionality) Personally, if I had known this, I would have hardly needed to wait for tagging, as I'd already included categorization in the gradient + pattern naming This definitely works in the Tools (list view), like Text Tool, Blend Tool, Paintbrush Tool. Nice! Just what I was looking for. But it doesn't work in the Dialogs, like Font Dialog, Gradients Dialog, Brushes Dialog. Thank you. -- __ DJ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Re: [Gimp-user] Sizing pictures
Hi Greg, GimpUsers, Trying to get the second picture done and it keeps getting squashed. That is, my short plump bird is now tall and thin. Any thoughts? I haven't followed all the responses to this thread, but take a gander at these two items, depending on which action is occurring: Scale - You can set the Width and the Height you want to give to your image by adding or removing pixels. If the chain icon next to the Width and Height boxes is unbroken, the Width and Height will stay in the same proportion to each other. If you break the chain by clicking on it, you can set them independently, but this will distort the image. http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-image-scale.html Crop - Aspect Ratio http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-tool-crop.html -- __ DJ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
