Dear All,

I am using the gimp that came with my Suse 8.2. I would like to save some photos at 300% magnification but I cannot seem to figure out how to do that. Does anyone know how to do that? I know how to magnify but I cannot get it saved at any magnification higher thatn 100%. I probably will want to save them as jpeg at 300% although the extension does not matter that much to me.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Marcia

I would like to some photos at 300% magnification Quick answer: Right click on the image, select "image" from the menu,

Good morning Marcia (and list :)), then select "scale image". In both of the "ratio" boxes, enter the number "3". Click ok. Your image is 300% larger. Longer answer:The original image is a certain number of pixels (dots) in width and height. To magnify it, we effectively need to create more pixels, so we do this by scaling. (Scaling is basically another word for "measuring" or "measurements" with respect to an original size). There are a number of ways of working out what the final image will look like. Some interpolate (work out by estimating the bits between the original rows and columns), others extrapolate (work it out by expanding existing pixels) and there are many more ways besides! I always use cubic as it seems to work best for me Hope some of this helped. By the way, if you update to a later version of gimp, you can click on the "image" menu directly instead of right-clicking on the image first. :) Jon
