Yes guys,
there is a software which can be used instead of using Photoshop. Now there is
no need to buy the pro version of Photoshop. You can install the one and only
very powerful image manipulation software. It is the best option to manipulate
your image.
Here, i am going to tell you about some tools of
GIMP so that you can easily manipulate your images without consuming too much
time on it. Hope, this will lead to
learning even more editing capabilities that GIMP is capable of as well.
To let you easily
understand this tutorial, I am dividing this
tutorial into four main points:(server management services)
1.
How
to change the size of an Image?
2.
How
to change the file size of JPEG?
1. First
of all, go to the file and open it.
1. How to change the size of an Image?
The common that
you probably face is the size of an image that is too large for a particular purpose.
Mostly, you need images of different sizes to upload on different sites for which
you need to make it short or large size. So, you can easily do this with the
help of GIMP.
When you open
the selected image in the GIMP software that is placed enlarge in size so that it fits in the entire canvas.
Following is the image :
View
of the GIMP canvas, with information at the top of the window.
Note: The
information about the image like the current pixel and the dimensions of the
image.
To change the
size of the image to new dimensions, we
need only invoke the Scale Image dialog:
Image →
Scale Image…
Following is
the how the scale image dialog box look like:
In the Scale
Image dialog, you’ll find a box to enter the values for Width and Height.
Fill the boxes with an exact value to get the desired size of the image. Just to
the right of the width, and height,
there is a small chain that shows that the values of height and width is locked
with respect to each other.
You can
see below the values is changed to 600px:
Changing the Width to
600px.
As you can
see, entering 600px for the width automatically changes the
height to 627px.
Also notice I
have shown a different option under Quality → Interpolation.
The default value for this is Cubic, but to retain the best quality
it would better to use Since (Lanczos3).
If you want
to specify a new size using a different type of value (other than Pixel size),
you can change the type by clicking on the “PX” spinner:
Changing
input value types.
2. How to change the file size of JPEG?
You can also change the size of the JPEG
image. Most of time when you are going
to change the size of the image which is in JPEG format, the quality of the image might be lost to gain the desired file size.
Above
in a picture, you can see the comparisons of different JPEG compression
levels. The quality of the image is set
to 80, the image is significantly
smaller in file size (77% size reduction), while the image quality is still
quite reasonable.
When you’ve
finished any image modifications you are doing, and are ready to export, simply
invoke the export dialog with:
File →
Export…
This will
invoke the Export Image dialog:
You can now
enter a name for your file. If you include the file type extension (in this
case, .JPEG), GIMP will automatically try to export in that file
format for you. Here I am exporting the image as a JPEG file.
You can also
navigate to a new location on your computer through the Places pane,
if you need to export the file to a different location. When you are ready to
export the image, just hit the export button.
This will
then bring up the Export Image as JPEG dialog, where you
can change the quality of the export:
From this
dialog you can now export quality is changed easily. If you also have the “Show
preview in image window” option checked, the image on the canvas will update to
reflect the quality value you input. This will also enable the “File size:”
information to tell you what the resulting file size will be. (You may need to
move some windows around to view the preview on the canvas in
the background).When you are happy with the results, hit the Export button
to export.
