![]() ![]() GIMP offers me a “Canvas Size…” tool, a “Print Size…” tool, and a “Scale Image…” tool. When you say, “reduce the resolution”, what about the image do you want to change, and what GIMP tool are you using to do it? GIMP lets you do several different modifications to images, and it helps to be very clear about what modification you want to do. If it isn’t then I’ve got other things to do. I’m thinking this should be quick and easy. ![]() Whip waving and stern voice can be arranged but do cost much more. If you like doing that sort of thing email me and I’ll look at posting my cover art to you for only a minimal charge. So the file size remains the same.Ĭan anyone offer cookbook/recipe instructions on how to shrink the size of the exported PNG file when using GIMP?Īnd no I wont be doing anything else, like output to jpeg, color balancing, use ImageMagik, use the command line, etc, etc, etc. Gimp just automatically increases the dimensions of the image when I do this. I reduce the resolution to 300ppi using GIMP. Cropping to outside of cover art image to leave maximal information for later users.(Gimp does not provide a handy on-image right-angle to facilitate accuracy in this.) ![]() I’m scanning at 600ppi in a sometimes futile attempt to reduce moire pattern. One image file of 39MB made it into the CAA last time. My attempts to reduce the file size down to something around 2 MB are patchy at best.
