I am trying to change an image to 2688x1242.
But GIMP changes to 2688 to 2606. What should I change, interpolation?
By default, Gimp keeps the aspect ratio (height/width constant). If you want to scale these independently, you click the chain link icon between the width and height fields to open it:
You can then use arbitrary values, with the caveat that this can make your image look distorted (flattened/stretched). Usually, you scale the image keeping the aspect ratio, and either add margins on the side that is too small, or crop some on the side that is too big.

i want to resize my 800x800px image into 500x1000px using libvips vipthumbnails.
we know that we can force vipthumbnail to ignore aspect ratio and do whatever dimension we want but it will simply distort the image.
resizing 800x800px image to 500x1000px will simply distort the image if we force to follow the given dimension
we simply wants to resize first to 500x500px and then on longer side add the white space in both direction equally distributed. in this case given width is 1000px so both side we will add 250px white space and align the 500x500px part in centre.
so the final image will be 500x1000px and 500x500px image with proper aspect ratio in that frame
vipsthumbnail "/path/original.jpg" --size 500x -o "/path/resize.jpg"[Q=90]
any help will be great. i dont want to use imagemagick as it consumes more memory
I have to paint some pictures for a small display of a micro controller. The Display has a resolution of 128x64 Pixel. But the Pixel aren't a square. They have a width of 0.5 mm and a height of 0.75mm. All my nice drawn images in GIMP look ugly on this display.
Can i change the ratio of drawn pixel in GIMP so i can see the image the same way like on my micro controller screen? Is there a setting for this or do i need to use my imagination?
I've looked around in settings menu but found nothing ...
thx in advanced
PS: Wrong Network?
Use Image>Print size to set a different definition for the vertical and horizontal axis (don't forget to "unlink" the two entry fields otherwise changing one will change the other).
Then untick View>Dot for dot so that Gimp no longer maps image pixels to screen pixels and displays the images with their intended definition (and aspect ratio in your case).
So in my scenario, I have a square that is (for understanding's sake) 100x100 and need to display an image that is 300x800 inside of it.
What I want to do is be able to have the image scale just as it would with UIViewContentMode.ScaleAspectFill so that the width scales properly to 100.
However, after that, I would like to then "move" the image up to the top of the image instead of it putting it inside the imageView right in the center, basically what UIViewContentMode.Top does. However that doesn't scale it first.
Is there anyway to do this type of behavior with the built in tools? Anyway to add multiple contentModes?
I already had a helper function that I wrote that scaled an image to a specific size passed in, so I just wrote a function that calculated the scaled image that would fit into the smaller square I had similar to the size AspectFill would do, and then I wrote code that would crop it with the rectangle size I needed at (0,0).
I'm trying to slice an image in assets Xcode 5. I don't know if what I'm trying to do is possible with slicing.
The image looks like this:
I need to change the width and the height of the image, although not at the same time. The closest I've got is when I use Horizontal for the height and Vertical for the width. The problem is when I change the width, the left side of the image starts as a straight line and the skews and change to the original shape.
I'm about to give up on the idea of slicing and just create three images, left, center and right. Is that the only way to go?
This is how my current slice looks like:
Is there any way to change it so it works at least for the width?
UPDATE
Instead of slicing the image I used a mask and moved the mask.
Slicing works by taking the center section, and stretching it to fill the required space and then putting on the image end caps.
Because your button has a continuous diagonal line you will not be able to slice it. It will stretch the image out like so:
In fact even if you make a centre section and end caps you will still have the same issue as this image can only be scaled.
If you only need a finite set of heights then you should create individual assets for each height that can be sliced horizontally. If you need N heights then you should look into using core graphics to draw your shape in code in a -drawRect: method for arbitrary dimensions.
P.S. if you want to horizontally slice so you can grow the width its most optimal to have only 1 pixel width of image that will be stretched out so your button image resources would look a bit like this:
Aha. TIL: You can change the slicing options from the attributes inspector in the right hand pane in Xcode. To make your slicing work choose only "Horizontal"
I have 2 relatively small pngs that will be images inside UIButtons.
Once our app is finished, we might want to resize the buttons and make them smaller.
Now, we can easily do this by resizing the button frame; the system automatically re-sizes the images smaller.
Would the system's autoresize cause the image to look ugly after shrinking the image? (i.e., would it clip pixels and make it look less smooth than if I were to shrink it in a photo editor myself?)
Or would it better to make the image the sizes they are intended to be?
It is always best to make the images of correct size from the beginning. All resize-functions will have negative impact on the end result. If you scale it up to a larger image it will be a big different, but even if you scale it down to a smaller it is usually creating visible noise in the image. Let's say that you have a line of one pixel in your image. scale it down to 90% of the original size, this line will just use 90% of a pixel wide and other parts of the images will influence the colors of the same pixels.
