Re: [Gimp-user] 8x10 photo without cropping...

[jenn golden]

Thanks!  I ended up uploading the original image, then used the website
that is going to make the 8x10 to figure out where it was going to be
cropped - then took my gimp creation and adjusted accordingly - at least
now I know!  :)

I am assuming you're asking it this way too because you saved it as a
flattened version of your work? I mean, if you have a version of it
with all the layers as live text and added graphics still separate,
you could just save or copy out another of the background pic and
scale or resize to your wishes, and then re-add and size or position
the text and/or graphics according to taste, right?
Hoping you did save with layers intact somewhere.

Hello,

I know, this might be a little bit too much for someone new to the 
program, but one of the better ways to do it would be installing and 
using the liquid rescale-plugin  
(http://liquidrescale.wikidot.com/).
It will scale the image instead of cropping it, so there won't be 
anything cut or borders added in. But other than the normal scale-tool, 
it tries to detect important parts of the image (like faces or text) and 
keeps their proportion the same.

Feel free to email me if you decide to do it this way and need some help.

bw,
Tobl

from 4x6 to 8x10 is different ratio and either you loose some picture or
have blank space.  4x6 expands to 8x12 or 6.67x10  An option, save your
additions to a layer and shrink the layer to the dimentions to fit the
intended size and merge the layer to 8x10

without carnival mirror type distortion, there is no easy change from 4x6
to 8x10.
