Ok. I understood well the issue now.
I opened a bug report on our side:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790901
I can't ensure you this will be managed and fixed quickly. It depends
on the schedule and priorities of the developers. It may happen today
like it may take forever (sorry if that happens to be the case :-/).
But at least now it is in the system so we won't forget. Hopefully
someone will test soon.

By the way, how do you activate the on-screen keyboard in Windows?

Jehan

Re: [Gimp-user] problems with understand how to resize images properly

[Rick Strong]

Here's a trick that may--or may not--work for you.

WORD has a menu item under the "Mailings" tab that says "Labels". Click on 
this and you will be presented with a dialogue screen that allows you to 
enter the text--or a photo--for a single label, say an Avery 5160.


When you click "New Document" the text you have typed is repeated down and 
across the page in the correct places and the correct number of times for 
the label you have chosen. The action is called "Step & Repeat" in the 
trade.  For 5160 labels it is S'd 30 times. I Tried this with an 8" x 6" 
image and it automatically reduced the photo to fit on the label.


Whether this leaves you enough room to type text is another question. Play 
with the text wrap on the image. I suggest tight. While I think GIMP is a 
great program, sometimes there are other ways to solve a problem. The 
auto-label maker in WORD is a nice feature and can be used to print images 
on labels.


Cheers,
Rick S.

Subject: [Gimp-user] problems with understand how to resize images properly

Good Day!

I am a newbie learner to “” and I am trying to accomplish a series of steps, 
but

things just don’t seem to work out for me.

I have 2 problems, well more but I wont go into everything 

- Basically   I am trying to import a picture of varing sizes, and then 
resize

them to fit a specific size.

For example,  I am importing an image  that is 5” x 3”,   and wanting to 
print

it on a label,
So I need to be able to copy it out of GIMP, and past it into a Avery 
Shipping

Label template in Word.

I have been a little successful, but I am having issues with the sizes 
changing.


Steps I am completing.

1- Open Image.
2- Click menu “Image”  and then click Scale image
3- I assign the Size height as  1.30 inches  (because of the linked 
reference,

width defaults to  2.0 inches ISH
4- Resolution seems to imply its  76 x 76
5- And it seems like it works, though when I COPY and paste into Word and 
print.

The size is a little off.

However, I went on to the next picture, which ultimately was a desktop 
image ,

I completed the following

1- Open Image.
2- Click menu “Image”  and then click Scale image
3- I assign the Size height as  1.30 inches  (because of the linked 
reference,

width defaults to  2.0 inches ISH
4- Resolution seems to imply its  560 x 560  (don’t have the real numbers 
handy)

5- Then I copy it , and then Paste into Word.
6- When I look at the image in my template  the image height should be 1.3, 
but

its about 2.3.  and the width is also messed up.

I am confused. If I tell them image to be 1.3  why is it not listening?   I
understand there is a setting called Print size somewhere, but I am trying 
to

make the image  Size X, but something else is getting in the way.


I am hoping someone can give me an answer,  or maybe point me to a Youtube 
video

that goes over it.   I have watched about 6-8 tutorials, but I cant find
anything that  goes into that whole aspect of

Re: [Gimp-user] limiting the print size of a photo

[Richard]

This is correct, you will need to export separate image files with each one 
specifically resized to a desired physical size.


E.g. if you're sending the files at 300dpi, the 12x18" version will be 
3600x5400, while the 10x15 version will need to be scaled down to 3000x4500" 
before exporting, and the 6x4" version will be 1800x2700.  When you Scale the 
image down, check that your dpi setting (shown in the dialog) is correct, then 
for the target dimensions you can switch the unit-of-measure from pixels to 
inches to make specifying the target physical size more intuitive.


But yeah, you should be familiar with this already.


Oh, and of course NEVER save a lower resolution over the original 
(highest-resolution) version of the source file.  If in doubt, you might want 
to Duplicate the image and resize+export the copy instead of the original 
window.

For the restrictive "no bigger" that you likely have in mind, the answer
is: No.

Nothing will prevent anyone from printing any image at any size.

But you control the number of original pixels they get.

There is Image -> Scale to do this, but I assume you already know how to
scale images to any desired size in pixels.

The customers can scale the image up again, of course, and have the
interpolation method of their choice invent new pixels from what they
got. These do not necessarily look the same, so I guess this would
suffice to fulfill your goal.
