"GIMP question for Grogan or MrMan." Sun Sep-21-03 03:48 PM by _Chewy_
or anyone with some GIMP expertise. Below is the wallpaper that I have been trying to edit. I'd like to move the whole picture up about 30 pixels, so that the sky (light blue portion) fills up the entire top portion of my monitor. I'm sure there's a way to do this in GIMP but being a GIMP newbie - i just can't figure it out. TIA.
EDIT:
Better yet, how can i copy just the top 1" of the pic, and have it adjoining the top border of the current photo so that the blue sky covers the entire top portion of my screen?

First, go to Image -> Canvas Size, click on the chain so you're not constrained to the aspect ratio, put in the new height you want, drag the box under "Offset" to the bottom, and press OK. Then, click on Layers -> Layer to Imagesize and use the clone tool to clone the top portion of the sky (or select a strip and scale it up with the transform tool).

Wow what a powerful program - it's a bit of a learning curve for sure but this it packs a lot of powerful features. For a program thats free, i can't believe all the things you can do w/ this.
Just for kicks, i edited that pic using Photoshop Light and Gimp does a better job. Even just opening the pic, Gimp does a better job at keeping the quality of the jpeg intact whereas the lossyness was very apparent with photochop.
I recommend it highly 4 those of you who haven't tried it yet.

Grokking the GIMP is an excellent guide to GIMP. It includes a lot of material oriented to making you understand not only how to do something in GIMP, but also why and when, it's old , but the transitition to the latest gimp should be easy.
