Resizing pictures with Gimp

Here is a solution quite simply to implement with Gimp (free pictures editing software, with a GPL licence)in order to crop and/or resize a picture.

Prerequisites:
  • Activate the external call to Gimp (refer to the "calling external tools" chapter).
Implementation:
  1. In jBrout, right-click on the picture you want to modify, then select the “Edit with Gimp” option from the “External tools” submenu in order to open the picture in Gimp.
  2. In Gimp, select the “Crop”  (or Shift+C, or “Tools”/”Transform Tools”/”Crop & Resize” from the menu).
  3. Select the whole picture: move the mouse cursor to the upper left corner (coordinates: 0,0), press the left button and while holding it, move the cursor to the down right corner, then release the button.
  4. If desired, open the “Tool options” window: in the “GIMP” window, select the “Tool options” option from the “File”/”Dialogues” menu/submenu.
  5. Click on “Keep aspect ratio” in the “Tool options” window.
  6. Resize the picture.
  7. Save the picture (“Save” option from the “File” menu)
  8. Exit Gimp (CTRL+Q).
