There's no OneDrive integration in GIMP, however if you have OneDrive installed and linked to your account, the files should appear in C:\Users\\OneDrive (you can just click your username in the Open dialog to go there directly), where GIMP will be able to open them. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
[Gimp-user] How to recognize an on-line drive
Using G.I.M.P. 2.10.12, newly downloaded. I store all my files on One Drive. I've created files from another computer using 2.8, and I want to finish my work on them on this computer. But I can't find any way to ask GIMP to search for files on One Drive. Is there a way to do this? I don't want to have to re-save everything to my computer. -- David_Todd (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Thank you so much, Liam, for your complete, clear cut explanations. As you can tell, I do need exact steps to try to accomplish this. I've printed this page and, hopefully, can follow your directions. Thank you!

Is that size the original quality from PDF, or >it is the >default from gimp? > >Thank you and i wish you understood my question. There are some things to remember for a PDF. It is a 'finished' format meant for viewing or printing. The document size, A4 , US Letter...is a property. For printing pixels-per-inch (ppi aka dpi) has an effect but not always an easy way to determine the original size. see screenshot https://i.imgur.com/g8IP95S.jpg Scanned documents in particular can have various original ppi. A PDF document can be in forms, vectors or a bitmap ( say a scanned image) or a mix, image a bitmap + text. Gimp is not always the best tool, It might be possible to open in some other application and copy an image "as original" to Gimp . This example using LibreOffice https://i.imgur.com/a9N3Mtx.jpg but not if the document comes from a scan. Gimp is a bitmap editor. Open a PDF in Gimp and it is converted to 100% bitmap regardless of original format. Open a PDF in Gimp and the default ppi is 100. For quality, change this to 300 ppi. Only need a specific page? Then select just that page. screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/OH5Sw2s.jpg Then use the rectangular select tool, position and size over the image, Edit -> Copy for the contents. Edit -> Paste-As -> New image. Export that as required. Not the same size in pixels as an extracted image? All depends on the ppi. -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list

Hello Carlos I guess there are many ways to do the saving of images in gimp from a pdf, This is the way I do mine when you load the pdf in gimp 1-use the 'Resolution' tumbler up arrow (RS) to increase the size of images, I go for a height of 5000 px using (RS) that gives a good size image and spare size to crop if needed, 2-now you image size is worked out - click open pages as 'images ' if you want to use each one separately if you chose layers all the pages will be in one image as layers 3-select only the pages you want to use or select all and 'import' 4-the image files will show up as tabs and do what you want then 5-then lastly use 'export as' NOT 'overwrite pdf', when exporting I choose png format holds more info at higher Mb'sinc alpha channel instead of jpeg unless you want smaller file size Is this what you needed I did the step by step only to explain the way works for me, Good luck Hope this helps -- fa-flyingalone (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
