Make sure the unit is set to inch and we will reduce the size of the image so that it is slightly larger than the canvas (the canvas size is 24 × 36inch and the image size will be about 47 × 84inch). The reader may notice that the image is much larger than the canvas, so select the Scale tool and click the image to display the Scale dialog box. Depending on the size of the image in use, it may take several seconds or longer to apply the effect. In the example case, we will rotate the image 90 degrees, so enter 90 into the Angle section. Next, with the Galaxy layer selected, click on the Rotate tool and click on the Galaxy image. Rotate and adjust the image size with the Transform tool This will add the image to its own layer.ĭouble click on the layer name in the Layers panel and change the name to 'Galaxy'.
This step will create a layer containing the floating selection.Ĭlick on the layer containing the floating selection and click on the 'Create new layer' icon in the Layers panel. Then select the tab (if you're using one-window mode) containing an empty canvas in GIMP and select Edit> Paste. Or, if you open the image using the first method, the user will have to go to Edit> Copy on the imported image. Users can also just click and drag the file from its location into the GIMP canvas and the image will be placed on its own layer (the file name matches the layer name). Enter the imageĪfter the canvas is empty, open the image in GIMP by going to File> Open and locating the file on the computer. OPTION: You can also change the 'Precision option' to '32 -bit floating point ' and optionally ' Gamma ' to ' Linear Light ' if you want to make the most of GIMP's capabilities with high-performance computers. But if the computer can handle such large files, just click OK to create the image.
This resolution may cause the warning appearing in GIMP to indicate that the file size will be very large. But usually, for the best print quality, the resolution should be at 300ppi. The resolution of the image is set to 72ppi in advanced options to ensure the file size is not too large. There are a few standard sizes for posters, but the article will use 24x36inch (60x91cm). Start by creating a new image of any size you like.
