Normally one would expect 100% to be actual life size.just trying to find comfort with why that is not the case I was able to complete the exercise without mishap, and even pasted the 3 panels created with gimp into Libre Office A4 blank pages.without malfunction.just a little shocked with the scaling reported in gimp. Just curious, is this because my laptop's screen resolution is only 106 x 107 pixels? Setting the zoom to 100% resulted in an image that was orders of magnitude larger than lifesize (8.3 x 11.7 inches).

Question, As I was scaling-up the target image to match the 3508 pixels that an A4 document is 300 ppi.I noticed that the zoom control in gimp had shrunk the working image to 18.2 % of full size.

The Windows Gimp print is a bit flaky, sometimes best to use some other application for printing. Remember to Save your work as you go along, mishaps do occur. You will need to trim the margin's before glue-ing Use each of those new images to print on separate A4 sheets. Gimp 2.8 Use Image -> Transform -> Guillotine Gimp 2.10 Divide the image into three new images (for printing) Image -> Slice Using Guides. Image -> Guides -> New Guide (by percent)
That leaves a layer larger than the canvas so a tidy up Image -> Fit Canvas to Layers then Layer -> Layer to Image Size then Image -> Zealous Crop Result should be an image with a size around 3000 x 5000 pix. Use the Scale tool (shift-S) and the background layer as a guide to scale the layer as a 'fit' over the A4 background. Open a new image using the standard Gimp A4 template File -> New -> Template -> A4Īdd the image as a layer File -> Open as Layers However, using what is there, I might use a workflow such as:
Do you have a larger version ? To fit to A4 portrait 300 ppi the image will scale almost times four. That is on the small size and not wonderful quality. Try first on regular papers in "Draft" or "Low quality" mode to minimize the use of ink to check out if you'll be satisfied with the number of A4, (which should be something like "Poster Printing" 2x1 or 3x1 in your case, depending if it's landscape or portrait) > Advanced on my computer (I'm on Linux and certainly have a different printer than you, so it might look quite different on your computer)Īs you can see at "Multi-page" > "Poster Printing", your image can be printed on multiple A4 sheets, then you have to glue them together (with tape at the back for example) to get your full image
So, If I properly understood, what you might searching for is in your printer setting in the "advance" tab from GIMP / Print.

Is there such a feature somewhere or a method that achieves the same end?įirst I would do a better photo to flatten properly your image (if it's good enough for ebay >, it would better to re-do the picture for what you need) (and then press a button and have that area set aside as 'print selection 1 or something' or sent straight to the printer) If I could for instance move a rectangle across the image that represents the size of an A4 sheet at that resolution and increase/shrink the size of that rectangle as I pleased - while at the same time as I enlarge and shrink the area within it always represents what will be printed on an A4 page - then I'd be helped enormously, I think. Now I want to print it across a number of A4 sheets and I will stick them together. It is a photograph of what was a long rectangular piece of paper. What I mean is if you have an image which is too big or the wrong shape for printing on the paper you have in mind, say A4, then is there an easy way to select and maybe enlarge or shrink selections of that image in order to make a satisfactory print out?
